Timing chain failure. Caused major engine damage and failure. I was driving on the highway at 55mph and the car suddenly stalled and would not start. Had it towed to the mechanic and learned that the timing chain had broken and caused catastrophic failure/damage in the engine. I had to replace the engine, costing nearly $7k.

Came out of the store to start the car. It wouldn't start. Engine made a coins shaking in can noise. Had towed to a service center, they asked if it had overheated, I said no because it hadn't shown any signs it had. They said it got so hot things melted and valve seats and pistons were ruined. I've read about dodge jeep and chrysler hemi 5.7s and valve seats and many people had this exact same problem with no sure reason as to why. I believe there is some defect in the engine itself causing this and extended warranty's won't cover claiming because valve seats aren't an internally lubricated part or some bs reason. Needs immediately looked into I'm about to lose my car over it!

We drove the car to georgia from mississippi. As we pulled in the driveway we heard a loud noise as something was crumbling. We shut the vehicle off and noticed coolant all over the ground. We called a mechanic and he said the fan tore up and caused the blades to puncture holes into the radiator. It was fixed and as we began to leave we went about5-10 down the road and the car made a loud sound we shut it off instantly and added coolant however the car would not start again. Tried boosting it off and it still won't start. We are being told the engine seized. We had no warning lights come on . Car drove like a perfect car. They did say the oil was 1/2 quart low. We are gonna tow it back to mississippi to have it fixed

I am experiencing stall outs after fueling my car up.I entered the highway and the car stalled out while traffic is burling on top of me and I immediately put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the vehicle which didn't start right away and nearly created an rear end collision of my vehicle.after it started the car stalled again and started jerking before it stalled again..this is definitely a heart stopping experience and I am unaware if chrysler has a recall about this terrifying situation..I've purchased this vehicle new 10/2004 and never experienced this problem until the spring of 2017 ..my vehicle now has 167,000 plus miles and I'm very concerned about this existing fuel problem which can cause a major accident which I have almost became a victim..

While driving my car just stalled twice once at a red light and took a while to restart and then when making a left turn on the road it just stalled and again it took a couple of times to restart during irma I went outside to move my jeep wrangler to a safe spot and the car would not start. After the hurricane aaa was allowed to come and tow the car to the dealership because it was still under warranty for the jeep and they informed me that it was the tipm module so I looked this up and realized there is a problem with the tipm and I asked the dealership if there is recall because it happened twice on the chrysler 300 and they said no so hopefully it will be recalled soon so I can take it to get it fixed my mother who is 91 can not get in my jeep and uses a walker and now im afraid if I go further out of town to the doctors that car may shutdown on i75 and and cause a real big accident and I'm handicapped and on a fixed income and don't have the money to replace the tipm. This is 2 cars different years and the same thing plz recall the tipm for the models of cars. I will be also reporting my jeep but it just happened to be under warranty
