2009 Chrysler 300 Engine problems

The OEM starter ignited a fire under the front end of my vehicle. Upon noticed, I immediately grabbed a fire extinguisher, and I put the fire out. I had my two young boys in the car at the time when it happened and I urged them to get out of the car immediately my young son has a fear from now on on getting in vehicles. There wasn't any issuing warning lights that prompted any awareness. Initially started the car to run and get the juices flowing - seeing The car was parked. There wasn't any movement to Initiate spark.

Car had 98,474 miles on odometer. Engine is mercedes design and guaranteed for 100,000. Engine blew with no warning signs or symptoms or any kind of issues. I was driving 73 mph on i-10 when I heard a low "ka-thunk", electric and oil lights lit on dash, and car began decelerating. At time, I was being tailgated by another vehicle . I hit emergency lights, driver behind me apparently got the message to drive around my vehicle although he/she had plenty of time prior to incident to do this. I was able to pull off...

While driving on the freeway my chrysler 300c died while I was driving in traffic going approximately 65 mph. The vehicle just cut itself off. It lost power to the engine. This has happened a few times since I've had this vehicle.

While driving at highway speed engine and lights and all power equip shuts down like turning off the ignition. Lights also shut off! Usually can shift to neutral and restart engine. Sometimes it takes several tries before it keeps running. Dealer cannot find problem. No error codes stored. Afraid I will be run over on freeway!Happens at different speeds at anytime. Need help!

While driving down road engine just stops running as if ignition was turned off! Radio stays on. Shift to neutral and able to restart it if not run over by then! Very bad safety problem! Has happened multiple times. No pattern that I can tell.

My vehicle stalled while turning into a driveway. I had to coast to a stop and restart the vehicle. It has stalled many times on me while at a low speed. Usually it happens while turning corners, going into driveways and sometimes at stops. I have almost been involved in accidents because of it stalling while turning. I have taken the car to my mechanic several times and have had a myriad of things fixed but to no avail it still does the stalling. If you know of any problems with this vehicle stalling I would like to know what I can do to fix this problem and if chrysler has had this problem with other vehicles. I feel unsafe as I never know when it will happen. *Tr

I own a 2009 chrysler 300c, which has been having consistent problems with the engine shutting off while driving down the busy highway. The vehicle is stalling, quitting, not starting on the first try, fail to keep running once started, or completely stop on its own recognizance. I feel unprotected because my vehicle automatic shut off and could cause death or serious injury. The performance of this vehicle and its equipment is leading me into unreasonable anxiety for my safety due to the sudden stopping in...

While driving on the freeway my chrysler 300 died while I was accelerating into heavy traffic going approximately 55 mph. The vehicle just cut itself off. It lost power to the engine, I lost my power steering, nor could I brake. I was close to being slammed in the rear. I was able to maneuver it to the edge of the freeway because I was luckily in the right hand lane. It took several tries to get the motor to restart. This power loss has happened on several occasions and is very frightening. From time to time I must continue to turn the ignition to the start position. It appears that there is play within the ignition switch and no contact is made preventing it to power on. *Tr

While driving vehicle experienced total power loss while driving on the highway when I was braking from approximately 70 down to 40mph. This is the second time this has happened in a week. *Tr

I have replaced parts to my front end three times. The part has cost me 125 plus labor each time. Im not sure of the name of the part, but u will know when it needs to be replaced because every time u hit a bump in the road it sounds like your front end is about to fall off. And I have replaced my thermostat housing unit twice, it literally melted twice! *Tr
