Chrysler 300 series and dodge chargers have a plastic dipstick handle that swells and breaks in the tube. As a service technician this is costing the company money and poses a potential safty risk if the proper oil level can not be checked

I purchased a 2007 chrysler 300 at the end of 2012 with 24k miles on it. Since purchasing it the car has continued to stall - while in motion at speeds of 55 MPH and while under 10 MPH. I have invested a considerable amount of money over a two year period trying to remedy the problem including the replacement of the purge valve in december 2014. The car stalled again today while driving 50 MPH, and was difficult to restart.
Driving 60 miles per hour on a houston,texas crowded and busy freeway. My chrysler 300 caught on fire immediately followed by thick black smoke and a strong smell of burning of burning plastic. The car caused cars to come to a complete stop on a 5 lane freeway because of the thick smoke. My steering wheel locked so loss of steering,brakes became mushy. Right before the loud boom fire and smoke. The check engine displayed and then the other lights in the instrument panel and sound of a pop then boom of smoke all within approx 5 seconds. It happened really fast. I have no special equipment. No rewiring of stereo equipment or any other kind of rewiring. All factory parts.

Car is stalling all the time. It's very dangerous ! I believe it is very inappropriate for 100,000 customers to be having the same problem and chrysler not recall and fix this problem. My car is in the shop now again !!!!
On yesterday I pulled into my driveway after picking up my seven year old son from school put my car into park and the exhaust fan explored. The blades hit the radiator so hard it put a hole in it. The fluid from the radiator poured out onto the drive. All I could do was sit and thank god it didn't happen the day before because I was out of town and I had to replace the shift lock in this same car as it was struck in park. What's next????? How many people have to complain about these two problems before a recall is issued. Clearly this is a problem with all these cars.
I started up the vehicle and there was a weird noise coming from up under the hood. I thought it could have been the vehicle beside me so I turned my car off and the noise stopped. I started my vehicle again and heard the noise again. So I turned off the motor, raised the hood and observed coolant on the vehicle's frame and on the ground. I took the vehicle to a repair shop and they found that one of the two cooling fans separated and punctured the radiator in several locations. I learned of a recall for this issue with my particular vehicle but chrysler is refusing to pay for the repairs stating that my vehicle is not included in the recall even though the issue specifically stipulated in the recall occurred to my vehicle.
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.
Per three mechanics, the cooling fan and cooling pipe thermostat went out in the vehicle. As a result of these parts loosening, the radiator developed a hole in it. My car was leaking radiator fluid and stopped running unexpectedly. I had to have the car towed to a local repair shop, and decided to call around for a second, third, fourth and fifth opinion. Each mechanic diagnosed the problem and stated that there was a recall with these same issues listed with the same vehicle type and year. I have contacted chrysler consistently regarding this issue, but they were not able to assist me and referred me to this website. I am hoping that someone investigates this, as this issue is very costly and not as a result of abuse or poor use of the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, all of the lights illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for a diagnosis. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the current mileage was 105,000.
My engine shuts off when the car is low idling, typically in highway stop and go traffic or at a stop light. Everything shuts down, but the car starts up again 15 to 30 seconds after it stops. This has happened every year since I bought the car (2007) first occurring @ 25,000 miles. I experience this 4-5 times per year, usually during the winter with cooler temperatures and rain (I live in southern california).
I've owned the car for six and a half years now. At times the car just loses power without any warning. This happens intermittently and doesn't seem to matter what speed I'm going or what the road conditions are. It happens in good weather (dry roads) and bad weather (wet snowy roads). It's happened both with the cruise control on and off. It has happened at least 10 times to date. At times the car slows to almost a complete stop and then takes off again. At times it has come to a complete stop. I've had to turn the car off and back on again and it's fine. Lately when it happens if I press the gas petal repeatedly the car will take off again and be fine until the next time it happens. I've never had any check engine light or instrument panel light come on. I've taken it to the chrysler dealer a few times throughout my ownership but it never duplicates the problem for them (of course). The car now has 113,000 miles on it and is out of warranty (figures). This is very dangerous.

Check engine light on for p1004 cel"intake short runner control valve actuator, a tsb is listed as chrysler knowingly acknowledges a faulty part and has issued a tsb repair cost approx $2000 for a know defective actuator that may be stuck due to a poor design, will not pass california emissions due to cel chrysler will not honor under warranty that expired in july, attempted to get repaired at dealer was denied said was not covered, should have been repaired under warranty, or at least emissions warranty that is 7 years or 100000 miles from my understanding. Please advise.
