While driving app 55 mph at app 8pm at night my cars lights and all the dash lights went out and the car completely stalled. i was able to turn on flashers and coast the car to the side of the road. i sat there for several minutes and then the car restarted. fortunately there was no one following behind me. i have been out of town on business and used a company car. upon my return i took my car to our local shop today. they were unable to detect any problems, however shared an article stating more than 150,000 chrysler owners have had similar trouble. they contacted the nearest dodge/chrysler dealer in aberdeen washington who offered no help or information. they could give no reason for the incident. we have not received any recall notice, nor information regarding any possible problems. how should i proceed? i am unable to drive my vehicle for fear this may happen again, and this time i may not be so fortunate. this has created a significant burden and stress. it seems someone should be accountable and that there is a significant liability by not being notified of this significant safety issue. is this an issue i need my attorney to address? thanks in advance for your help.

While picking up my children from school the car failed to start, when i turned the key it made a horrible clanking sound (from the engine), at that point i had no choice but to leave the car there and walk home from school with the kids. i had just driven the car 6 miles from work, and the car gave no prior warning signs of this imminent failure. the following morning i had the car towed to my local mechanic, he later informed me that the valve seat came out of place (walked) and the car will need a new engine block and/or extensive work to repair the problem. he quoted the job to be at $7000, he also explained to me that this is a common problem particularly with the 2006-2008 chrysler/dodge hemi models, which should've been addressed by the manufacture due to the frequency in which this problem was occurring. i have always kept up with all scheduled maintenance and routine oil changes in my car, so i was totally surprise when this happened at 90,000 miles. currently i don't have the financial means to have the car repaired on my own, and i'm asking is there any way that i can be compensated through the manufacturer for this problem?

When my key is turned to the "on" position without fully starting the vehicle, it starts stalling at low speeds and will not start without pressing the gas pedal. this will continue for approximately one week before the vehicle will return to normal performance. by normal performance, i mean it will start without pressing gas pedal and no stalling at low speed. when taking vehicle for routine services, i must inform the technicians not to place key in the "on" position or the problem start all over again. so far, i've had one accident due to this problem.
Vehicle will not shift into gear from park. no warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard, there is nothing indicating there is any issue. pressing the brake does not seem to unlock the shift lock mechanism that would allow me to shift into gear. contacted chrysler group and was informed that although there have been recalls for the same problem in other model years, the 2006 model year is not currently covered. *tr

Car engine stalls after refueling. this has been happening for a year. i just found the nhtsa study on the problem. *tr
I stopped at a stop sign and the car stalled. it started right up, but had a hard time finding drive when i put it into drive. after that it ran fine. this same problem has occurred many times since. it happens randomly with no warning. it seems to happen more often after refueling, but also happens at any fuel tank gauge reading. also the car hesitates at freeway speeds on occasion, but doesn't stall when this happens. i took the car to two dealers and after spending $500 they couldn't fix the problem. i called chrysler and they were no help. my wife won't drive the car and i fear it will stall pulling out into traffic after a stop. after some investigation i have realized that thousands of 2006 300c owners have had the same problem and chrysler is fully aware of this issue. how the dealers can pretend they have never heard of this problem and take money from me to fix the problem with my car, knowing they won't fix it, has to be criminal. safety concerns were never addressed by the dealers or chrysler as well. *tr
The car engine stopped and the brakes, the steering wheel did not work, and almost caused an accident.it happened several times when i turn the car to the left, then it dies in the middle of the curve, especially after filling the gas tank completely. *tr
Engine shut off while driving anywhere from 20-40 mph - or when the car is in idle mode - engine will shut off. sometimes after refueling as well - gas tank was replaced with the warranty issued by chrysler by an authorized chrysler dealer however a day or two later i was back to seeing the same engine shut off issues. i find it hard to believe that this is not taken as a severe safety concern. someone is going to get hurt or killed due to this engine shut off issue - it should be reinvestigated. *tr
After i fill my tank the vehicle will stall over and over. this has happened many times. *tr

The car was filled up with fuel and no more than 2-5 miles from the gas station while driving the engine cut off with no warning while in traffic. was able to restart the engine and continue on and within a mile it stalled out again in traffic. this time the car would not start. the car was pushed to the side of the road. the oil pressure light was also coming on so did not want to push the car and cause further damage. after 45 mins i restarted the car fine and was able to drive 1 mile before it stalled out at a stop sign. again no warning and the car lost all power and you were unable to stop the car easily or turn the wheel since all power was lost. the oil pressure light did come on again but did not occur until after the car engine cut off and all power was lost. this time i checked the oil and the level was fine but i still added an extra quart of oil. then within 5 mins i was able to start the car and drive it the rest of the way 1-2 miles to the dealership. upon arriving at the dealership we checked the error coded. the dealership than changed the oil and did a full inspection and drive of the car and was unable to reproduce the issue i was seeing before going to the dealership. *tr
