What 2004 Chrysler 300 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Brakes-- I was not having any brake issues at all before this happened: I started braking while pulling into a hotel parking lot but the brake petal went right down to the floor and I had no brakes! I put the car in neutral and pushed down on the emergency brake. I went up a curb but at least didn't hit the building. I had the car towed, explained what happened, and the auto repair shop couldn't find anything wrong with the braking system?? And then, of course, it happened again. I had a different place look at the braking system and I think it was a master cyclinder problem. Electrical- the car has turned off completely while driving, even on the highway. I have to put it in neutral and restart it. Cam shaft sensor is being replaced next week and hopefully that will fix the issue.
