TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHRYSLER 300M. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. MA 10/25/15 *CN

WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT 3 WEEKS AFTER SALE THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE NOW YET OVER 5K WORTH OF RECEIPTS OF REPAIRS COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT YET AGAIN THIS TIME WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN THE CAR SHUT OFF IN MOTION IN MIDDLE OF A 4 WAY. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHT S INTERIOR POPS ON WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE FRICTION IN THE SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN ACTIVELY DOING THIS FOR APPROX. 2 YEARS WHEN I TOOK TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT THE MECHANIC ADVISED ITS A POORLY BUILT CAR AND WOULD NEED THE WHOLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM RE-WIRED. THE BIGGEST THING IS THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING IN 1ST GEAR AND REVERSE THE FIRST TIME THE ENGINE BLEW I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AT 65 MILES PER...

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON MAY 8TH 2014, MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. IN A SPLIT SECOND DECISION I DECIDED TO GO TO WORK INSTEAD OF COFFEE FIRST TO CALL A MECHANIC AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES MY CAR HAD DIED. SMOKE WAS COMING IN THROUGH MY VENTS AND I HAD WITNESSES YELLING AT ME TO GET AWAY FROM MY CAR IT WAS ON FIRE. IN THE 5 MINUTES IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO GET THERE, THE FRONT OF MY CAR WAS GONE. I HAD LITTLE TO NO WARNING OF THIS AND HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RECALL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME THAT DAY AND THANKFUL THAT THE ONLY INJURY TO ME WAS SMOKE/FUME INHALATION. *TR
