NHTSA Complaint #10644217 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 264 THE FIRST TIME THAT THE RED FLASHING BOLT CAME ON THE DASH OF MY CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, 2005, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DROPPED DOWN TO LESS THAN 30 MILES. IT WENT INTO THE LIMP HOME MODE. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND RESTART THE CAR AND IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS IN WHICH ONE PERSON SAID THAT HE HAD THE EQUIPMENT TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. WELL WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING EVEN WHEN DRIVING ON THE REGULAR STREETS. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THE CAR WAS WORST EVEN AFTER TAKING IT BACK THREE TIMES. WE WERE CHARGED OVER $2000.00 BETWEEN THE TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THE CAR IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET REPAIRED. I EMAILED CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE LIST THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IF CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIX IT, WHO CAN? I PUT IN A SPECIAL ORDER FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I WANTED THE LIGHT GREEN COLOR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EVER ORDERED A CAR FROM A COMPANY AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED. I THANK GOD THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK WHEN THIS CAR WAS DOING THIS. IT HAS BEEN PARKED, BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR. *TR
