STEERING
MY CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS IN TO THE DEALER THREE OR FOUR TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL OF THE 2005 300S DO THAT. IF I WANT TO SEE IF AN ALIGNMENT WILL CORRECT IT, I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF.

THE VEHICLEWAS BROUGHT TO FREEHOLD CHRYSLER FOR SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, HESITATION, LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLDING COMING OFF, TRUNK LATCH BROKEN AND CAR PULLING TO THE RIGHT. FREEHOLD CHRYSLER STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS AND FOUND NO CODES AND THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS DONE AT A COST TO ME OF $95.00,MOLDING AND TRUNK LATCH WAS REPLACED. WE THEN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN FOR PULLING TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 1 WEEK LATER AND AGAIN THE TOLD US IT WAS FIXED.THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PULLING AS MUCH BUT STILL WAS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WAS RED LINING, NOT SHIFTING AND STALLING ON HER. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO EATONTOWN CHRYSLER IN WHICH THEY FOUND A TRANSMISSION SOLENOID TO BE BAD AND REPLACED IT. WE THEN STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS REAR WINDOW NOT WORKING ALL THE TIME AND AIR BAG LIGHT SOMETIMES FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AGAIN HESITATION WHEN STATING FROM STOP. ALSO THE MOON ROOF INTERIOR SHADE OPENS TO ABOUT AN INCH AFTER DRIVING TO VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WE CONTACTED FREEHOLD CHRYSLER ABOUT THESE PROBLEM AND THE PREVIOUS WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 3, 2005. NOW ITS MAY 8TH AND WE HAVE APPROX. 20,000 ON THE VEHICLE AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED BASED ON A SERVICE BULLETIN AND AT NO COST TO US, EVEN THOUGH WE PAID $95.00 ORIGINALLY, AND THE REST OF THE PROBLEMS CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORP. SERVICE CENTER AT 18009921997 AND SPOKE TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE IN REFERENCE TO THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT THEY COULD DO.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THIS VEHICLE (AS I UNDERSTAND, THIS AND MAY OTHERS) IS EXPERIENCING A PULL TO RIGHT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAS HAD THE TSB (CAMB. BOLT) PERFORMED 2 TIMES. PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM RIGHT FROM THE BEGINING...NOW WE ARE AT THE END OF APRIL AND IT IS NOT FIXED. WE HAVE HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED FOR WEAR (AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALIGNMENT) THIS VEHICLE'S PRODUCTION DATE IS VERY EARLY. APPARENTLY CHRYSLER HAS SINCE FIXED THE PROBLEM ON NEWER 300'S BEING PRODUCED....BUT CAN SEEM TO FIX THE OLDER ONES. AT THIS POINT I AM QUESTIONING WHETHER THIS CAN BE REPAIRED.*AK

PARKING BRAKE:INDICATOR LIGHT
THE NEW 300'S ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE PEDAL TO SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SITS TOO CLOSE TO THE DOOR OPENING. WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED IF YOU TOUCH, BRUSH OR NUDGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL IT SETS THE SENSOR AS IF THE BRAKE HAS BEEN SET. THE MANUFACTORER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS OF YET, THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRAKE AND THAT THE SENSOR IS VERY TOUCHY. AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 3 TIMES. THEY CAN NOT BE SURE IF THE VEHICLE WILL REACT IN ANYWAY WHILE DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS SINCE THE SENSOR IS TELLING THE BRAIN THAT THE BRAKE IS SET.*AK

STEERING
I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 MADE IN AUGUST OF 2004. IT HAS AN ISSUE, AS MANY OF THESE AND DODGE MAGNUMS DO, WITH PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO! MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS! MY CAR KEEP SWIRVING RIGHT AND I KEEP HAVING TO PULL IT BACK. THE DEALER KEEPS GIVING MY EXCUSES AND CHRYSLER IS DENYING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM! IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 2ND, 2005!*AK
