Vehicle automatically shuts off in the midst of driving, within the last 2 months my vehicle has shut down on the interstate on many occassions back to back. I have had my vehicle in the shop on many occassions. I was told the cause could have been a many of things, till this day it has not been fixed, now im hearing it vould be yhe computer. I dont know but what I do know is im tired of spending money on everything I was told that it could have been N til this day it's still not fixed. I. was put in danger a many of times me N my 4 children's lives were in danger just in the midst of traffic it shuts off, at any instant any given time I can get hit from behind due to the many times it shuts down, the vehicle automatically loses control along when that happens it is very hard to steer the wheel in a way where I can make a complete stop, making it very possible to hit anyone ongoing in other lanes, it has been very dangeroud for me N my children.I just wish this vehicle can ne brought back so that me N Y four children wouldnt be facing danger everytime we enter the vehicle, its just an everyday thing ongoing. I truly want something safe, just hope I dony have to come out of pocket no more than what I already have for the same thing and it hasnt been fixed yet. I dont want it anymore iwant this vehicle off my hands now, its not what I want anymore, me N my children have been placed in much danger because of this vehicle. I am sorry, but I truly thought this vehicle was nice, not anymore!

The car rides smooth on good roads but on rough roads it sounds like everything is falling off underneath of the car. I have had the bushings replaced and tie rods replaced. The front end shop and my mechanic have both tried to find what was making all the noise and banging and they cannot find anything that is loose when it is on the lift. I love the car but the noises are irritating and embarrassing to those that ride with me. Could not get the approx. Date to work, it been going on for several years help!!

We purchased a 2005 Chrysler 300C new in March of 2005, since that time we noticed the car pulls to the right, and over say several months the problem got worse, I replaced to driver side outer tie rod end around August of 2007, then early 2009 the same thing happened to the passenger side, it's April 2011 and I'm about to replace the tie rod end for a second time on the drivers side.
