2007 Chrysler 300 Engine problems

My car was parked at my house last nite and I came home to fire department at my house extinguishing my car that was engulfed in flames. The fire department said it was electrical fire. They told me they think the battery got to hot and caused the fire. The vehicle will be with progress insurance garage. For inspection. If me or my kids were in the vehicle we would of been either burnt beyond repair or dead. No warning lights at all. No noises nothing it ran perfect. My insurance progressive is taking my vehicle today or tomarrow for inspection.

I bought a 07 Chrysler 300 at 126k. I had just got an oil change like a month before and radiator clean. One day I'm driving and then I parked and then I crank it up and it just starts making noise out of no where.So I cut it off and on and it's making clacking noise. I didn't have no lights on when I bought the car 3 months ago and it still doesn't have a light on. It just locked up on me out of no where. I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my car. I only had it 3 months and my motor Locked up on me with no...

The vehicle has had two owners in the same family and has very low mileage (66000). The issue began in october of 2018. While driving on city streets at 40 mph the indicators on the dash began flickering and making noise. This continued intermittently for three months but could not be replicated at an independent mechanic. Then in january of 2019 while driving on the freeway at 65 mph the same issue happened except this time there the speedometer went to 0 but the car could still be operated. The car was taken into...

Purchased this car few months ago. Monday feb. 24Th, 2020 I was sitting inside my car when suddenly I notice a fire in the engine. I immediately grab my wallet and phone exited the car and called 911. The firemen came (fire was out by that time) .

The car has only 92000 miles and maintained good. Since it was only 70000 miles the a.C stopped blowing cold air. It was diagnosed that inside the dashboard the evaporator is not working properly causing freon leak. And outrage repair of 2000 dollars will be the cost. This is a problem with many chrysler's 300 2005-2010. Since that is a main issue why there is no recall on this part? It seems like that company knows about this issue from over a 10000 customers and doesn't do anything about it. On their products...

While I was at a red light to make a u turn my car was runing just fine , I proceded to make my u turn half way through my cars engine complete shuts off without warning or knowledge that it did due to everything else working just fine in the middle of traffic at that point my steering wheel got hard and I had to push it out of traffic. Did not feel safe that my car just shut off while driving I had my children in the car thankfully it did not result to any accident or injuries but it could have. Afraid to drive the car at all at the moment.

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!

The car just shuts off when am driving. All the dashboard light go on and no power. The car shuts off when I stop and put it in park and other gears.

At around 106k, a valve seat broke and dropped into a cylinder chamber, damaging the cylinder. The engine is a complete loss. No compression in one cylinder and 50 lbs difference in compression in remaining seven cylinders. The car had recently been driven and parked in a garage. About ten minutes later it was started, backfired and failed to idle. A scope detected at least one cylinder was damaged. Mechanic assessment: need a complete new engine.

Over 2 years ago at 108,000 miles while driving we experienced a loud rattling noise coming from the engine. It eventually stopped but the car kept running rough and smoking. We opened up the engine and a piston had failed and collapsed in upon itself. We pulled the engine and performed a complete engine rebuild. About 2 months ago at 134,000 miles we had a similar occurrence. We pulled the head and found that cylinder two had damage on the head and corresponding locations on the piston. Compression test confirmed...

My car's 96,000 mile engine suddenly blew a #6 cylinder soon after I drove from work. I have an excellent service history. Never had any warning or issues. Now I'm told to pay 6500 for another engine with more miles. My research shows this an ongoing issue with chrysler hemi engines. My next step is to contact my congressman and senator. Why has chrysler been held accountable?

12/5/2015 Went to the market, 2 miles from home. Went into the store for approx. 15 Minutes. When I returned to car to start is wouldn't start, not a battery problem. Couldn't move car so had it towed to dealership, mcpeeks dodge of anaheim.
