2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

THE VEHICLEWAS BROUGHT TO FREEHOLD CHRYSLER FOR SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, HESITATION, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLDING COMING OFF, TRUNK LATCH BROKEN AND CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. FREEHOLD CHRYSLER STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AND FOUND NO CODES AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AT A COST TO ME OF $95.00,MOLDING AND TRUNK LATCH WAS REPLACED. WE THEN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN FOR PULLING TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER AND AGAIN THE TOLD US IT WAS FIXED.THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PULLING AS MUCH BUT STILL WAS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WAS RED LINING, NOT SHIFTING AND STALLING ON HER. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO EATONTOWN CHRYSLER IN WHICH THEY FOUND A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID TO BE BAD AND REPLACED IT. WE THEN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS REAR WINDOW NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AND AIR BAG LIGHT SOMETIMES FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AGAIN HESITATION WHEN STATING FROM STOP. ALSO THE MOON ROOF INTERIOR SHADE OPENS TO ABOUT AN INCH AFTER DRIVING TO VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WE CONTACTED FREEHOLD CHRYSLER ABOUT THESE PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 3, 2005. NOW ITS MAY 8TH AND WE HAVE APPROX. 20,000 ON THE VEHICLE AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED BASED ON A SERVICE BULLETIN AND AT NO COST TO US, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID $95.00 ORIGINALLY, AND THE REST OF THE PROBLEMS CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP. SERVICE CENTER AT 18009921997 AND SPOKE TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN REFERENCE TO THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY COULD DO.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 WITH THE HEMI MOTOR THRU MY SUBDIVISION AT 25MI PER HOUR THE RACK-N-PINION BROKE AND THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE, CAUSING A BADLY BENT RIM, THAT CAUSED THE BOLTS UNDER THE CAR TO BECOME SHEARED OFF, CAUSING A ACCIDENT. JUST AND FYI I PURCHASED THE CAR 12/04 AND THE PARTS BROKE OFF ON 3/19/2005

CUPPING OF FRONT TIRES ON 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED AT 11,000 MILES -- CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF LACK OF TIRE ROTATION EVERY 3,000 MILES. I ROTATED A TIRES T 6,000 MILES. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO CUPPING ON REAR TIRES. THEY NOT REPLACED, PROBLEM NOT RESOLVED/CORRECTED.*AK

THIS VEHICLE (AS I UNDERSTAND, THIS AND MAY OTHERS) IS EXPERIENCING A PULL TO RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS HAD THE TSB (CAMB. BOLT) PERFORMED 2 TIMES. PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM RIGHT FROM THE BEGINING...NOW WE ARE AT THE END OF APRIL AND IT IS NOT FIXED. WE HAVE HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED FOR WEAR (AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALIGNMENT) THIS VEHICLE'S PRODUCTION DATE IS VERY EARLY. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS SINCE FIXED THE PROBLEM ON NEWER 300'S BEING PRODUCED....BUT CAN SEEM TO FIX THE OLDER ONES. AT THIS POINT I AM QUESTIONING WHETHER THIS CAN BE REPAIRED.*AK

THE NEW 300'S ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE PEDAL TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE DOOR OPENING. WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED IF YOU TOUCH, BRUSH OR NUDGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL IT SETS THE SENSOR AS IF THE BRAKE HAS BEEN SET. THE MANUFACTORER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET, THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRAKE AND THAT THE SENSOR IS VERY TOUCHY. AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. THEY CAN NOT BE SURE IF THE VEHICLE WILL REACT IN ANYWAY WHILE DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS SINCE THE SENSOR IS TELLING THE BRAIN THAT THE BRAKE IS SET.*AK

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 MADE IN AUGUST OF 2004. IT HAS AN ISSUE, AS MANY OF THESE AND DODGE MAGNUMS DO, WITH PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO! MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS! MY CAR KEEP SWIRVING RIGHT AND I KEEP HAVING TO PULL IT BACK. THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING MY EXCUSES AND CHRYSLER IS DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM! IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 2ND, 2005!*AK

2005 CHRYSLER 300 EXPERIENCING SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH STEERING.*MR DURING THE SUB ZERO TEMPERATURES THIS WINTER, THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WOULD FREEZE. THE LOWER THE TEMPERATURE WOULD DROP THE HARDER THE VEHICLE BECAME TO STEER. THE DEALER SHOWED THE CONSUMER A SERVICE BULLETIN OUTLINING THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION. *JB

MY CHRYSLER 300 HAS 7000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT PROBLEM,CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT SHOP SAYS IT IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE CROWN IN THE ROAD ( I WAS BORN AT NIGHT BUT NOT LAST NIGHT ) COME ON CHRYSLER YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER EXCUSE THAN THAT. THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO FIX THIS. ALL DEALERS ARE BEING TOLD TO USE THIS EXCUSE ,ABOUT THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE CROWN OR IT IS A HECK OF A COINCEDENCE THAT THIS COMPLAINT KEEPS COMING UP.*AK

CONSUMER SEVERELY BURNED BY SEAT HEATER IN CHRYSLER 300C 2005. *BF THE CONSUMER IS A PARAPLEGIC AND COULD NOT FEEL THE SEAT HEATER WHEN IT WAS INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED. LAWYER ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER *JB

WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK UPDATED 12/14/2005. THE SUNROOF SHATTERED WHEN THE CONSUMER CLOSED HIS DOOR. THE DEALER CLAIMED THIS OCCURRED BECAUSE THE GLASS WAS BINDING IN THE TRACK. THE HEADLINER WAS COMING DOWN IN THE REAR. . *NM
