2007 CHRYSLER 300 Engine Problems

My car was parked at my house last nite and I came home to fire department at my house extinguishing my car that was engulfed in flames. The fire department said it was electrical fire. They told me they think the battery got to hot and caused the fire. The vehicle will be with progress insurance garage. For inspection. If me or my kids were in the vehicle we would of been either burnt beyond repair or dead. No warning lights at all. No noises nothing it ran perfect. My insurance progressive is taking my vehicle today or tomarrow for inspection.

Engine constantly leaking coolant from multiple areas on the engine. Have had to constantly get it repaired at least once a month. Also have had constant cylinder misfires, fuel injector system keeps going bad

I bought a 07 Chrysler 300 at 126k. I had just got an oil change like a month before and radiator clean. One day I'm driving and then I parked and then I crank it up and it just starts making noise out of no where.So I cut it off and on and it's making clacking noise. I didn't have no lights on when I bought the car 3 months ago and it still doesn't have a light on. It just locked 🔒 up on me out of no where. I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my car. I only had it 3 months and my motor Locked up on me with no warning ⚠️ no lights. I been reading and I see they been saying something about the oil pump going out in Chrysler motors. Now I hear they don't even make my size motor no more....

ON YESTERDAY I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AFTER PICKING UP MY SEVEN YEAR OLD SON FROM SCHOOL PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND THE EXHAUST FAN EXPLORED. THE BLADES HIT THE RADIATOR SO HARD IT PUT A HOLE IN IT. THE FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR POURED OUT ONTO THE DRIVE. ALL I COULD DO WAS SIT AND THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THE DAY BEFORE BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFT LOCK IN THIS SAME CAR AS IT WAS STRUCK IN PARK. WHAT'S NEXT????? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED. CLEARLY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE CARS. *TR

THE FAN BROKE AND FLEW INTO THE RADIATOR, PUNCTURING IT. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANKFULLY, I HAD JUST TURNED ONTO A STREET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THE FAN ASSEMBLY ON SOME OF THE MODELS, BUT NOT ON MINE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

PER THREE MECHANICS, THE COOLING FAN AND COOLING PIPE THERMOSTAT WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF THESE PARTS LOOSENING, THE RADIATOR DEVELOPED A HOLE IN IT. MY CAR WAS LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID AND STOPPED RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, AND DECIDED TO CALL AROUND FOR A SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH OPINION. EACH MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THESE SAME ISSUES LISTED WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONSISTENTLY REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST ME AND REFERRED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE INVESTIGATES THIS, AS THIS ISSUE IS VERY COSTLY AND NOT AS A RESULT OF ABUSE OR POOR USE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS LOW IDLING, TYPICALLY IN HIGHWAY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR AT A STOP LIGHT. EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN, BUT THE CAR STARTS UP AGAIN 15 TO 30 SECONDS AFTER IT STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (2007) FIRST OCCURRING @ 25,000 MILES.
