POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 AND I LOVE IT UNTIL NOW!!! ON FRIDAY 5/6/11 I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR ON "PARK" TO CLOSE MY GATE I GOT BACK IT AND IT WAS STUCK ON "PARK" EVEN WITH TRYING THE "PINK RELEASE BUTTON". FROM WHAT I RESEARCHED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS TYPE OF CAR. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURE WON'T COVER THIS PROBLEM WITH NO CHARGE TO THE COSTUMERS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER AND WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED A CHRYSLER 300 ON 11/19/09. I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON 12/10/09. I HAVE LEARNED SINCE THE ACCIDENT, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL CONCERNING THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. SINCE WE PURCHASED USED, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS EVER CORRECTED ON OUR VEHICLE. THE ABS LIGHTS STAYS ON AND MECHANICS SAYS IT IS NOT DANGEROUS, JUST THE CRUISE WANT WORK. WE HAVE CARRIED THIS CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND SPENT OVER $2,000. ON REPAIRS AND NOW THEY TELL US IT CAN'T BE FIXED AND WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY IT IS O.K. TO DRIVE. ESPECIALLY SINCE I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND I HAD A WRECK. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A COTTON WAGON. I APPLIED BRAKES BUT DID NOT STOP, JUST SLIDE. *TR
