1999 Chrysler 300m complaints

THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE STALLED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300M- 1999 MODEL. FOR NO REASON, THE DASH NOW HAS A 6 INCH SPLIT OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID NOTHING HAS CAUSED IT, AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THEIR PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK DECLINED BACKWARDS. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

THE DASHBOARD HAD DEVELOPED A CUT OR TEAR, WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS INSTALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE TEAR IS A COSMETIC ISSUE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TEAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD, SO THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONSUMER HEARD FROM OTHER SERVICE DEALERS THAT THE TEAR WAS DUE TO THE THINNING OF THE DASHBOARD TO MAKE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG EASIER. *LA

THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH TOP OF THE LINE 300M CARS. MY CAR HAS ONLY 60000 MILES AND THE DASH IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. EVERY DASH REPAIR PERSON I CALLED SAID THIS WAS THEIR #1 COMPLAINT FOR 300M BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THEM DUE TO LIABILITY ISSUES. AS CONSUMERS WE ARE LEAD TO THINK WE ARE BUYING CHRYSLERS TOP OF THE LINE CAR. NOW THEY HAVE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP LOYAL CUSTOMERS. THE CONSUMER MUST BE PROTECTED WITH THIS TERRIBLE ISSUE.*AK

THIS A COMPLAINT IN REGARD TO AN ARTICLE I READ ABOUT A LAW SUIT WITH THE CHRYSLER COMPANY IN REGUARDS TO STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LH SERIES CARS. I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER 300M AND FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR THERE HAS BEEN RATTLING NOISES BUT JUST NOISES THEN IN AUGUST OF 2002 I STARTED TO GET EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE STEERING. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT FIXED BUT IN FEB 2004 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY PICK UP TRUCK SO I HAD TO START USING THE VEHICLE TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I PUT 200 MILES A DAY ON IT. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A USED STEERING RACK BECAUSE I HAVE DETERMINED THAT TO BE THE CAUSE, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT THE ARTICLE I DON'T THINK I SHOULD USE IT AND AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THERE IS REALLY NO SUITABLE REPLACEMENTS. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOT DRIVE A CAR I AM STILL PAYING ON BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE!!! I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES!!!*AK

OUR 1999 CHRYSLER 300M (VIN #2C3-HE66G2XH-622721) HAS PLASTIC AERODYNAMIC HEAD LAMPS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED A "HAZE" THAT SEVERELY REDUCES THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I AM NOT AN ENGINEER AND DO NOT PURPORT TO OFFER A PROFESSIONAL OPINION ON THIS ISSUE, BUT CAN REPORT AS A CONSUMER THAT THE ILLUMINATION APPEARS TO BE ABOUT HALF OF WHAT IT WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THIS HAZE BEGAN APPEARING SOMEWHERE IN THE THREE TO FOUR YEAR OF AGE RANGE. IT TOOK A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BUT BY FIVE YEARS OF AGE THE DETERIORATION WAS AT A POINT WHERE WE BELIEVE IT IS A LIGHTING SAFETY ISSUE. I DISCUSSED THIS SITUATION WITH TED VOGALIE WHO IS THE DISTRICT LEVEL REPRESENTATIVE FOR CHRYSLER ON JANUARY 16, 2004 AT THE ANCIRA CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. I REQUESTED THAT CHRYSLER TREAT THIS AS A DEFECTIVE PART AND REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS. MR. VOGALIE REFUSED TO OFFER THIS ASSISTANCE. IN OUR CONVERSATION HE MADE MUCH OF THE FACT THAT THE HAZE APPEARED TO BE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT AND CITED THIS AND THE AGE/MILEAGE OF THE CAR (5 YEARS/ 57,000 MILES) AS REASONS FOR NOT OFFERING TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS CAR'S USAGE CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS "CODDLED" SINCE IT IS ROUTINELY PARKED IN A GARAGE AND HAS NO UNUSUAL ROAD CONDITIONS OR OTHER UNUSUAL USAGE. THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH THAT I HAVE ORDERED REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHTS AND AM GOING TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS EVEN THOUGH THE RETAIL COST OF DOING THIS REPLACEMENT IS AROUN

THE CONSUMER STATES SHE HAS TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE DEALER STATES THE RIMS ARE CORRODED WHICH CAUSES A LEAKAGE. *PH IN WARM WEATHER THE RIMS WERE FINE BUT WHEN THE COLD HAD COME THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED EVERYDAY. *SC

I HAVE A SPLIT OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE SPLIT STARTED OUT 3 INCHES LONG AND NOW IS 8-9 INCHES IN LENGTH. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKING TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I WOULD HAVE TO COME UP WITH 1500.00 PLUS INSTALLATION FOR A NEW DASHBOARD. THERE ARE AT LEAST 50 300M'S IN THIS AREA, THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I WISH I COULD GET ALL OF THEM TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT, BUT SOME PEOPLE NEVER DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MATERIAL PROBLEM WERE THE MATERIAL IS STRETCHED OVER THE AIR BAG. I AM NOT SURE IF THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY WHEN NOT NECESSARY STARTLING ME AS I DRIVE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE LOOKED ON THIS WEB SITE AND SEE WHERE SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AND I COMPLAINED PREVIOUSLY. IS THIS DEFECT BEING INVESTIGATED? THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A VINYL REPAIR SHOP AND THE SERVICE MAN SAID HE WOULDN'T FIX IT, BECAUSE HE WOULD BE AFRAID THE AIR BAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY. *CB

10 INCH VERTICAL CRACK OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. *CB

THE EVAPORATOR COIL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE AND NOT COOLING PROPERLY.IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS POINT AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT BACK 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN AND FINALLY ON THE 3RD TRY THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A EVAPORATOR COIL.I AM TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP/CHRYSLER TO PAY, WE'LL KNOW TOMMARROW.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER 300 M VIN # [XXX]. THE AERODYNAMIC HEAD LIGHTS ON THE CAR DEVELOPED A HAZE THAT SEVERELY REDUCES THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY AT NIGHT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A GOVERNMENT STANDARD OR ENGINEERING STANDARD FOR THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF ROAD ILLUMINATION NEEDED TO MAKE OPERATION OF A VEHICLE SAFE AT NIGHT. I WONDER HOW MANY CARS ARE DRIVING IN SUBSTANDARD LIGHTING CONDITIONS DUE TO HAVING THESE PLASTIC LENSES THAT DO NOT HOLD UP TO ROAD CONDITIONS AND ARE SO HAZY AS TO MAKE SAFE DRIVING VISIBILITY QUESTIONABLE. I KNOW THAT ALL THE MODERN CARS HAVE THESE TYPE LENSES BUT HOW CAN THE NHTSA NOT REQUIRE THAT THESE DEVICES BE MADE TO ENDURE THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE VEHICLES THEY ARE INSTALLED ON. WHEN THEY ARE NEW THEY LOOK GOOD. BEYOND 2 YEARS THEY BEGIN TO DETERIORATE RAPIDLY. AND HERE IS THE REAL CUSTOMER RIP OFF: THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT FOR A MERE $700 PLUS DOLLARS THEY CAN REPLACE THESE FIXTURES. THEY ALSO COME WITH NO GUARANTEE!. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE EARLIER MODEL CARS THAT HAD GLASS HEAD LAMPS AND COULD BE REPLACED FOR LESS THAT $ 10.00 TOTAL. THEY DID NOT HAZE UP LIKE THIS EXPENSIVE CHEAP PLASTIC. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MANY NIGHT TIME ACCIDENTS REALLY HAPPEN BECAUSE OF POOR VISIBILITY, YET DO NOT GET ATTRIBUTED TO SUCH SIMPLY BECAUSE THE DRIVERS DID HAVE THEIR LIGHTS ON AND THAT IS ALL THAT WAS CONSIDERED NECESSARY. AGAIN IF YOU DRIVE V

MY PASSENGER VEHICLE HAS A CRACK DEVELOPING IN THE DASH ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS CRACK IS ABOUT 5-6 INCHES LONG AND APPEARS TO BE GROWING. IT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SLIGHT DEPRESSION WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS CANNOT BE REPAIRED BY ANY COSMETIC MEANS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RENDERING THE AIR BAG INEFFECTIVE. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE RECALL. THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR A MERE #1100.00 PLUS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED IN THE CARS WHEN THEY ARE NEW BUT THEY ARE NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY STANDARD THAT REQUIRES THE DEVICES TO BE FUNCTIONAL BEYOND THE DAY YOU PURCHASE THE VEHICLE? FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER THIS NEITHER PROTECTS ME BY ASSURING MY PERSONAL SAFETY NOR DOES IT PROTECT ME FINANCIALLY. THIS IS A RIP OFF. COULD ANY INDEPENDENT MANUFACTURER SURVIVE BUILDING THESE DEVICES AND SELLING THEM UNDER CONDITIONS THAT THEY WILL MOST LIKELY TO FAIL BEFORE YOU NEED THEM AND COST A BUNDLE TO REPAIR AND THAT INCLUDES NO WARRANTY. *LA

THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN CAR IS GOING TO DIE OUT I AM LUCKY NOT TO BE DEAD AS EACH TIME IT DIED ON HIGHWAY I WAS GOING 75 MPH AND IN PASSING LANE. I NOTICED 7 OR 8 LIKE COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE. ONLY ONE GOT RESOLVED. I AM HOPING TO BE NUMBER 2. *LA

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER 300M AND I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ALONG THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WENT TO A VINYL SHOP TO GET IT REPAIRED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT COULD AFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO GET THE DASHBOARD REPLACED WHICH MY DEALER TOLD ME WOULD COST $1000. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT HAVING THE CRACK THERE COULD ALSO AFFECT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DASHBOARD CRACKING IN THIS AREA ON THIS CAR. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER, AS IT'S THEIR SHODDY VINYL. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T SEEM TO BE OCCURRING IN NEWER MODELS AND THEREFORE I WOULD ASSUME CHRYSLER HAS FOUND A FIX. *JB

I OWN A 1999 CHRYSLER 300M AND THE PASSANGER SIDE AIR BAG IS IN THE DASH AND HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS AROUND THE AIR BAG IN THE DASH I HAVE CALLED AND TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD MY OUT OF WARRANTY OUT OF LUCK. BASICALLY I WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TAKING CARE OF FROM CHRYSLER WHAT IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS AND I HAPPEN TO BE IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG DOESNT DEPLOY FOR THIS REASON NOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN LAWSUIT, LOS OF LIFE MAYBE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THERE 300M AND ALSO THE SEAL AROUND THE DOORS OF THE CAR HAVE A PROBLEM OF SHRINKING THEY HAVE SHRUNK SO MUCH SOMETIMES NOT ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THERES ANOTHER PROBLEM THERE IF IM IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR STARTS ON FIRE AND I CANT GET MY DOOR OPEN BECAUSE THE WEATHER GASKET HAS SHRUNK SO MUCH I CAN'T GET THE DOOR OPEN THEN WHAT.
