What owners wrote
On may 31, 2019 I was parking my 2012 chrysler 300 in front of a convenience store.. As I was about to put the car in park it car accelerated on its own and entered the store through the plate glass window. The vehicle stopped due to an object in its way. The airbags never deployed.
I was entering the freeway and at about 45 MPH the car just stalled dropping speed to about 15 MPH so I released the gas pedal and started to gain speed when I was going to merge onto the first lane at about 50 MPH the car stalled again stopping the traffic behind me. I almost drove off the freeway to avoid the cars behind me. Thats the scariest but like a month ago it did the same thing at a stop light it just wouldn't respond when I tried to take off so I had to turn it off and start it again.
