I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED AGAIN CONTINUOUSLY. I REPLACED IT ONCE ALREADY, TWO YEARS AGO. COST CAME OUT OF MY POCKET. IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE. AFTER TWO YEARS IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY TURN SIGNAL BAR ON MY STEARING WHEEL. WHEN I TURN ON THE TURN SIGNAL (NO MATTER LEFT OR RIGHT), AFTER I TURN, THE TURN SIGNAL GOES OFF BUT THEN I HEAR A LOUD CLICK AND THE OPPOSITE ONE COMES ON. I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT (I CALLED THE SAME DEALER IN BARTOW FL. THAT REPAIRED IT THE FIRST TIME AND WHOM DO ALL MY OIL CHANGES ETC) FOR THESE 2 ISSUES AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE RUNNING BEHIND AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS GIVEN FOR 2 WEEKS AWAY. ONCE AGAIN, MORE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I AM BEING CHARGED $150 JUST FOR THEM TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS TO SEE IF A RECAL CAN APPLY TO THIS PROBLEM THAT IM HAVING FOR THE 2ND TIME? ONCE AGAIN, OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT THIS TIME DUE TO I AM UNEMPLOYED NOW. PLEASE HELP!

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. FROM THE FIRST WEEK THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR(2/10/2013) USED WITH 71,000 MILES THIS CAR HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS. THE FIRST ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR BY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN EVEN WHEN I WAS NOT ACCELERATING, THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHENEVER I WOULD GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WAS A SHIFTING IN THE FRONT END WHENEVER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP OR POT HOLE IN THE ROAD, I FOUND OUT THAT THE STRUT, BALL JOINT, AND THE ROCKER ARM HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY FRONT END. THEN THE DIALS ON MY DASH STARTED TO GO CRAZY PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON AT ALL, I HAVE YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS IS BUT I ASSUME IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER. I ALSO EXPERIENCED COMPLETE FAILURE OF MY COOLING SYSTEM. I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIER, CONDENSER, EXPANSION VALVE, AND ONE OTHER PART THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER. THE TOTAL FOR THIS JOB WAS ABOUT 2,700 AND THE TRANSMISSION WORK WAS 3,750 AND THE WORK ON THE FRONT END WAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 800.00 NOT TO MENTION THE BRAKES I'VE REPLACED AND THE NEW SET OF TIRES I BOUGHT FOR THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND 7 MONTHS. *TR

FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED THERE'S A DEFECT IN CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES WITH THE HEMI ENGINE. ANY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED, IF A SHARP LEFT TURN IS TAKEN THE CAR STALLS OUT. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME PERIODICALLY OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO LOCAL MECHANICS AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, NOBODY COULD FIGURE IT OUT, IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER. FINALLY, A THIRD MECHANIC GOOGLED IT AND CAME UP WITH AN ARTICLE IN THE L.A.TIMES THAT PERFECTLY DESCRIBED MY SITUATION (DUH, I SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT). IT WASN'T UNTIL THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD, ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON, WITH MY TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, THAT I REALLY HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO ROLL INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A SHOPPING PLAZA, SO IT ENDED ALRIGHT, BUT IF THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO THAT COULD'VE SPELLED DISASTER! AS A GUY I CAN HANDLE A SITUATION LIKE THIS, BUT WHEN CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED A DEFECT OF THIS TYPE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, SO IT'S NOT RELATED TO USER ERROR BY ANY MEANS. IN THE END THE THIRD MECHANIC QUOTED ME $1800 FOR A NEW GAS TANK + LINES + LABOR, OR I COULD NOT FILL MY TANK TO THE TOP WHEN I GET GAS. THANKS CHRYSLER! PLUS, THE SHIFTER FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON THE 300C WILL LOCK UP, NOT LETTING THE DRIVER SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THANKS AGAIN CHRYSLER FOR STRANDING MY PREGNANT WIFE!

AT APPROXIMATELY 12:30PM I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) TO DRIVE HOME. I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION, STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THEN PROCEEDED TO CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MY GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED/STUCK IN PARK. IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I THEN TURNED MY CARE OFF AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AGAIN. I THEN STARTED UP MY VEHICLE (CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL) AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS STILL STUCK IN PARK. I THEN PROCEEDED TO GOOGLE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CHRYSLER 300 AND THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS ON THIS SITE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ON THIS SITE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS STRESS THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM JUST HAPPENS OUT OF THE BLUE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HAPPEN. IT COSTS $490 TO GET IT FIXED PLUS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT WILL COST YOU TO GET YOUR VEHICLE CHRYSLER 300 TOWED. THE OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS ALSO STRESS THAT THEY'VE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH 2005, 2006, AND 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING MODELS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE SEVERAL CALLS TO HANDLE MY PROBLEM AS FAR AS TOWING ECT... ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND AND I STRESSED THE ISSUE AS FAR AS THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BEING RECALLED AND IT HADN'T BEEN. IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW I WOULD OF NEVER BOUGHT THE CHRYSLER 300 TOURING 2006 MODEL. I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO THE CUSTOMER TO HAVE TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKETS FOR A DEFAULT THAT THE COMPANY MADE ON A VEHICLE. THIS MODEL NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST.

THE PINK PLASTIC SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH BROKE. THE PLASTIC BREAKS FROM CONTINUAL FORESEEABLE USE. FAILURE CAUSES THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE SHIFTING MECHANISM OUT OF PARK AND THUS DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO YOUTUBE.COM [HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=8UAMY_M7TTK], THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR ON 2006 AND 2007 MODELS. I AM NOT CERTAIN, BUT 2008 AND NEWER MODELS HAVE A PART THAT IS GREEN AND DOES NOT SEEM AS LIKELY TO BREAK. FURTHERMORE, MILEAGE OR AGE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. MINE BROKE BEFORE 75,000 MILES AND SLIGHTLY AFTER 6 YEARS. DORMAN MAKES AN METAL ALUMINUM REPLACEMENT PART RANGING FROM $22 TO $40 DEPENDING ON THE RETAILER. ONLINE IS LESS EXPENSIVE. THE FACT THAT THERE IS A METAL, DURABLE REPLACEMENT PART IS EVIDENCE THAT THIS IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM. MOREOVER, IT IS BELIEVED THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS FAILED TO RECALL ITS VEHICLES. FURTHERMORE, AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER 800 CUSTOMER SERVICE # (REFERENCE #22152872), I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC CAR, THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER COVERING THE COST UNLESS I FIRST WENT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT WHICH A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER MECHANIC WOULD HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PINK PLASTIC SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH WAS THE ISSUE. DIAGNOSTIC ALONE COSTS $150, BUT MAY BE APPLIED TO REPAIRS. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN TUSTIN, CA AND A SERVICING MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT HAD YET TO SEE CHRYSLER COVER THE ESTIMATED $500 COST EVEN THOUGH THE REPLACEMENT PART IS $22 TO $40. THIS IS A PRODUCTS LIABILITY CASE: CHRYSLER IS (1) A COMMERCIAL SUPPLIER OF A (2) DEFECTIVE DESIGNED PRODUCT UNDER THE CONSUMER EXPECTATION, RISK-UTILITY, AND THE FEASIBLE ALTERNATIVE TESTS AND IS THE (3) ACTUAL AND (4) PROXIMATE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT WHICH CAUSES PROPERTY DAMAGES.

EXTREME SHUDDER AND VIBRATION WHILE CAR IS IN DRIVE. WHEN YOU MANUALLY GO THROUGH THE GEARS AT HIGH RPM THE PROBLEM ISN'T AS BAD. BUT AT REGULAR DRIVING SPEEDS THE PROBLEM IS VERY APPARENT. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER FROM A AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP. I HAD THE ORIGINAL TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED WITH A GENUINE DAIMLER CHRYSLER MERCEDES PART. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOW ITS BACK. THE WARRANTY FOR THE PART WAS FOR ONLY 90 DAYS SO I CAN'T EVEN GET WARRANTY WORK ON THE PART. I BELIEVE THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTERS ARE DEFECTIVE. IT COST ME $1600 TO HAVE IT REPLACED ORIGINALLY. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER $1600.00 TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN.

WHEN I STARTED 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IN GEAR, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK.

I HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING ($130.40), RENTAL CAR($86.00), AND TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY($249.18)!

SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO OUT OF PARK!(PROBLEM IS A RECALL) HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST AS A RECALL. THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THIS ISSUE IN FULL. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE IN REGARDS TO THIS DEFECT. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS FAIR FOR SOME VEHICLES WITH THIS RECALL TO RECEIVE FREE REPAIRS AND OTHERS DON'T. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT PAY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED IN FULL AND I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THIS IS BEYOND BELIEF. THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN FULL BY CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS A RECALL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN A PLANT IN ALABAMA OR NORTH CAROLINA. A RECALL IS A RECALL. ESPECIALLY IF THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP, STOP BEING SO RUDE TO CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY CALL IN AND STOP DENYING ISSUES. PEOPLES LIVES DEPEND ON IT. THEN ON TOP OF THAT, THE CSR EXPEDITED MY ISSUE UP TO A MANAGER, THEY DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT I CALLED TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE OUTCOME. THEY KEPT SAYING IT TAKES 24 BUSINESS HOURS. THEY DIDN'T CARE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE A WAY TO WORK AND THEY HANDLED THE SITUATION VERY LIGHTLY WITH NO COMPASSION. AS SOON AS I CAN GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE, I WILL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. THEIR SERVICE SUCKS AND THEY NEVER WANT TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF ANY ISSUES. VERY, VERY, VERY DISSATISFIED CHRYSLER OWNER!!!!!!! *KB

HOWEVER, WHEN HE LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHEN I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS, THEY TOLD ME THE REASON WAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT IN ONE OF THE PLANTS THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE BUILT IN. FURTHER MORE THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED I WAS UNABLE TO GET ANY HELP. ALSO BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. SO WHEN I CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY TO SEE IF THIS DECISION COULD BE OVERTURNED THEY TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED AND WOULD NOT BE REOPENED.

POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE - VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 1 MONTH WITH A BAD PCM MODULE. THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE 8 YEAR / 80,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY. CHRYSLER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE PART TO FIX THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON A "MEGA BACKORDER" AND IT IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ISSUES KNOWN WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OVER 75 VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE WAITING LIST FOR THE PCM. FAILURE OF THE PCM CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN IDLING ROUGHLY AT RANDOM TIMES. THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND ESP LIGHTS ON THE DASH BEGIN TO FLASH. THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN NOT GAIN SPEED OVER ABOUT 20 MPH. EVENTUALLY, THE VEHICLE DIES. IF YOU TAKE THE KEY OUT, YOU CAN ALWAYS START IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MAKE IT 20 FEET, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL MAKE IT FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. MY VEHICLE FAILED ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WAS PUT IN A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION BECAUSE I HAD NO WARNING. I COULD NOW BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR MONTHS DUE TO THE SHORTAGE OF THIS PART. CHRYSLER IS NOW IN CONTACT WITH THE VENDOR OF THE PART TO TRY TO GET AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN THE PART WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE.

2006 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WITH 3.5 AND AUTO TRANS. TRANSMISSION SHIFTER HAS FAILED 2 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. 1ST TIME IT WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE, THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND SHIFTER REPAIRED. IAW DEALER THE PLASTIC CLIP INSIDE THE SHIFTER BROKE. 2ND TIME THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT GO TO PARK AND COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE SHIFTER WAS REPAIRED AGAIN, A NEW PLASTIC PIECE USED AGAIN. CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN YES BUT WHEN NO IDEA. IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (AND NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THRU THIS) WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? INSTEAD THEY KEEP REPLACING THE PART AS IT BREAKS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON THE VEHICLE? WILL I INCUR THE EXPENSES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

BETWEEN MULTIPOINT VEHICLE INSPECTIONS PERFORMED IN 12/2008 AND 11/2009), MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED A REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL LEAK. WITH LESS THAN 59000 MILES NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION AND LESS THAN THREE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I AM CONFRONTED WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL SEAL. WITHOUT REPLACEMENT OF THIS EXPENSIVE FACTORY DEFECT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THE REAR AXLE TO OVER HEAT AND POSSIBLY IGNITE THE VEHICLE AFIRE. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED RWD - COULD NOT PUT CAR INTO DRIVE. LAST USE WAS FINE, BUT WENT TO USE CAR NEXT DAY AND COULDN'T MOVE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE. PUTTING FOOT ON BRAKE ALLOWED SHIFT HANDLE IT TO MOVE RIGHT FURTHER BUT NOT DOWN TO NEXT GEAR (REVERSE). ROCKING CAR DID NOTHING. RESEARCHED ON INTERNET AND FOUND REFERENCE TO SHIFTER PINK PLASTIC PIECE BREAKS OFF WHICH ATTACHED TO RETURN SPRING. CALLED DEALER - TOLD NEED TO HAVE IT TOWED IN AND REPLACE SHIFTER - THEY'RE JUST STARTING TO SEE THIS PROBLEM MORE FREQUENTLY. REMOVED SILVER SHIFTER TRIM BEZEL, DISCONNECTED SMALL CABLE FROM KEY SWITCH INTERLOCK, THEN ROTATED PINK PLASTIC PIECE UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER (NOT THE PINK PLASTIC TAB ON THE SIDE OF THE SHIFTER) SO I COULD PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND USE THE CAR AND AVOID THE HASSLE AND EMBARRASSMENT OF TOWING. DROVE CAR TO DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THEY REPLACED THE SHIFTER - ABOUT A $500 JOB BUT GIVEN A GOODWILL EXCHANGE SO IT COST $100. SINCE I LIVE IN THE PHOENIX METRO AREA (READ HOT - HOT - HOT) - THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IN ANOTHER 3 YEARS BECAUSE THE SAME CHEAP REPLACEMENT PART WAS INSTALLED. STEVIE WONDER COULD SEE THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT DESIGNED IN DEFECT - USING SOME CHEAP PINK PLASTIC PART IN A HIGH USE AREA. THERE SUPPOSEDLY IS A METAL REPLACEMENT PART TO FIX THIS BUT YOU NEED TO TEAR APART THE CAR AND THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE IT. YOU NEED TO REMOVE A BUNCH OF TRIM PANELS AND BUST A KNUCKLE OR TWO TO GET THE SHIFTER OUT. I WOULD HAVE HAD IT OUT IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES IF THEY HADN'T MOLDED THE "LARGE" BASE PLATE AS PART OF THE SHIFTER WHICH MAKES THE SMALL SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THE OPENING. *TR

WHILE WORKING IN ROANOKE, VA I WAS LEAVING THE MALL AND WAS BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE AT A STOP LIGHT. LIGHT CHANGED AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR SPUN AROUND TWICE ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS NOT GOING NO MORE THAN 15 MPH BECAUSE I WAS BEHIND THE OTHER VEHICLE. EXPERIENCE FROM DRIVING IN ALASKA ON ICE, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CALMNESS AND NOT SLAM ON BRAKES AND KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. THE CAR RESTED IN THE TURNING LANE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I KNOW THE OTHER DRIVERS WAS AS SCARED AS I WAS NOT KNOWING IF I WAS GOING TO SLAM INTO THEM BECAUSE I WAS SO OUT OF CONTROL. I CONTACTED MIKE AN ENGINEER AT CHRYSLER'S HEADQUARTERS AND LEFT HIM A MESSAGE AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND TO THIS DATE HE HAS NOT RESPONDED. I HAVE A HISTORY WITH THEM BECAUSE MY CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CHRYSLER FLEW A TEAM OF ENGINEERS IN FOR A WEEK TO CHECK OUT THE CAR, BUT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD UNTIL THE CAR STOPS RUNNING OR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BUT THEY WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS ONCE THE PROBLEM IS FOUND. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE THE LOSS OF LIFE BEFORE THEY WILL ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. MAYBE IF WE ALL SENT LETTERS TO THE CEO SOMETHING WILL BE DONE BEFORE WE HAVE ANOTHER TOYOTA CRISIS.

TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS (WHITTEN BROS. & CROSSROADS, VA) AND TOLD THAT NO CODE FOUND TO SHOW A PROBLEM WHEN HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER. SECOND DEALER EXPERIENCED PROBLEM WHILE TEST DRIVING MY CAR, BUT THE CODE RESETS ITSELF QUICKLY AND THE DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR COMPLETELY STOP RUNNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON.

MY NEW 2006 CHRYSLER 300 C WITH ALL WHEEL DRIVE HAS A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT APPROX. 50 MPH AND THE WHOLE CAR DEVELOPS A COMPLETE BODY SHAKE AT HIGHER SPEEDS THATS FEELS LIKE THE WHEELS ARE GONNA LEAVE THE CAR. THE DEALER ROAD FORCE BALANCED THE EXISTING TIRES AND COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY CHANGED THE TIRES AND IT STILL DID IT . THEY THEN SENT THE CAR OUT FOR MORE ROADFORCE BALANCING. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS AND ENOUGH WHEEL WEIGHTS TO BALANCE THE WHEELS OF 2 CARS, THE PROBLEM WAS MINIMIZED BUT STILL NOT CORRECTED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR STILL FEELS UNSAFE,AND IT STILL SHAKES AT LOW SPEED SOMETIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODELS HAVE AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM AND I COULD CONSIDER A NEW CAR REPLACEMENT, BUT SHOULDNT BUY ANOTHER ALL WHEEL DRIVE BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS WELCOME TO TEST DRIVE ANOTHER CAR EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND I WOULD SEE THAT IT TO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM . THEY HAVE OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE BUT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE CARS PROBLEM UNTIL PERHAPS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS WERE FILED TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.I DONT KNOW IF ITS A WHEEL PROBLEM OR DRIVETRAIN OR OTHER BUT I FEAR WHATEVER THIS PROBLEM IS IT MAY EVENTUALLY ENDANGER MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS.

ON 1/25/06 I LOST ALL ACCELERATION ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C 4DR. SEDAN. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR REVVED THE ENGINE BUT THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY THERE WAS A SHOULDER, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER BEFORE BEING STRUCK BY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE WAS "REPAIRED" BY THE DEALER (MCDONOUGH CHRYSLER IN EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ) AND RETURNED TO ME ON 2/10/06. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON US ROUTE #1. THIS TIME THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AND THE TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND HER ONLY AVOIDED HITTING HER BY SWERVING TO THE LEFT AND GOING AROUND HER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR MADE A COMMENT THAT HE TOWS "ABOUT 20 OF THESE CARS A WEEK." THIS MAY BE AN EXAGGERATION BUT IT WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *NM

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND DIDN'T SEE ANY CODE INDICATING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THE LIGHT WAS RESET AND THE CAR WAS RETURN TO ME. I DROVE IT AGAIN FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME NOV 23 2006. I CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR IN. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE TECH STARTED THE CAR HE DIDN'T SEE THE LIGHT ON. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR HOME. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 1500 MILES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE THE FEELING THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST RESETTING THE LIGHT AND NOT TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
