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.

MY CHRYSLER 300C CONSTANTLY SMELL LIKE FUEL. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WHO CLAIMS HE DIDN'T SMELL ANYTHING. NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I STILL SMELL FUEL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER EXPERTS ARE NOT HELPING THE SITUATION. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN HELP ME GET IT RESOLVED. I AM NOT ALONE. YOU ANGEL THE FUEL WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL OR NOT. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT, OUR 09' CHRYSLER 300 COMPLETELY SHUTOFF UNEXPECTEDLY. ENGINE SHUTOFF, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES...AND WORST OF ALL, ALL LIGHTS SHUTOFF! I DRIFT OFF INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE (LUCKILY MINIMAL TRAFFIC) AND STOP. PUT IN IN PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE...NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO ISSUES, AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. CONTINUE ON WITH LIFE... NOW A WHILE LATER, I'M DRIVING AROUND A TIGHT ROUNDABOUT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. AND IT HAPPENS AGAIN! LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN A TURN AT LOW SPEED, AND THE WHEEL GETS RIPPED OUT OF MY HAND AS THE CAR DRIVES UP OVER THE CURBS BEFORE I CAN STOP WITH THE NOW NON-POWERED BRAKES ON THE CAR. MINIMAL DAMAGE TO VEHICLE
