The transmission went out. It was fine then then lights started flickering inside and out and then when I turned the car off and tried to turn it back on it was completely dead. No lights or power at all. Had to get a jump start. Then when I tried to go it was revving up but wouldnt move and then all of a sudden jumped into gear real hard. It had significant loss of power and would get up and go. It's real slow from the start and it dangerous driving it because it will just rev up and not move then jump into gear very hard. It has almost thrown my car into the back of other cars because it jumps so bad I to gear all of a sudden. Then when you try to get out of the way of another car coming g it sometimes barely moves and it very dangerous. It has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since. It had a lot of loss of power. I had the transmission replace 2 times and both including the original are all stuck in 2nd gear. Also when I turn the car it makes a loud popping cracking sound by the wheels. Like it's going to break. Also going over speed bumps it's really loud and squeaky.

My chrysler 300 cuts off while I'm driving. It does this without warning. The first time I was driving down the street and came to a stop sign, I was unable to steer the wheel everything locked except for the brakes and gear. I push on the brakes and put it into gear I crank the cat up and was able to get it started again. It happened a few days later I was turning into the parking lot and it cut off in the middle of the street. I had to do the same thing. I had a mechanic look at it and have had things replaced on the car but still having the same issue. Just yesterday I was almost at the light and I lost power. I had to once again hurry and put it into parking and then restart the car. This issue scares me because I have a 7yr old daughter that is with me most of the time and this car doesn't have a set time when it does it. I have had the car for a little over a year. I am afraid that it may do this on the highway or cause an accident.

While driving on an urban street at 30 miles per hour the car lost power, and then accelerated, and then failed completely. It would not start, but after waiting a short time, it did start. When I took it to the dealer 2 sensors, associated with the throttle control module, were replaced. Ten months later it recurred - was "fixed" , and now it has occurred for the third time.

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.

All of the warning lights (instrument panel) come on while driving and the gauges fluctuates back and forth, headlights go out, the jerks but doesn't lose power. Warning lights and gauges flicker for 30-45 seconds before going out. This has happened several times but could not get it to repeat at the shop. It occurs at various speeds, at various times (mornings and night), from 25-40mph or at highway (interstate) speed. The last time of the occurrence was 11/09/2015 in the morning during rush hour traveling approximately 15mph.

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.
