I CAME TO A STOP AND MY CAR LITERALLY WENT UP IN WHITE SMOKE, LEAKED LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THAN THE CAR SHUT OFF, AT TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HAVE BEEN TILL THIS DAY TAKING IT TO MANY REPAIR SHOPS TO HAVE WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG FIXED UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT TO ENGINE SPECIALIST AND SAID ENGINE BLEW. I HAVE NOT HAD CAR MORE THAN 3 YEARS AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND REFUSE TO HELP. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US WHO PAY SO MUCH MONEY ON A CAR THAT CHRYSLER THEM SELF TOLD ME WAS A BIG ISSUE IN THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C 5.7 V8 HEMI HAVING ENGINE FAILURE AND DON'T EVEN RECOMMEND PEOPLE TO BUY THIS PATICULAR MODEL OF CAR..
