I had been complaining for two years about a ticking sound in the engine. I was told by ginn chrysler that it was nothing. The vehicle used to try to cut off while running. Finally, on mother's day (2010) just leaving hard rock hollywood casino while driving on the florida turnpike at approx. 70 MPH; the engine completely cut off in the middle of heavy thruway traffic. We were lucky enough to be close to an off ramp and coasted to a stop on the shoulder of the exit ramp.. We had to remain there for 3 hours until someone was kind enough to pick us up and take us home. My 83 year old mother-in-law had to stand up for a few hours until we were picked-up. The engine had to be replaced for $2450.23. A few months later, after receiving the new engine, the vehicle would have difficulty starting for four years. It seemed to want to cut off again. I reported this to massey and dadeland chrysler and was finally told after a free 24 point inspection during a oil change that it was the tipm. Now, on 11/20/2014, I was told that it was the fobik in a recall letter. After being told of the numerous safety problems, I could not drive the car for fear of harming the public or myself and my passengers. I cannot drive this vehicle until it is repaired. I feel that I should be given a vehicle to drive until such time in the future. Until then, I do not have my own transportation. I have paid $33,000 for this car.

I bought a new chrysler 300 in 2008. The 300 is having very major issues in july 10, 2010 / september 09 , 2011 / september 04 2012 / august 12 , 2013/ , june 2014 / september 2014 the 300 had to be towed many times because the car will not start; this car was shutting down while driving what is very dangerous and scary ; when we put the car in neutral the car might restart, we had some very unsafe driving concerns at this time when the vehicle was stalling repetitively anywhere (freeway, regular street, when driving slow, fast), we were told it was due to a faulty ignition module and 6 times we came to chrysler it was something related to a faulty ignition we kept driving the 300 not feeling safe , the car stalls anytime ,anywhere , the dealership seems unable to fix the issue . My wife who mainly drove the car decided to let me drive the 300 because she was not feeling safe driving with the kids scared to get into a car accident because the engine never stopped shutting down anywhere she drives ( freeway, street) the ignition issue is consistent 1 year apart ,july 2010,september 2011,september 2012 , august 2013 june 014 ,september 2014 , I am certain if nothing seriously is done I will contact you again next year for the same issue. This faulty ignition issue must be fix permanently at chrysler dealership cost; my family is not safe driving this car; ; the dealership is well aware of the issue for many years now but they ignore us. I have enough that is why I contact you to see if anything you can do to help me resolving this issue. I will ask first for a refund associated to all ignition issues and a total fix of the problem I sent a certified complaint letter to chrysler in june 2014 but still waiting for a response.
Premature outer tie rod wear/failure please check the angle of the tie rod connection.
I stated their was a rubbing type noise in right/left front wheel when turning. The result was nothing. The second occurrence was august 13, 2008 with the same problem. The third time day chrysler resurfaced front and rear rotors. The subsided but occurred again. The brakes drag and pulsate when stopping. I continue to have noisy front wheels while driving forward. When backing the automobile up the front brake pads are not stationary meaning they should not move in brake calipers. The steering knocks when turning. I have complained to the chrysler corporation.
