2005 Chrysler 300 complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILURE, A/C FAILURE, AM/FM STEREO CD PLAYER FAILURE, SEAT BELT/AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CAR SITS TOO LOW ON THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ALTER THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM THIS IS JUST THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. WHILE GETTING OFF OF A TURN PIKE THERE WAS A TURTLE COMING ACROSS THE ROAD BUT IT WAS BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE BOTTOM OF HIS CAR, THE VEHICLE SCRAPPED OVER THE TURTLE. AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IT WAS RAINING THE CONSUMER WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE CAR IN FRONT RAN OVER SOMETHING AND HE HIT IT AND IT WEDGED UNDER HIS CAR HE COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT HE HAD TO DRIVE A QUARTER MILE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND HE COULD NOT GET UNDER THE CAR SO HE HIT IT WITH A GOLF CLUB AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A HARD HAT THAT GOT STUCK. *JB

2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING PURCHASED ON 11/4/2004 BEGAN MAKING A LOUD MOANING, STRAINING NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON, THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATING SENSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE. DURING A/C USE, THE ENGINE HAS AN IRREGULAR IDLE TO AN ALMOST STALL WHEN MAKING TURNS DURING BACKING AND FORWARD MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN SAN DIEGO, CA AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOTICE THIS STRANGE, ONGOING PROGRESSIVE CONDITION BUT SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN NO MANUFACTURER RECALL. THIS CONDITION IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS VERY ANNOYING CONDITION UNTIL I READ AN ALMOST IDENTICAL COMPLAINT FROM A CONSUMER IN MO. *NM

2005 CHRYSLER 300M/C, ENGINE FAILS AFTER GASOLINE TANK IS FILLED. HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 30 DAYS. DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CAR HAS PRESENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR MORE THAN A WEEK, AND THEY ADVISED THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACED THE GAS TANK.

DT: CONTACT PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED EDITION SEDAN ON 7-27-05. HE DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY HIS WIFE PARKED VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT WHERE SHE WORKED. 30 MINUTES LATER, THE MANAGER OF THE BUILDING CALLED CONTACT WIFE'S OFFICE INFORMING HER THERE WAS A CAR ON FIRE IN THE PARKING LOT. FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED, AS WELL AS 2 OR 3 OTHER CARS WERE DAMAGED. HE CONTACTED DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THE DEALER AGREED TO GIVE CONTACT A LOANER VEHICLE. CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT. CONTACT HAD PICTURES OF THE CAR. HE SAID THAT DEALER INSTALLED A PASSIVE ALARM SYSTEM WITH AN IGNITION KILL, A REMOTE START FEATURE, COULD START THE CAR WITHOUT THE KEY. A LO-JACK ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED. ALSO, THE CAR INCLUDED A NAVIGATION SYSTEM, POWER ADJUSTED GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS, SELF SEALING TIRES, AND SIDE/CURTAIN AIR BAGS . HE PURCHASED A AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 7 YEARS,100,00 MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER. *AK

DT: CONSUMER PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. AT 3,500 MILES THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE SIDEWALL. THE JACK THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE DID NOT HOLD IT. DEALERSHIP STATED THE TIRES WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TIRE DEALER STATED IT WOULD HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED, AND IF IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THERE WERE NO HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON UNTIL THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THEN, IT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THIS WAS A BBRIDGESTONE TIRE WHICH CAME WITH THE VEHICLE. *AK

DT: CONTACT WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE INSPECTION DONE AND THE CAR. HOWEVER,IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THEIR CONDITION. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OWNER'S MANUAL ADVISED THE ROTATION TIRES EVERY 3,000 MILES UP TO 72 MONTHS. SHE HAS DONE THAT, BUT THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT. SHE CALLED CONTINENTAL TO GET THE TIRES FROM THE WAREHOUSE. THE WARE HOUSE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE CONTINENTAL, CONTOURS PLUS TIRES. SHE PLACED AN ORDER FOR NEW TIRES, BUT IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WILL BE IN. SHE TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT CONTINENTAL, AND HE TOLD HER THE TIRES WERE GOOD UNTIL 60,000 MILES. HER CAR HAD 20,000 MILES. SHE FELT THAT PEOPLE WERE BEING MISLEAD BY OWNER'S MANUAL AS TO HOW LONG TIRES WILL LAST.*AK

SOMETIMES, MY '300 TOURING' (3.5 LITER HO V6) JUST 'LUNGES' FORWARD WHILE I'M STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (ABOUT EIGHT TIMES NOW) WHETHER MY CAR IS 'COLD' AND/OR AFTER IT HAS 'WARMED-UP' FOR A WHILE. SOMETIMES, EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY DEPRESSED, IT'LL STILL 'LUNGE' FORWARD...FEELING AS IF MY CAR WILL FLY RIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. ON 04/04/05, WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER CAR, MY CAR 'LUNGED' FORWARD ONCE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME CAUSING ME TO REAR-END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME...CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR, AS WELL AS TO THE REAR OF THE OTHER. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I WAS ACTUALLY ENROUTE TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER TO HAVE A 'RECALL NOTICE' TAKEN CARE OF (FOR INAPPROPRIATE GAUGE CLUSTER READINGS). PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I HAD ADVISED MY DEALER ABOUT THE POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR'S COMPLICATED ELECTRONICS/COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS IN FACT ACTUALLY JUST TRYING TO GET ACCUSTOMED TO THE WAY THAT I DRIVE, AND THAT IT WOULD ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. ON THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT AND DURING SUBSEQUENT VISITS, I ALSO HAD MY DEALER TRY TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF AND RECTIFY THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM; HOWEVER, EACH TIME, I WAS ADVISED THAT EITHER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOR HAVE THEY HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. I HAVE READ ON SOME CHRYSLER 300 INTERNET FORUMS, THAT SOME OTHERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO, I'M NOW SURE THAT MY

DAY AFTER PURCHASE NOTICED LOAD ROAR AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING WHEN THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE AIR CONDITION KICKED ON AND OFF, CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO KEEP DRIVING MAYBE IT WILL WORK ITSELF OUT, MAYBE A KINK. I AM NOW ON MY FOURTH VISIT AND THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSING. THE VEHICLE NOW STUTTERS AND ALMOST DIES EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR KICKS ON AND OFF. THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN CRYSTAL CITY, MO IS STILL FIGURING OUT HOW TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM, WHICH STARTED THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE.

FAILURE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, AND WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *NM

DT: CONTACT STATES HE BOUGHT A NEW 2005 CHRYSLER 300 M TOURING ON APPROXIMATELY 1-04. ON 6-23-05 HE TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER WHERE HE BOUGHT IT;(SPARSEST CHRYSLER) TO LET THEM FIX A PROBLEM HE WAS HAVING WITH THE BUTTON THAT ALLOWS HIM TO SEE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE THE CAR AND ALSO ALLOWS HIM TO SEE THE MILEAGE HE HAS DRIVEN. THE BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK; SO HE ASKED THE DEALER TO FIX IT. ON THE SAME DAY, HE GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND HE NOTICED IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING BUT AFTER A WHILE IT DID START TO WORK. ON 7-13-05 WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN HIS GARAGE, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. HE IS NOT SURE WHERE THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM BUT HE DID SAY THE CAR HAS A BIG HOLE IN THE DASH. HE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD HIM THEY WOULD HAVE TO INVESTIGATE IT. HIS INSURANCE ADJUSTER HAS LOOKED AT IT AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THE ADJUSTER ALSO GAVE HIM A RECALL #04V334000 .THE RECALL APPLIES TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; BATTERY CABLES. THE DEALER DENIED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE FIRE.*AK

WHEELS ON CHRYSLER 300C ARE CORRODING AND PROTECTIVE COATING IS PEELING. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ADMITS PROBLEM BUT BELIEVES IT RELATED TO CORROSIVE CARWASHES DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WASH MY CAR WITH WATER. AS CORROSION CONTINUES IT WILL LIKELY COMPROMISE THE INTEGRITY OF THE WHEELS.

DT: CONSUMER STATES THAT THERE IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE AIR BAG DISBURSEMENT MECHANISM. THE CLOCK SPRING HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, AND THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE LIGHT BEING ON CAUSES THE AIRBAGS NOT TO WORK. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON EVERY TIME THE CLOCK SPRING HAS BEEN REPLACED.*AK THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE UNDER WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MATERIAL WAS OF POOR QUALITY. *JB

LEADS TO THE RIGHT. APPEARS TO BE UNCORRECTABLE?

2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING. EACH TIME THE DRIVE SHAFT ENGAGES THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAREND. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED, 4/19/04...

2005 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING SEDAN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH NO OPERATOR ACTION WHILE TRAVELING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS ACCIDENTS EXIST IF THIS IS A GENERIC PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR.

THE RIM OF MY CHRYSLER 300C CAR HAS CRACKED WITH NO APPARENT IMPACT. THE CRACK THEN MAKES THE TIRE LOSE PRESSURE. THIS HAPPENED NOT ON ONLY 1 WHEEL BUT ON 2 WHEELS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. HAD TO REPLACE THE RIMS BOTH TIMES.

PLEASE SEE MY DETAILED LETTER WITH MY FAX

MY CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL OF THE 2005 300S DO THAT. IF I WANT TO SEE IF AN ALIGNMENT WILL CORRECT IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF.

THE FLOORS IN THE FRONT ARE NOT SOLID UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. THERE'S NO "BOTTOM". THERE'S 7" OF SPACE BETWEEN THE CARPET AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT'S THE WAY THE CAR WAS MADE AND THEY ARE NOT SURE OF WHY IT WAS DESIGNED LIKE THAT.

MY CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART IT. JUST MINUTES LATER I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND TURNING LEFT AND THE CAR STALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME AWAY.

DT: CONTACT STATES VEHICLE IS STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A SERVICE DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT HAS YET TO FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK

DT: THE CAR HAS BEEN IN REPAIR SHOP 7 TIMES FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON. DEALER CLAIMED AIR BAG LIGHT WAS FIXED. BUT AS SOON AS THE CONSUMER LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DEALERSHIP KEEPS PUTTING THE CONSUMER ON HOLD, AND WILL NOT CALL BACK. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. OWNER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE HE BOUGHT IT. ALSO, BRAKES HAVE A BEEN A PROBLEM , AS WELL AS THE SUN ROOF. *AK

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES SPEEDOMETER GOES FROM 65 TO 40 ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND STAYS ON DATES 2/24/05 4/1/25 4/11/05 4/25/05 THE DEALER WANTED THE CONSUMER TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT DETERMINING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE ONLY THE THING THAT THEY WERE WILLING TO DO WAS CHANGE THE SPARKS PLUGS. *JB THERE WAS ALSO A WHISTLING NOISE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REMOVED AN RE-INSTALLED. *SC THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS *JB

DT: WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STRUCK A DEER WITH A MINOR IMPACT TO LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR BROKE AND DUMPED POWER STEERING FLUID OUT, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. CONSUMER ORDERED A NEW RESERVOIR, AND FIXED BODY DAMAGE. CHRYSLER, 300, 2005.*AK

DT; CONSUMER BOUGHT A CHRYSLER 300 MODEL YEAR 2005. WHEN DRIVING FORWARD AT 5 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR TURNS OFF, ALSO WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE IT TURNS OFF. EVERYTHING GOES OFF EVEN THE LIGHTS. AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, IT STARTS AGAIN BUT DOES NOT TURN OFF. IN A TIME LAPSE OF 1 WEEK IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APRIL 9, 2005 AND IT IS STILL THERE. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER WAS TOLD TO COME AND PICK UP THE CAR. CONSUMER FEELS HE/SHE IS RISKING HIS/HER LIFE AND IS AFRAID TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP. *TT

2006 CHRYSLER 300C WITH 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINE, 1,500 MILES ON ODOMETER. STALLS AND WILL/OR VERY DIFFICULT TO RE-START. STALLED WHILE DRIVING WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. CAR AT DEALER NOW IN PORT HURON, MI. TOLD BY DEALER THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT HAVE FIX FOR "COMPUTER PROBLEM" AND THAT COMPUTER WILL BE PULLED FROM VEHICLE AND SENT TO CHRYSLER ENGINEERING FOR EVALUATION; NOT SURE WHEN CAR WILL BE FIXED. DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCER. STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WITH TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, STEERING AND BRAKES.

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AUG. 2004, AND HAS BEEN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND RIDING LIKE A SMALL PICKUP TRUCK[ ROUGH ] EVER SINCE AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HAS BEEN ALIGNED 3TIMES, ONCE BY A NON CHRYSLER SHOP IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A MFG. AREA DISTICT SERV. MGR AND A CHRYSLER ENGINEER BOTH WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEGE THE PROBLEM FULLY TTHIS CONDITION MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND UNSAFE TO OPERATE IN THE RAIN AND SNOW . CHRYSLER SEEMS UNWILLING AND/OR UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM . ARE WE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE DEFECTS?

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. SER

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

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON OCCASSIOALLY.

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

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

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

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

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 IMMEDI

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

THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ON . THE DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB
