NHTSA Complaint #11066920 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 40 MPH AND HAD TO COME TO BRIEF STOP AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I ALMOST GOT INTO A MAJOR ACCIDENT DURING TRAFFIC. NOW EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND TRY TO BRAKE NOW IT SHAKES AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I THEN LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUBFRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT MIGHT BREAK AT ANY MOMENT. I NO LONGER CAN DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY AND I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK, WIFE'S WORK AND MY SONS SCHOOL. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND NEEDS DONE IMMEDIATELY. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2006 HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAD TO BE RECALLED. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50000 MILES ON IT AND WAS GARAGE KEPT. SO I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE KNOWN ABOUT. I WILL HAVE TO GET IT FIXED THIS WEEK AND IT WILL COST ME A FORTUNE. THANK YOU!
