On August 18th, 2025 around 6:45 pm, our anti-lock break system stopped working, started smoking and caught fire. The fire came up through the engine under the hood and melted everything. There were no warning signs. Just smoke and flames. Luckily we were able to pull over and exit the vehicle. The fire was extinguished with 2 fire extinguishers. The car is a total loss.

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.

This vehicle was involved in a tragic car accident. The passengers both suffered deep laceration to the skull and other vital parts of the body. There was a recall notice that was sent to the owner 4 months after the fatal accident had occurred. Based on police inspection of the vehicle, they’ve determined there was mechanical failure to the vehicle which can be seen through a police bodycam at the police impound lot. The front passenger suffered a 6 inch deep cut to the skull according to the medical examiner’s report. The child in the rear also suffered a deep laceration to the ankle and foot despite being restrained in a child seat. Driver suffered a graze cut to the side of his head and survived the tragic accident after recovering from a coma he stated that the brakes did not function properly when depressed moments prior to the accident. Data recorder from the vehicle shows the driver was depressing the brake pedal the entirety of the time up to the moment of impact. This vehicle was t-boned by an suv, and this accident should have been survivable, however the passenger seat looks to be torn out of its brackets according to the pictures from the accident scene. I am requesting this vehicle be investigated as there are many vehicles similar to this one that could have dangerous defects which were outlined in the safety recall notice that was mailed to the owner. The safety recall did mention to stop driving this vehicle immediately, however this notice did not arrive in

Something with throttle it will shake and slow down at a certain speed

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and completing a turn, the contact observed that her grandson’s car seat had turned over on its side, prompting her to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact secured the car seat and became aware that the rear passenger’s seat belts failed to remain secure in the seat belt buckle. There was no warning light illuminated.

I was driving at around 15 mph down a dark road when I heard a loud pop and it sounded like something hit the top of my car. I then heard crackling above me so I opened the visor to the sunroof and saw it was completely shattered so I closed the visor right before the glass started falling down. I did not report to police or insurance. I can’t afford an expensive fix like this. I know for a fact no debris hit me and there couldn’t have been a build up of cabin pressure because my driver’s side window was down when it happened. There were no warning lamps illuminated and no cracks or chips in the sunroof beforehand. I vacuumed up all the glass I could but now I don’t have protection against the rain and cannot wash my car.

Engine constantly leaking coolant from multiple areas on the engine. Have had to constantly get it repaired at least once a month. Also have had constant cylinder misfires, fuel injector system keeps going bad

Seatbelts have failed, malfunctioned on separate occasions throughout the years. Inspection of my vehicle is welcome for study on the seatbelts. On arrival to destinations, seatbelt or seatbelts will lock, and unable to release from the the button-press mechanism. Myself or passenger will then need to climb out of the belt from the bottom or top of restraint. Another note for safety hazards is the struggle to get back into the contraption isn’t time worthy- traveling from destinations sitting over top of seatbelts is an issue- a life or death situation. As there has not been physical altercations yet- I am concerned of the seatbelts locking and the mechanism button to unleash seatbelts fail, putting safety at risk for all passengers. The vehicle typically passes inspection, as for the malfunctions don’t happen while being inspected. There are no warnings whatsoever as to when the button click mechanism spontaneously locks into place.

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 warning ⚠️ no lights. I been reading and I see they been saying something about the oil pump going out in Chrysler motors. Now I hear they don't even make my size motor no more. U have to buy a remanufactured or rebuild one. That's alot of money I just spent to get it and now I got to pay the same amount I paid for the car for a motor because the oil pump went out without a sign or warning or light. I'm out of $5,000 and I gotta pay another $5,000 for motor. That is not right. I wish Chrysler would do something about this. That's alot of money gone down the drain in 3 months and I kept it clean and running. My oil ain't even turn color yet. It's still clear. My car been sitting down going on a whole year.

I have 130k mileage on my Chrysler 300 2007 model. For about 3months, I’ve been experiencing fuel leaks from the bottom rear corner of the driver side just directly beneath my fuel tank, which also makes both the exterior and interior of the car smell of gas. I took the car for maintenance and the fuel tank seals were replaced after my fuel pump was changed. There was no visible fuel spill after the rear seats were removed and inspected but there was constant droplets of fuel from beneath the rear left side of the car. I don’t know what else to do and what can cause this?.. besides, whenever I put fuel in my tank, I can smell fuel coming from the AC vents. Also, my airbag warning light has been on for a long time on my dashboard. Help!!!
