Vehicle was parked in garage. Had been driven home at 11:30P.M. and woke up to fire in the garage at 1A.M. entire home and contents were lost. We had to jump from 2nd story windows to escape our home. Fire department and fire marshals felt that fire began in the garage and found it undetermined, but told us that they felt strongly that it was the vehicle. We contacted our insurance company with info we found online that stated the braking problem was being recalled. They stated that they had no information to pursue. Car was also a total loss. Is there anything more we can do to find out why this recall #06V149000 was never sent to us? had we known we would have parked the vehicle away from our home!!!! and would have gladly taken it in for repair that was needed.

2006 Chrysler 300. Consumer writes in regards to rear brake tubes recall notice. The consumer stated the rear brake system was inspected a few years ago, and no problem was found. In August of 2013, the brakes failed. However, the consumer was charged and is now seeking reimbursement due to the recall.
5 speed auto transmission was stuck in park in my driveway one morning when I got in the car. I called orr Chrysler Dodge and came and got it and charged me $364 + to repair the problem. This is a common problem with these vehicles. I read about it on the internet. Long before having the problem. Why is Chrysler not recalling this problem. This is terrible service. I have been a Chrysler person my entire life but this is and bad rotors at 15,000 miles have caused me to rethink the whole thing.
Brake rotors became warped about 17000 miles then got worse and worse. I replaced the tires at about 30,000 and had the pads checked. The pads were ceramic type and had zero wear. The rotors are a problem. My 05 Dodge 4X4 has the same problem and it only has 23000 miles. Chrysler is buying bad rotors!!!!!!

On June 24, 2005, I purchased a new 2006 Chrysler 300C srt8. I currently have 1972 miles on my vehicle. I have been having a problem with the braking performance of my vehicle that has not been resolved after several repair attempts. The vehicle was purchased for the purpose of enjoyment and my expectations are not being met. Upon application of the brakes, my vehicle makes a very loud squeaking sound that lessens the value of the vehicle and the implied comfort that a reasonable person should expect from his/her vehicle. In accordance with my service manual, on numerous occasions, I have promptly taken the vehicle to the local Chrysler service department and requested that the situation be corrected. My requests for correction have not been met. The service dealer has informed me that they are aware of the problem but have not done anything to correct it. They have stated that the rotors may be too small and need to be changed.
