15 seconds after starting the car at 7:45 am the engine stopped with a big metallic noise. Called chrysler assistance and 20 minutes after the towing are here and another 20 minutes late, the car arrives at the dealer garage. They called me afternoon and told me that the problem was the water pump blocked and causing the timing belt problem. They replaced the water pump and timing belt the same day under warranty.

Odometer has 42,000.00 miles. Car was running fine at 2,200 rpms (on highway, 70 MPH with cruise control on) when out of no where I heard a faint knocking from the engine. Before I could get off at the next exit the knock was extremely loud. Before I could get home (3 miles) the engine seized. The oil was changed 700 miles ago and the oil level was full at the time of the incident.
My 2008 chrysler 300 has lost power in the middle of the road while driving at least 4 times. After the third incident, I took the car in, the service employees at the dealership told me there was nothing wrong. Then it happened again. In all incidents, the ignition had to be turned to off, then on again to start. In the last instance, the RPM went way up to 4000 and stayed there even though speeding was not involved. We had to pull off the freeway and turn the car off, then on again. Then it went back to normal. I took the car in again last week, and again, they said there was nothing wrong. Luckily we have not been involved in accidents due to this happening. I just hope that the next time, which I'm sure there will be a next time, I don't get into an accident, especially with my kids in car.
Transmission bangs when shifting gears while driving. When shifting gears from park to drive, sometimes it makes a big bang/knock going into gear. Also, engine has died while waiting at a stop light. Engine RPM needle fluctuates when driving.
