NHTSA Complaint #10651254 — 2011 CHRYSLER 300

IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER, THE RADIO FLICKERED ON OFF AND MY CAR WAS STILL GOING BUT MY GAUGES THE RADIO, NOTHING WORKED. I WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A MAC TRUCK, TRYING TO CROSS OVER THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SERVICE ROAD. THE ENGINE STALLED, IT WAS HARD TO STEER AND LUCKILY THERE WAS A GAS STATION NEARBY. THREE PEOPLE TRIED TO GIVE ME A JUMP AND NOTHING WOKED AND THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNINGS. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK ONLY TO FIND THAT MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE FRIED. THE WORST THING IS I CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE P60 RECALL AND THEY DID NOT OWN UP TO THE DEFAULT UNTIL THE SECOND TIME I CALLED FROM DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD FOR ME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED. I HAVE OWNED THREE DIFFRENT 300S OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS AND THIS WILL BE MY LAST. SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE AND FAMILY MEMBERS TO ISSUES THAT DESERVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE SPENT ALL DAY ON THE PHONE TRYING TO REPLACE THIS PART AND THE ONLY PLACE THAT CARRIES THE PART IS CHRYSLER, WHAT A RIPOFF. THIS WILL COST ME OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD A YEAR AND CURRENTLY STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON. *TR
