| We have 5 chrysler 300's used for transporting our residents in and around our community 4 out of 5 of these vehicles have had the same issue. the cooling system fan blades come apart and the shrouds of the fan go thru the radiator causing immediate leakage of all coolant and destroying the radiator. as of date 4/30/12 chrysler/dodge has yet to recall this defect and is not covered under warranty. this is obviously a problem with this year, model and needs to recalled on the 300's and the dodge chargers. | |||

| My 2008 chrysler 300 has lost power in the middle of the road while driving at least 4 times. after the third incident, i took the car in, the service employees at the dealership told me there was nothing wrong. then it happened again. in all incidents, the ignition had to be turned to off, then on again to start. in the last instance, the rpm went way up to 4000 and stayed there even though speeding was not involved. we had to pull off the freeway and turn the car off, then on again. then it went back to normal. i took the car in again last week, and again, they said there was nothing wrong. luckily we have not been involved in accidents due to this happening. i just hope that the next time, which i'm sure there will be a next time, i don't get into an accident, especially with my kids in car. *tr | |||
