2000 CHRYSLER 300M Complaints

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK MOTOR MAKING LOUD BUZZING NOISE. FAILURE SOON TO FOLLOW. COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS. WHY IS THIS NOT BEONG REPAIRED BY MANUFACTURER?

I OWN A 2000 CHRYSLER 300M FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT, THE PASSANGER REAR SIDE POWER WINDOW WASN'T WORKING AND I FIX IT, THEN RECENTLY BEGINING THIS YEAR I FOUND OUT IT WAN'T MOVING AGAIN? I WONDER WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? AT THE SAME TIME, THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR WINTER 2002 WHILE I WAS DRIVING DURING THE SNOWING NIGHT, THE WINDSHIELD WATER PUMP AMD THE WIPER SUDDENDLY FAIL, AND THIS COULD CAUSE A DANGER DURING WINTER OR RAINING DAY. THEREFORE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS 300M WHETHER A RELIABLE CAR TO HAVE? 2/5/03 THANK YOU

SHIFTING MECHANISM ON 2000 CHRYSLER 300M BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MOVE FROM PARK TO OTHER STICK LOCATIONS. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A CABLE LINKAGE ISSUE THAT IS ADJUSTABLE BUT SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED MECHANIC. FAILURE WOULD RESULT IN INABILITY TO SHIFT CAR.

I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER 300M, PURCHASED SEPTEMBER 2000. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ALLOWS BOTH AN AUTOMATIC OR A MANUAL SHIFT (I'VE NEVER USED THE MANUAL SHIFT). ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, AND THE GEAR SHIFT SHEARED OFF IN MY HAND. WHEREAS NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, I DO BELIEVE THAT HAD THE CAR BEEN IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ONE DOES NOT EXPECT IN A 2-1/2 YEAR OLD CAR FOR THE GEAR SHIFT TO COME OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TS

THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THREE OF FOUR DOORS ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER 300M (43,300 MILES) HAS SHRUNK AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED SEVERAL CONSUMER WEBSITES AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OR CAN BE INVESTIGATED.

NOT ABLE TO TOTALLY LOCK ALL DOORS. SYSTEM IS ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLED. VERY NOISY WHEN AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED AT 15 MPH. NECESSARY TO DEACTIVATE, THUS HAVING TO MANUALLY LOCK DOORS. BECAUSE THIS WAS A STANDARD OPTION, IT SHOULD WORK FOR REASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME. WHEN ORDERING REPLACEMENT PART, WAS INFORMED OF A TWO WEEK WAIT BECAUSE OF LOCAL BACK ORDER ON LIKE PART, INDICATING MANY OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS WAS SECOND FAILURE. FIRST TIME WAS ON DRIVER FRONT DOOR, SECOND TIME WAS ON PASSENGER FRONT DOOR. CAN THE BACK DOORS BE FAR BEHIND? DT

CONSUMER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG HOUSING IS CRACKING AND THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO BE DEFECTIVE. DEALER NOTIFIED. TS

CONSUMER STATES WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE VEHICLE KEPT GOING STRAIGHT. PLEASE ADD ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS

WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN, THE GLARE OF THE REFLECTION OF THE LEATHER DASHBOARD ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, THIS REFLECTION COVERS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, THE COLOR PLUS THE GRAIN OF THE LEATHER REFELECTION ON THE WINDSHILED DISTORTS THE CONSUMERS VISION, CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT NUMEROUS DAHSBOARDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH NO SUCCESS.*JB

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AND NO WARNING THERE IS A TERRIBLE GLARE COMING FORM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND IT IS DISTRACTING THE CONSUMER VISIBILITY. NLM
