What owners wrote

Vehicle was parked in garage. Had been driven home at 11:30p.m. And woke up to fire in the garage at 1a.m. Entire home and contents were lost. We had to jump from 2nd story windows to escape our home. Fire department and fire marshals felt that fire began in the garage and found it undetermined, but told us that they felt strongly that it was the vehicle. We contacted our insurance company with info we found online that stated the braking problem was being recalled.

November 2010 Fire

Bought chrysler 300 srt8 late august 2005. Complained about brake squeal and dust/excessive brake dust. Took car in for warranty service with 17,000 miles. Only to be advised that there was a technical service bulletin issued, but if car not brought in before 12,000 miles/12 months the repair will be approx. $865 for brake pads and resurfacing rotors. I am unable to find tech bulletin referred to.
