This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving and car began to loose acceleration. Car then completely shut down on me in the middle of the road without a cause. Car was towed by a tow driver I know and car hasn't started ever since. Came to realize it's showing codes P0513 for the anti-theft system. I then began to read more about it and it's a manufacturers error. It's a common thing for Dodge and Chrysler's from 2005 to 2010 to shut down for no reason due to anti-theft system.
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300C. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. In addition, while the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact had the vehicle towed home. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
My vehicle brakes did not work & other problems with the vehicle & when I asked the dealer if there was recalls on anything they said no & I know there was some because a friend of mine has the same vehicle.
2007 Chrysler 300C - experienced three (3) separate incidents of accelerator failure. Accelerator would not functioning when pressed down. All three incidents occurred in cold weather spread out over 18 month time span. Engine was still running but accelerator would not function. Chrysler dealer checked out vehicle but could not find an error code, was unable to duplicate problem and ended up taking no corrective action. Each time I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off and restart the engine to clear the problem. The car worked fine again after restarting. Fortunately each incident occurred at low speed and was controllable. Problem would be very serious if it occur during attempt to accelerate into high speed traffic such as an interstate on ramp.

The contact did not notice any differences prior to the failure. The vehicle has been serviced by the dealer for the failure. The current mileage was 10,000 and failure mileage was 8,000.
