What owners wrote
I was stopped & just put it into drive from park & the car just took off. I put my foot on the brake but it didn't stop right away. The car is totaled. The vehicle did property damage.
While attempting to make a right turn into a shopping mall the power steering on my 1999 chrysler 300m went out.(note: this is the first time this had happened) I had to use most of my strength to complete the turn. I pulled into a nearby parking space with the same difficulty and ran my errand. When I re-entered the car the steering was back to normal until I got to my house about 5 minutes later when the power steering again went out. I left the car parked until the next morning.
