What owners wrote

I own a 2006 chrysler 300. Twice yesterday my steering wheel locked up while driving. I could not turn the car in either direction. I had to bring the car to a stop in the middle of traffic, turn the car off and back on and then the steering was fine. This has happened twice in one day and is obviously a defect. This is a major issue for me because if I'm driving on the highway it could cause a serious or fatal accident. I took the car to chrysler and they said they cannot detect a problem.

I was driving down the street when the vehicle just stalled on me. Power steering went out as well ws pretty hard to get to the side of the road. Than I took it to the mechanic to get it checked out and it stalled again while trying to park the vehicle.
