What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2013 chrysler 300. While driving 53 MPH, the vehicle lost power without warning and resumed independently; however, the brakes failed to respond without warning. As a result, the contact crashed into a cement barrier, rolled over, and landed in a ditch. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact and the front and rear seat passengers sustained facial lacerations and back injuries that required medical attention.
I wasn't driving my vehicle on a busy highway. The vehicles electrical system started going crazy. Heat turned on, windshield wipers turned on, blinkers going off, radio turned off. Power steering, gas and brakes stopped working. Was stuck in the middle of a busy highway because of this and lucky I did not get hit because of the spot I was in. I got the car towed and sent to a mechanic. It was the alternator that went bad and it burned the battery so had to get that replaces as well.
