SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
CHRYSLER 300C 2006, OUTER TIE ROD BROKE AT 30K AND AGAIN AT 37K MILES. I BOUGHT CAR NEW, AND IT ALWAYS HAD A VIBRATION DEALER TOLD ME AT ALL COMPLAINTS THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND IT WAS TIRES. REPLACED/CHANGED TIRES AFTER 30K TIE ROD CHANGE, AND IT DID LITTLE FOR VIBRATION. ON STATE INSPECTION TODAY, WAS SHOWN THAT TIE ROD HAD 1/2 INCH OF PLAY ON REPLACEMENT MOPAR PART. SEARCH ONLINE FINDS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT. *TR

STEERING
ON 11/25/09, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300C AWD, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SLIP, AND THE FRONT END FELT OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING, AND I WAS VERY SCARED. I SLOWED TO ABOUT 40 MPH, AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT LANE. I STILL DID NOT FEEL SAFE, AND, GIVEN THE VEHICLE HISTORY AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE A NEWBORN AT HOME, I DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WHEN I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE ON 07/23/07 THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, IT WAS POSITIONED AT 10 O'CLOCK. ON 09/20/07, WITH 2163 MILES, THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE REPOSITIONED, AND THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 11/28/07 WITH 5130 MILES, AGAIN THE CAR PULLED, AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE ADJUSTED, AND AGAIN THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED. ON 01/25/08 WITH 6863 MILES, YET AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE "CRADLE NEEDED TO BE SHIFTED" AND THEY ADJUSTED THE CRADLE. PER THE REP, DEALER REPLACED 2 FRONT TIRES, DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. ON 06/26/09, WITH 29002 MILES, ONCE AGAIN THE CAR WAS PULLING. DEALER FOUND "PLAY IN INNER TIE/RODS", REPLACED STEERING RACK, AND ALIGNED. I REQUESTED 2 MORE TIRES DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR, I WAS TOLD TIRES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT FEEL THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND I WILL NOT GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
INTERMITTENT STALLING - REPETITIVE ISSUE INTERMITTENT STALLING OF MY VEHICLE WHILE IN PARK OR WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 3X'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE; 3/21, 4/17 AND 6/23. SINCE THE PROBLEM OCCURS SO INFREQUENTLY, THE DEALERS (BERLIN CHRYSLER & MT. EPHRAIM CHRYSLER) HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STALLING SINCE 6/23, NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND WITH MY CAR BEING 41,000 MILES IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR (IF THEY CAN EVEN DIAGNOSIS IT) CONSIDERING I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES 3 OTHER TIMES WHICH CHRYSLER HAS DOCUMENTED. I DID SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE @ 1-800-992-1997 WHO WAS VERY FRIENDLY BUT WHO COULD NOT GIVE ME A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. THE SERVICE RECORDS ARE IMPECCABLE ON THIS VEHICLE I SHOULD NOT BE CONCERNED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THAT IT'S GOING TO STALL AND CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO MY WELL BEING. THREE DAYS BUSINESS DAYS AFTER MY PHONE CALL AND E-MAIL TO CHRYSLER THEY RESPONDED WITH A GENERIC LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY RESPONSE. THERE ARE VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET OF FOLKS HAVING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
2006 CHRYSLER 300C HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. IT GOES OFF REPEATEDLY WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH AN AUDIBLE BELL SOUNDING AND TIRE PRESSURES BEING DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL PANEL OF THE DASHBOARD. PROBLEM STARTED 11-12-08 UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION HAS ATTEMPTED 20 TIMES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I HAVE FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT THROUGH CHRYSLER WITH NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY ANYONE AT CHRYSLER DESPITE MY REPEATED ATTEMPTS AT RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY HAVE I FILED FOR THE LEMON LAW REPLACEMENT WITHIN CHRYSLER, I HAVE ALSO FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB OF MICHIGAN, THE KY. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WHICH REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA DUE TO THE SAFETY HAZARDS THAT THE CARS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM DISPLAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN USE. CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. CHRYSLER HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 MONTHS AND HAVE CEASED FROM COMMUNICATING WITH ME AS A CUSTOMER. I AM REQUESTING A FORMAL INQUIRY BY THE NHTSA INTO THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEIR LACK OF COMMUNICATION TO CUSTOMERS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE BEEN INCONVENIENCED FOR 11 MONTHS AND AT THIS TIME CARDINAL CHRYSLER LOUISVILLE, KY. 502 449-1900 SERVICE MANAGER CHARLIE TRYA, HAS HAD MY AUTO ATTEMPTING REPAIRS FOR 1, 1/2 MONTHS. CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE TIRE SENSORS, THE DASHBOARD DIGITAL CLUSTER, AND THE RECEIVER FOR THE TPM. UNDER THE KENTUCKY AND MICHIGAN LEMON LAW, MY AUTOMOBILE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT CONTACT ME BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE, AND ACCORDING TO THE LAW HAVE FAILED TO PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE IN AN TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. CHRYSLER IS COVERING UP MAJOR ISSUES IN THEIR AUTOMOBILES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM AND MISLEADING CUSTOMERS GLOBALLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 CHRYSLER 300C ENGINE: 5.7 LITER SPMI ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN ANYWHERE FROM 0-40MPH. IT COULD OCCUR WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, HAPPENING WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40MPR. SO ACTUALLY WHATEVER YOU WOULD DO TO BRING THE SPEED LIMIT BELOW 40MPH IS OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE. THE REST OF THE THINGS WOULD NOT BE WORTH MENTIONING BECAUSE ANYTHING YOU DID TO BRING THE MILES PER HOUR BELOW 40 IS ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT (IT EVEN WOULD STOP AT A STOP SIGN). IF IT WAS SAFE TO ACCELERATE YOU COULD STOP THE SHUT DOWN. IT NEVER STOPPED OR TRIED TO STOP AT HIGH SPEEDS. COMMON DENOMINATOR ON ENGINE SHUTDOWN APPEARED TO BE A FULL TANK OF GAS OR RELATIVELY FULL TANK OF GAS. PROBLEM STARTED PRIOR TO OCTOBER 2008 BEFORE TAKING TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE (FINAL REPAIR DONE JUNE 27, 2009). MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS LATER THE PROBLEM APPEARS FIXED; USING A 'BLACK BOX' FOR THE CAR THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED (AFTER REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND COMPUTER COMPONENTS): (FROM DEALER INVOICE) REPLACE RETAINER, GAS TANK, CANISTER, SELENOID-PROPORTIONAL, O RING-FUEL PUMP AND LEVE, RETAINER, PIN. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM ON LAST INVOICE: TOOK MULTIPLE RECORDINGS OF MULTIPLE SENSORS, POWERS, GROUNDS, EVAP SYSTEM, ETC. READ RECORDINGS FOUND MOST COMMON EVAP PURGE WHEN ENGINE DIES. REMOVED EVAP CANISTER TO CHECK FOR FUEL LIQUID, NONE. REINSTALLED CANISTER, PLUGGED OFF PURGE SYSTEM. HAD DRIVEN FOR SEVERAL MILES TO SEE IF VEHICLE STUMBLES, DROVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. REPLACED GAS TANK AND TRANSFERRED NEEDED PARTS. FLOW CONTROL VALVE NOT SEALING, REPLACED CANISTER, SATURATED WITH FUEL. REPLACED PURGE SOLENOID, ALSO SATURATED. RECHECK OK. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I HAD TAKEN THE CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR AND STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE SHOP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION CAUSING THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE CAR USING THE BRAKES AND STRUCK THE BUMPER OF A PARKED CAR WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT STOP SO I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THE CAR STOPPED. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE THE RPM IMMEDIATELY WENT TO MORE THAN 4000 RPM . I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND MANUALLY PULLED UP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE ENGINE IDLED NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND LEFT IT WITH THEM. THE ACCELERATOR CONTINUED TO STICK IN THE DOWN POSITION AND REQUIRED MANUALLY RETURNING AT EACH TIME I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
ON JUNE 11, 2009 I WENT IN TO HAVE TIRES PUT ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300 AT SOUTHERN TIRE, LEXINGTON PARK, MARYLAND. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT THE INNER TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PRIOR TO PUTTING TIRES ON THE VEHICLE, AND THAT HE HAD CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, PARK DODGE, CHRYSLER JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR 6 MONTHS AND THERE WAS A TOTAL OF 3,123 ON BACK ORDER. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP MYSELF THE SAME EVENING AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE PARTS MANAGER BY PHONE AND ORDERED THE PART ( P/N 68028831AC) BUT WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. HE INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE AT CHRYSLER FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE LINE THAT EVENING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF CHRYSLER I SHOULD UNDERSTAND. I EXPRESSED TO ASK A CUSTOMER TO WAIT 6 MONTHS FOR A PART WAS UNREASONABLE. I WAS TOLD TO GIVE THEM 48 HOURS TO MAKE A DECISION AS TO HOW TO HELP ME AND SOME ONE WOULD CONTACT ME. ON JUNE 12TH I ARRIVED HOME AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE STATING THAT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME WITH A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY (92,000 MILES). I CALLED THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR. THE SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK THE NEXT WORKING DAY. I RECEIVED NO CALL. I CONTINUED TO CALL AROUND AND GO ONTO THE INTERNET IN SEARCH OF THE PART AND TO NO AVAIL IT WAS NOT FOUND. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME IT IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THEY ARE WORKING TO GET THE PART AS SOON AS THEY CAN BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I DRIVE ALMOST 150 MILES A DAY TO WORK. MY FRONT TIRES ARE GETTING VERY BAD AND THE LEFT ONE IS "COUPLING" ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PARTS ON BACKORDER AND NONE IN THE COUNTRY IF THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE? *TR

STEERING
I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. TWICE YESTERDAY MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING. I COULD NOT TURN THE CAR IN EITHER DIRECTION. I HAD TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THEN THE STEERING WAS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY AND IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR ME BECAUSE IF I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DETECT A PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURS ANYTIME YOU ACCELERATE, FROM 0 TO 50 AND FROM 50 TO 70. SUBSTANTIAL BRAKE PRESSURE HAS TO BE APPLIED FOR THE ACCELERATION TO STOP. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER OR NOT THE CRUISE IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY AS THE MILEAGE HAD EXPIRED BY 500 MILES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
INTERMITTENT DELAY WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE DELAY CAN BE UP TO 7-8 SECONDS DURING WHICH TIME THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUTS. THERE IS ALSO A LOW RUMBLING NOISE THAT OCCURS WHEN OPERATING AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE. THE PROBLEM BECOMES A DANGER WHEN BACKING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR PERFORMING A THREE POINT TURN, BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL END UP STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD UNABLE TO MOVE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEARING DOWN ON YOU, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT COUNTLESS TIMES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY KEEP GETTING THE SAME FAULT CODES INDICATING A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE BETWEEN SHIFT MODULE AND TRANSMISSION. THEIR SOLUTION HAS BEEN TO CHANGE THE SAME PART A SHIFT MODULE THREE TIMES WHICH HAS REQUIRED THEM TO KEEP MY CAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AFTER WHICH THEY INFORM ME THAT THEY THINK THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT DON'T KNOW. *TR

THE TIRES HAVE LOTS OF TREAD EXCEPT IN THIS LITTLE GROOVE. AFTER THE AIR WAS LET OUT FOR REPLACEMENT A FINGER PROBE OF THE AREA FELT VERY SOFT LIKE YOU COULD PUT YOUR FINGER THROUGH IT.
