I OWN A 2001 CHRYSLER 300M WHICH I PURCHASED NEW A CARMAX CHRYSLER, JEEP DEALERSHIP HERE IN GEORGIA. I HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE TRIED TO GET REPAIRED OR COMPLIED WITH BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. 1. I READ ABOUT AND HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FRONT SEAT RECLINER ASSEMBLY SO I INQUIRED WITH THE DEALER AS TO WHEN I COULD BRING THE CAR IN FOR COMPLIANCE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER WHEN TO BRING IT IN. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER TO THIS DATE ON ANY RECALLS. 2. THE CAR HAS 62,000 + MILES ON IT NOW BUT OVER THE PAST 3YRS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DELIVERING IT TO THE DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE. ONCE THEY REPLACED THE FILTER AND FLUID BUT ON OCCASIONS IT STILL MAKES SOME NOISES. 3. I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE WIND AND EXTERIOR ROAD NOISE THAT IT MAKES. ON THE CARS LAST MAINT VISIT. 12/16/03, 58595MI. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE DOOR SEALS WERE BAD AND IT WOULD COST $350.00 IN PARTS TO FIX. I ALSO REPORTED A BURNING SMELL, WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED AFTER SITTING 2 HRS. OR MORE, COMING FROM THE HEAT/AIR SYSTEM. NO PROBLEMS COULD BE FOUND. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S MFR. WILL FORWARD ANY FUTURE PROBLEMS I MAY HAVE. *JB

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
