ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT 89,000 MILES MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300'S ENGINE FAILED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND KEPT UP WITH ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE INCLUDING OIL CHANGES WHICH I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN NOVEMBER 2011. NO VEHICLE SHOULD FAIL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. I WAS AMAZED AT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS ME WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE. I HOPE CHRYSLER DECIDES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND FIX ALL PROBLEMS FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH ON A SURFACE STREET AND CUT OFF. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. ENGINE RUNNING ROUGH. NO ONE ABLE TO "DIAGNOSE" THE PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF. TENDS TO COME ON WHEN ACCELERATE. A SECOND INSTANCE OF ENGINE CUTTING OUT YESTERDAY WHILE ACCELERATING. TOO MANY GUESSES AS TO WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE QUITE A FEW CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
