MY CAR A CHRYSLER 300C WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM SINCE 2005.....WHY HAS CHRYSLER NOT REPAIR THIS PROBLEM?????? *TR

I HAVE ALSO PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SHIFTED!! ANOTHER COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT WHEN DRIVING IN TOWN AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THE FUEL SAVER MODE THEIR IS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION BETWEEN 45 AND 52 KILOMETRES PER HOUR!! THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IF IT IS NOT IN THE FUEL SAVER MODE OR WHEN YOU MANUALLY SHIFT IT INTO 4!! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THE PRESENT MOMENT BUT TO GET BACK TO THEM IF IT GETS ANY WORSE!! I HAVE 76000KMS ON MY CAR NOW AND THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AROUND 70000 KMS!! I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I KEEP MY DEALER INFORMED OF ANY PROBLEMS SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OFF!! *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300. WHEN I AM PUSHING ON THE GAS IT HESITATES ON GOING, SOMETIMES IT WILL HESITATE FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN JERK HARD. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE! IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I GOT THE CAR AND IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT NOW. WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALER ALWAYS SAID IT WAS NO PROBLEM, NOW THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO THE TORQUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO UPDATED CODES AND THAT DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND I SHOULD NOT BE DEALING WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR

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. *TR

ON 11/25/09, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300C AWD, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SLIP, AND THE FRONT END FELT OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING, AND I WAS VERY SCARED. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40 MPH, AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT LANE. I STILL DID NOT FEEL SAFE, AND, GIVEN THE VEHICLE HISTORY AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE A NEWBORN AT HOME, I DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE ON 07/23/07 THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, IT WAS POSITIONED AT 10 O'CLOCK. ON 09/20/07, WITH 2163 MILES, THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE REPOSITIONED, AND THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 11/28/07 WITH 5130 MILES, AGAIN THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, AND AGAIN THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 01/25/08 WITH 6863 MILES, YET AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE "CRADLE NEEDED TO BE SHIFTED" AND THEY ADJUSTED THE CRADLE. PER THE REP, DEALER REPLACED 2 FRONT TIRES, DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. ON 06/26/09, WITH 29002 MILES, ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. DEALER FOUND "PLAY IN INNER TIE/RODS", REPLACED STEERING RACK, AND ALIGNED. I REQUESTED 2 MORE TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR, I WAS TOLD TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND I WILL NOT GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN. *TR

WAS OK, BY THE WAY, WE WERE ON CANADA 1 AND HAD TO GET BACK TO THE US. ALMOST GOT HOME AND IT ALL STARTED AGAIN. *TR
