SEATS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 2006 CHYRSLER 300 HAS DUCTWORK PROBLEMS. THE HEAT WILL NOT GO OFF! ALSO THE SEAT WARMERS ARE VERY WARM EVEN WHEN THEY SUPPOSE TO BE OFF. IT'S LIKE SITTING IN A FIRE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS TO BE UNSAFE. CALL DEALER MARTY CANCILLAS AND SERVICE TECHNICIAN IS AWARE OF ISSUE BUT WANTS TO CHARGE A $139 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO TELL ME WHAT HE ALREADY KNOWS TO BE WRONG. HE SAID IT WAS THE DUCTWORK OR MODOR MOTOR OR SOME COMPONENT OF THE DUCTWORK IN DASHBOARD AREA. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, LOANER VEHICLE, OR VEHICLE OF COMPARABLE VALUE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR

STEERING
I RECENTLY HAD NEW TIRES MOUNTED ON MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE RODS WERE WORN BADLY. I JUST PASSED 42,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON MANY CHRYSLER 300 MODELS AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. THERE ARE EVEN TWO OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. YOU CAN HAVE THE TIE RODS REPLACED WITH STANDARD EQUIPMENT BUT WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OR CHRYSLER CAME OUT WITH AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE AN ACTUAL RECALL. I WILL BE HAVING THE TIE RODS REPLACED TOMORROW. *TR
