What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler 300. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle began to loose power. The contact stated that she pulled over and the vehicle regained power independently. The contact stated that she then saw smoke emerge from the trunk so she immediately pulled the vehicle over and exited. The vehicle became engulfed in flames. The contact was not injured. A fire report was not filed.
Ignition switch caused engine to shut down while driving and caused problems with starting. After three trips to dealer problem was found to be the ignition switch and was replaced. Stalling while driving is a safety issue that should be cause for a recall. Note! The expensive ignition switch was replaced at my cost. I have the repair invoices.
