What owners say
2006 chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to rear brake tubes recall notice. *smd the consumer stated the rear brake system was inspected a few years ago, and no problem was found.

Car stalls out when driving for no reason no warning signs or anything loss of all power no brakes working or steering wheel almost crashed brakes get hard and steering unable to use.
Our chrysler 300c has stopped running while driving at least 10 times over the last year or so. On freeway and city streets. It usually starts back up once your stopped. My wife is afraid to drive it anymore. It is a very scary situation. No engine, no ps and no brakes. No code or check engine light. Everyone I have talked to with a 300 has had the same problem, no matter what the year or engine. Like most there is no sense taking it to dealer. They just say no code and give you some bs story about what caused it. No come up with a fix. Chrysler knows they have a problem and won't man up and fix it. They would rather someone die first to save money. It has to be in the computer. Just like toyota and their fly by wire throttle that was causing all the crashes. What is the public suppose to do if they won't step up.

- What is wrong
- Certain passenger vehicles equipped with 2.7 liter engines and mk25e braking systems may exhibit inadequate clearance between the rear brake tubes and the exhaust gas recirculation tube. Contact between the brake tubes and exhaust gas recirculation tube over an extended period of time may cause the brake tubes to wear through and cause a brake fluid leak.
- Risk
- This can result in a decrease of braking force and the potential for an engine compartment fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the rear brake tubes for damage and replace them free of charge. A clip will also be installed to secure the brake tubes to the right front shock tower to maintain proper clearance to the exhaust gas recirculation tube. The recall began on june 26, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
