NHTSA Complaint #10907301 — 2010 CHRYSLER 300

WHILE DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN BEFORE MERGING ONTO BUSY TRAFFIC ON A MAIN ROAD WHEN MY CAR CUT OFF. I TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN BUT IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. AFTER TOW ATTEMPTS I STOPPED TRYING TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SIGNALED FOR THE CARS BEHIND TO TRY TO GO AROUND (AS THIS WAS NOT EASY AS I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC). NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON, OR CAME ON PREVIOUSLY, I MAINTAINED ADEQUATE 3000 MI OIL CHANGES, AND MAINTENANCE. MEANWHILE A POLICE OFFICER HELPED ME PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND MOVED ME OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND STAYED NEAR WHILE I WAITED ON THE TOW TRUCK. I AM GRATEFUL THAT MY CAR DID NOT STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS TRANSPORTING MY CHILD. THE THOUGHT OF MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLING IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY! WITH THE MILEAGE OF MY CAR, THE ENGINE SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF MY WORRIES.
