Description of the problem | A week ago i was driving and my car stalled out and dash lights came on and the steering wheel locked up and all i could do was to let it come to a stop after trying to steer it failed. Car would not start at all, it only made a slight noise when trying to turn the ignition switch, but went totally dead. Had it towed home and checked out by a mechanic. Was told that my spark plugs were burned out and the oil pump failed, thenhad spark plugs replaced, thats when it started and stopped for good. That's when i was told about the oil pump and he tried turning the front part of the motor it would not turn, he then told me i need a motor. I've taken good care of my car and have proof. I've seen many complaints about this happening to the chrysler 300's. I'm lucky that i didn't get hurt or in a bad wreck. Is chrysler going to help their customers with this problem or wait till someone is seriously injured or killed. I'm just on social security and can't afford to have it repaired or replaced. I bought this car brand new, now i'm stranded and can't afford to buy a car. They need to help their customers. I was driving the car and was about to get onto the freeway. I also been having coolant leaking and car ran hot several times, couldn't find where the coolant leak was, had to check every other day and add more coolant. No coolant was on the ground under the car. Became hard to start and had me stranded on the side of the road and freeway several times and had to wait for it to cool off before checking and adding more coolant, and waited awhile longer before starting it to drive home. Chr chrysler need to buy this car back. It's been taken care of, looks new, has no dents and no rust, inside is clean, no damage, only little wear. I'm the only owner. |
