NHTSA Complaint #11163173 — 2009 CHRYSLER 300

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE, INTERIOR LIGHTS, EXTERIOR LIGHTS, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES ALL SHUT DOWN. THE CAR EFFECTIVELY WAS MOVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO POWER. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE ROAD SIDE THRU TRAFFIC AND THE CAR HAD TO RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY. I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON YEARS PRIOR TO AND AFTER THIS YEAR FOR IGNITION KEY ISSUES. I ONLY USE THE KEY WHILE DRIVING WITH NO KEY RING ATTACHED. IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT LESS FREQUENTLY. I AM NOW WORKING EVENING HOURS AND THE LIGHTS SHUTTING DOWN HAS BECOME A BIGGER ISSUE.
