What owners wrote
Driving 60 miles per hour on a houston,texas crowded and busy freeway. My chrysler 300 caught on fire immediately followed by thick black smoke and a strong smell of burning of burning plastic. The car caused cars to come to a complete stop on a 5 lane freeway because of the thick smoke. My steering wheel locked so loss of steering,brakes became mushy. Right before the loud boom fire and smoke.
When driving my car there was no indication from the panel that there was a problem; car completely shut off motor over heated, car does not run at all. The panel of the car did not show anything at all car could have easily caught on fire with me locked in it failure of the system of the vehicle.
