I was driving at 70mph 2:30 am on the highway at night right before a curve the headlights shut off due to the main computer 'tpim'.in essence it kills all auto features immediately including the headlights. It's a common problem with these cars just look on some of the forms online. I'm upset because my wife could have been driving the car at the time. Chrysler should be held accountable sense it's an issue with this car in general. They also have issues with the lifters due to the poor quality of the lifters rollers and the mds system.

All dashboard lights blink on and off and then headlights go off and interior lights and dash all turn off - while driving! This is extremely unsafe! It was dark when this last happened and I was barely able to pull over to turn the car off and back on again. This has happened many times in the past 2 years. When you turn the car back on it seems to be ok. But very scary and unsafe.

The engine shut off completely while driving. This caused a total loss in power steering, head lights, and anti-lock brakes. Fortunately I was on a well lit road with a long straightaway and able to muscle the car to a safe stop. Had I been a few miles farther down the road I would have been on a winding road with no street lights. It would have certainly caused a major accident. I took the car into a mechanic and they found nothing wrong with it.

I have had problems with my 2006 chrysler 300c door handles for quite some time now. After a year or two when I first purchased the vehicle, the back exterior (chrome) right door handle became partially detached. I had it repaired and since then, the very same door handle as well as the exterior door handle on the driver's side is partially detached. Also, the handle on the passenger side is completely detached. This is a big problem. I bought my car brand new and I have had numerous problems with it. As pricey as this vehicle is, you would think that chrysler would use the best parts for their vehicles. There needs to be a recall on these handles. When I replaced it before, it cost about $200 and this is ridiculous. I should not have to pay to replace these handles when clearly there is an issue on their end. I also want to add that my car has stalled numerous times before after putting gas in it and the oil light would come on sometimes. My headlights also don't work properly. I have to keep the headlight knob in the auto position just for them to remain on otherwise the lights will blink on and off. So during the daytime, my headlights are on. I didn't have this issue until after I took my car for an oil change at the dealership. I absolutely hate to take my car to the dealership (hebert's town & country) because they never can seem to fix the problem or they end up creating one.

Electrical problem has been happening since purchase in december 2005. Sometimes power windows will not go up or down, lights on temp gauges and dash have burned out and heated seats occasionally get super hot. Headlights have gone out while driving even after replacing the switch and all the trouble lights have come on while driving down the road. Have taken to many different dealers and none have found any problems they say.
