2005 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED WE HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PLUS A RECURRENT AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WHICH IS LEASED AND USED BY OUR MAYOR HAS BEEN BACK FOR THE SAME AIR BAG LIGHT A MINIMUM OF 8 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT THE DEALER AGAIN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE EVEN TAKEN IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WITH THE SAME RESULTS.THIS VEHICLE IS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. *AK

HORN IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WORK, ONLY A SMALL AREA SEEMS TO WORK. IN AN EMERGENCY IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS "SPOT". *NM

2005 CHRYSLER 300C/DODGE MAGNUM, HORN BUTTON IN STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO OPERATE ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. HORN ALSO DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT KEY IN AND ENGINE RUNNING.*AK

THE HORN BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2005 CHRYLER 300C REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO OPERATE. DURING SEVERAL "EVENTS" OVER THE FEW MONTHS I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPERATE THE HORN ON THE FIRST PRESS OF THE BUTTON. IT IS SIMPLY USELESS AS A TIMELY WARNING DEVICE. *AK

THE HORN IS VERY HARD TO BLOW, AND WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE THE HORN WON'T BLOW AT ALL. . CONSUMER IS CONCERNED IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY HE CANNOT USE THE HORN TO GET HELP.*AK.....THE THICK VINYL/RUBBER HORN PAD HAS SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW. ESSENTIALLY, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS ON THE ENTIR EPAD WHERE THE HORN ACTIVATES. IT IS POORLY DESIGNED. *AK

CHRYSLER 300C 2005 HORN DIFFICULT TO OPERATE IN EMERGENCY SITUATION - MUST TRY PRESSING IN SEVERAL SPOTS - THERE IS NO SPECIFIC HORN OPERATING MARKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK

HORN REQUIRES EXTENSIVE PRESSURE TO OPERATE IN "KEY" LOCATIONS ON STEERING WHEEL. OFTEN, HORN DOES NOT OPERATE IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THIS IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE 1995 CHEVY IMPALA SS HORN PROBLEM DUE TO AIRBAG PLACEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED NOW, OTHERWISE THERE WILL SURELY BE ACCIDENTS WHICH WERE AVOIDABLE IF THE HORN OPERATED PROPERLY.*AK

I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER 300 ON 11/03/04 AND EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE VEHICLES LIGHTS BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. CALLED GROGAN DEALERSHIP ON 11/9/04 TO ISSUE THE COMPLAINT. WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 11/30/04 AND WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 12/02/04 WITH AN INVOICE STATING THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS SINCE THEN ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERN RELATED TO THIS VEHICLES LIGHTS FLICKERING CONTINUOUSLY. THEN ON 12/17/04 THE VEHICLES LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH AN INJURY. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN AN INJURY AND SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR INDIVIDUALS IN THE VEHICLE AND ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND THE DEALERSHIP AND NEITHER ARE OWNING UP TO THE SAFETY CONCERN. NEGLECT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN AND HAVE BEEN BLESSED THAT THEY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS FROM SOMEONE'S NEGLECT. AS I CAN SEE FROM THIS WEBSITE THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT JUST HAVEN'T SURFACED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IS SITTING AT A TOWING LOT AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR CHRYSLER HAVE TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE TOWED AND WORKED ON FOR CORRECTION. MEANWHILE, I AM SITTING WITHOUT A VEHICLE. ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME, WE NEED TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

MY CHRYSLER 300 HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR A FRONT ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DURING FIRST VISIT I WAS TOLD ALIGNMENT CHECKS OK, THEY ALL PULL TO THE RIGHT. DURING SECOND VISIT DEALER INSTALLED CHRYSLER BULLETIN (OFF SET BOLTS) TO CORRECT LEFT LEAD PROBLEM. ALIGNMENT IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLS TO RIGHT. DURING THIRD VISIT DEALER TOLD ME EVERTHING CHECKS OK NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE AND THE CAR PULLS RIGHT OR LEFT BECAUSE OF THE CROWN IN THE ROAD (WHICH IS BULL). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION BECAUSE CONSTANCE PRESSURE MUST BE KEPT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING INTO THE RIGHT FREEWAY LANES. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO REPLACE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED/DEFECTIVE FRONT END COMPONENTS. *AK

TWO DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH OFF AND ON INTERMITTENTLY. HAPPENS ON INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BOTHERSOME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER, BUT FOR THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THEY ARE WAITING UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDES THEM WITH A FIX. MEANWHILE, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.*AK
