My car will outright just stop for no reason. I will sit at a light and the RPM guage will start going out of control and the car will rev on its own. Then I will start driving and ti will be find until I go to press on the brakes. Then the whole car will cut out. I'm able to get it to turn over again after two or three efforts of turning the key and pumping the brake. It has once done it with my daughter in the car, which I am not okay with. Luckily, we were turning into a neighborhood and not onto the highway into high speed traffic. It turned off and on about 7 times down the road before it started running properly again. It seemed to happen every time I would hit the brakes or attempt to turn. The car cut out like it had run out of gas even though there was plenty in the tank. All the lights on the right side (traction, ABS, etc) came on and then disappeared once it started running okay again. I had my fuel pump replaced twice thinking that was the issue and it was not. Something is wrong with this car and it needs to be recalled before someone gets hurt and it's to late to fix it.

In motion, stationary, or at any time or place. City, highway, and turning those ABS controls come on and off. The entire dashboard lights begin to flicker on and off, lose power seems car is going to not perform. Has power then sometimes no power. Abs control module,, antilock brake system, powertrain control module, feels like transmission momentary no power while driving, seems to slip into neutral then to drive. Loss of vehicle control when this happens. These car actions seriously puts mein unsafe vehicle my mom, my grand kids in danger. And in danger. You never know while driving if these defects will happen or not. Had to fix gear shift, it locked in park due to pin slipping out. I want all and every single recall fixed for free. This has been going on for a long while. Still occuring.
My cars electric control throttle warning signal came on. My car was going around a curve on a sunny day and the ABS warning light came on and also the warning light for no traction and I have new tires. The ignition sometimes fault when I turn the key to start the car.
I bought this 2007 chrysler 300 in 2008. It had approximately 86,000 miles on it. Before it reached 100,000 miles the problems had already started. First the ABS and traction control lights and another light located on the right side of my panel came on. My car was locking me out at any moment. First I thought it might have been my fault but it happened twice to me while my car was running and my keys in the ignition!! Well, I thought to myself, " I know I didn't hit the lock button before I got out of my car, so when it happened the second time I went home and sit in my garage and I sat and watched. All of sudden my car started locking and unlocking all by itself and on the outside with my keys watching this thinking "I was right"!!!! Well not only was the car acting crazy, it started acting up when I pull out of any road like it didn't want to go, and I was thinking to myself, "I am eventually going to get ran over because my car wont go!!!! During these incidents the ABS and the traction control lights would come on then go off and come back on again. I never knew what it was going to do. Certain times going down the road it would do the same thing and it was acting like the wheels was going to lock up!!! Until this very day, 08-05-2014 it still has these problems. I wish I had never bought it and ill never buy another chrysler or dodge ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally made the call after 6 years of this crap and the lady I spoke to says, "there are no recalls on this particular car. Well chrysler!!?? I wish you would buy this burden back and sell it for scrap!!! Its been the biggest burden I have had ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has been more problems with this vehicle but so much has happened that you need to drive it to find out for yourself!
Every time I either turn a corner or back out of my drive the ABS and traction control light lights come on and stay on. I was told that there is no safety issue, but I noticed that there was a recall on my make and year but I missed the recall by a month. And since this is so, did they fix the problem with the manufacturer? Also, I will have to had to fix my interlock shift now for the second time in two years come this thursday. I am worried about not being able to get my car out of park and move out of the way in an emergency. I am going to utilize social media to see if I can get more people to complain to you all and also to chrysler to get this costly and possibly dangerous problem fixed.
My steering went out in my 2007 chrysler 300. I was traveling south on I-5 near exit 165a. I was in the fast lane going 65 MPH at 2:45pm when I suddenly lost control of my vehicle and I could no longer steer the vehicle. I came to a stop but while doing so my right front wheel jack knifed and caused the steering wheel to shake violently. It was all I could do to just keep the vehicle going straight as I came to a stop.I had to leave my vehicle mostly in the fast lane since I could not steer it and there was no shoulder to pull over onto. I had to jump over on open spot that I could see 40 feet below me on I-5 to get to a quieter area to make my phone calls for emergency help. The vehicle was towed to the local chrysler dealership. The service writer had no time so I did and found a broken heavy duty ball joint that connects to my front right wheel. It had sheered in the middle and caused my steering to go out and damaged my ABS braking and the brake shield plate along with scraping the inside of my right front wheel. I then called chrysler corporate at there hotline and was asking about a recall or warranty help. I went to the parts counter and talked with them and they said this happens regularly and we keep a supply of ball joints on hand because of this. I purchased the ball joint for my vehicle. I asked how much to install the part and if there was a warranty on there work. He said for 12 months they would warranty the part if they installed it. They found more steering problems with the vehicle. They replaced the left ball joint since they saw it going out along with the left and right tie rods because they were loose along with ABS parts that were ruined. I was told that the local police drive dodge chargers that have the same steering as a chrysler 300 and they are replacing ball joints on those vehicles regularly along with the chrysler 300.
