I was driving and car began to loose acceleration. Car then completely shut down on me in the middle of the road without a cause. Car was towed by a tow driver I know and car hasn't started ever since. Came to realize it's showing codes P0513 for the anti-theft system. I then began to read more about it and it's a manufacturers error. It's a common thing for Dodge and Chrysler's from 2005 to 2010 to shut down for no reason due to anti-theft system.

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!

While driving my car just stalled twice once at a red light and took a while to restart and then when making a left turn on the road it just stalled and again it took a couple of times to restart during irma I went outside to move my Jeep Wrangler to a safe spot and the car would not start. After the hurricane aaa was allowed to come and tow the car to the dealership because it was still under warranty for the Jeep and they informed me that it was the tipm module so I looked this up and realized there is a problem with the tipm and I asked the dealership if there is recall because it happened twice on the Chrysler 300 and they said no so hopefully it will be recalled soon so I can take it to get it fixed my mother who is 91 can not get in my Jeep and uses a walker and now im afraid if I go further out of town to the doctors that car may shutdown on I75 and and cause a real big accident and I'm handicapped and on a fixed income and don't have the money to replace the tipm. This is 2 cars different years and the same thing plz recall the tipm for the models of cars. I will be also reporting my Jeep but it just happened to be under warranty

The shift interlock lever had the return lever spring hook break off. This left the shifter locked in park. Luckily this happened in our driveway at home. I was able to release the shifter however the car is showing the ABS light and traction control lights lit on the instrument panel. Also the seat will not fully adjust and the cruise control no longer works. There is currently a recall (K39) on this item for this year and model car, however I was informed by my dealer that my car does not fall within the build date to qualify for the recall. I have the right year and model and the same problem but my vehicle doesn't qualify. I feel that this recall should be expanded to cover all Chrysler vehicles with this problem.

Drove my car to work in the morning with no problems. After work I started the car and could not shift the gear out of park. I tried several times, turning the car off and on etc. But it would not move. Called the repair shop. They came and removed the shifter assembly to get it to the shop and said they had to replace the entire shift assembly because a small plastic piece was broken inside and they couldn't just replace the piece, it had to be the entire assembly for the cost of $300. No warnings or other issues. After looking the problem up on the internet, seems to be a very common problem with this car make and model. I have also had trouble with this car several times just shutting down or almost shutting off (jerks like you are hit and seems like it is shutting down but then returns to normal) while sitting at a light or a stop sign. Usually it will start back up quickly but it is very dangerous in traffic and I have almost been rear ended 2 times because of it. I took it to the dealership 2 different times complaining about this issue, but they said they couldn't find anything wrong and that the computer system didn't show any problems.

Car was not able to be shifted in gear. I was in a parked status and could not pull the vehicle out of the park position. Aaa was called and they could not tow me because the vehicle could not be towed because they could not get it on the flatbed. Aaa dispatched another truck with a dolly and an ase certified technician who was able to pull the gear lever while pressing down on the brakes to release a plastic pin on the linkage cable that was keeping the leaver from moving.
