    I am writing to you as a highly concerned citizen about a life threatening issue. I recently lost my dear mother after she suffered a head injury (subdural hematoma) when she was abruptly hit on the head by the car trunk of her 2005 Chrysler 300 sedan (VIN#**). The struts that hold up the trunk lid of the car failed and the trunk lid slammed into her unexpectedly. This is not a case of overuse. With the trunk, the usage was limited to grocery shopping. This vehicle has never been wrecked, never been in an accident, nor ever been damaged in any way. This vehicle was very well maintained and regularly serviced at a Chrysler dealership.

    This vehicle has had only one owner. While some might say that the parts of a vehicle are not designed to last forever, it simply should be unacceptable for a vehicle to have such a heavy trunk with a structural design that allows the trunk to come crashing down, without warning, on the unsuspecting owner, with enough force to cause them bodily harm or death. I am 100% convinced that if my mother had never purchased and owned this vehicle she would still be alive and well today. I am so very fearful that others will die as a result of this trunk design malfunction. I see so many of these cars, of the same make and model, out on the road during my daily commute. This is a hidden danger that puts many people's lives at risk.

    While driving my 2013 300s the lights on my dash began to flash. A few minutes later my radio cut off and would not cut back on. About a minute later I got a message on the dash that said "battery saver mode". I had no idea what was going on and all of a sudden my the car just shut down. I had no control over the car, no brakes, no steering... nothing. Luckily I was not in a position where I needed to avoid hitting other cars because I could not steer. I then started to smell burning rubber. After the car came to a complete stop the lights started flashing again and then the wipers came on. (They were not turned on.) The wipers slowed and then the car went totally dead (again). I Googled "battery saver mode" and saw that it was my alternator.

    I then saw that Chrysler had a recall out for their alternators so I called their recall center. I was told that, "Yes, there was a recall." And I had the right kind of car and the right engine but my alternator was 180 amps. (They only recalled the 160 amps.) I read most of the complaints and their experience was almost identical to mine. And I also read that there were people with the 180 amps had the same experience and was also told the same thing as I was told by Chrysler ("At this time we only have a recall out for 160 amp alternators. Save your receipt and if and when we do a recall on the 180 amps we will reimburse you.").

    REALLY!? My total cost was $1260 (alternator, battery and a belt). Come on Chrysler you know that these alternators are bad (both 160 and 180)! I guess until someone reports a death they won't recall the 180 amp. I would tell any buyer of the 300 to beware. I personally will never purchase a Chrysler again. (I have owned 2.) No matter how cool they look.

    I loved this car! Researched it endlessly until I found a used 300 in August 2013. I had 3 requirements: American made, V6 and AWD. At 8 months old with 15,000 miles, I found my dream car. I live in a remote, rural area and commute to work 42 mi one way, frequently take trips over mountain passes and have grandchildren with me all the time. I had this car serviced every 6 months and a alternator recall satisfied in June 2015.

    No other problems until December 7th, 2015. I started my car to warm it up for my morning commute to work (at 05:00), returned outside 5 minutes later and my car was on FIRE. Engine compartment and into drivers area burned to a complete loss. Distressed beyond belief, this has caused a hardship in commuting, but I'm thankful no one was hurt. The "IF's" are endless. I love this car so much that I really contemplated getting another one, but reading all these reviews and my god a FIRE, I probably will not. My insurance (State Farm) has been great in handling my loss.

    I have crazy problems with my Chrysler 300, they started last year. While I was approaching a "STOP" sign my car started to idle low, then it just shut off. I had my ASE Certified mechanic come to my house to diagnose the problem. No problems were revealed thru the diagnostic machine so he said to change my crankshaft sensor. I did that. It shut off again a few months later. I was told it my fuel pump might be going bad but usually when it goes, it just goes. So I was told to change the throttle body. That was done. My car shut off again. The crazy thing is if I sit for about a minute the car will start back up like nothing was ever happened. With all of this happening, no error indication lights ever come on. What the heck do I do next? Contact me, anybody, if you have experienced this and have a solution.

    I went to the dealership with a problem on my '08 300 erratically not starting, have taken it to 2 dealerships and was told to bring it in when the problem occurs, but if it is happening. I will be unable to get there, the dealership above on the last visit flashed my PCM and said that would fix it as they have seen the problem before. Less than 2 weeks later same issue and sometimes spending 20 minutes to get it running again.

    I have paid in best interests what was thought the issue was, but, having to try and go 2 weeks for an appointment and getting rental cars to get to work is ridiculous. I cannot pay for a laundry list of shoot and replace fix actions and when I asked for a credit for the work I had already had done, I was placed into a holding queue on the phone and eventually told they would schedule an appointment in 2 weeks.

    We traded in our Jeep for a beautiful 2015 Chrysler 300. I fell in love instantly. We got it home and realized it had a finger sized scratch on the trunk. Took it to the dealership to be fixed. Started driving home and all of sudden a door open alert started to turn on the lights in the front part of car and the locks started clicking and going crazy. We stopped and checked all the doors, once again this issue started again. Got it home and noticed a chip in the paint. And still had the same sensor issue when my husband sits in the passenger seat.

    1/2014 bought used 300C w 5.7 liter Hemi & all wheel drive. Every bell & whistle included. My dream machine. Had 11,000 miles on her. At 12,250 the alternator caught fire. Luckily it happened just as I entered the car wash!! Took it back to the dealer the next morning. Spent considerable time with the G.M. explaining how I didn't want this car. Owned 29 days at that time. The maintenance manager stepped into his office as we were talking and interjected that the wiring harness in the 300s is not heavy duty enough gauge wire to carry the charge. They replaced the alternator. Apparently they changed my oil as a courtesy, because the next morning following picking it up from the shop, it spilled a large pool of oil under the filter. They tightened the filter.

    In February, I took this car on the ferry down the inside passage to see my mom in California. Drove from Washington, to Idaho, to Oregon to Cali. The anti-lock brakes failed in Oregon. Once again it was in the shop where they relocated and replaced a fuse. I was notified that the timing chain had been recalled, so I drove back up the Alcan to Alaska & put it in the shop. Two weeks later I picked up my car and headed North to work. Three days into my new job, they asked me to run back to Fairbanks for parts. Of course I took my car, it had a navigator. Returning from Fairbanks the rear end of the car began jumping from side to side. I fought for control as it pulled me into the left oncoming traffic lane and over the shoulder where we rolled multiple times. The airbags failed to deploy even though the car was COMPLETELY totaled. The seat belt worked so good it torn right thru the tendon on my shoulder. We were lucky to be alive.

    Apparently there are thousands of these cars manufactured in 2010 that they failed to put a locking nut on the pinnacle bolt that holds the rear suspension on. The wheel broke from its suspension. I've had a major concussion for over 18 months and am just now trying to figure this all out. I'm disabled for life. No one returns my calls & I'm very angry. Help! Get these cars off the road before more innocent families are destroyed.

    I was excited about getting a Chrysler 300. Ever since they came out in 2005 I really wanted one so I got a 2006. I wish with what I know now I should have googled up some research from other previous Chrysler 300 owners. Well at any rate for months after I got the car I started hearing this tapping noise on the driver side under the hood in the engine. A friend of mine noticed it, a woman and the first thing she said was "is your car supposed to sound like that?" At any rate the car kept on making that noise. I took it to a mechanic - first thing he said was "buy another engine or get rid of this car." I tried adding Lucas Oil synthetic to it didn't solve the problem. Is sad that Chrysler put out a car like this and won't fix it.

    I still owed $8000 on the car and it would cost 3000 to replace the engine - no way. Thank God the car was repoed before it actually broke all the way down. I must honestly say I will never buy an American made car again. My best cars have been foreign vehicles. The Chrysler 300 year 2006 was a very grave disappointment for me.

    First I want to say that this car was my first 'big purchase' and I was immediately smitten with my 2010 300 touring AWD. It's definitely a head turner with the stock chrome wheels shining against the bold, blue metallic paint and it drives really smooth like a luxury car should - when everything is working. I purchased the car with 54k miles and since I had never owned a Chrysler before, took out an extended service contract, which I'm glad I did. Now the car is at 103k miles and I'm ready to part with it. Overall it hasn't been the nightmare some of you had, but my experience with the car make me really nervous to drive it with no warranty.

    First I noticed the 3.5 liter V6 engine drinks oil and I had to add a quart every 2k miles. I did some more research on the engine and learned I shouldn't be changing the oil at 5k like Chrysler recommends, but at 3k like older cars because of the potential for sludge build up (which causes the engines to blow). My first out of pocket expense (besides regular maintenance) came when a tie rod went out at 70k.

    Then, all was well until about 99k when 3 major events occurred. 1) The car started an unnerving grinding while accelerating when AWD was engaged. After being misdiagnosed at 2 independent mechanics and one other Chrysler Dealership, another Chrysler Dealership figured it out, just in time for the Powertrain Warranty to expire. I barely made it but they accepted a complete replacement of the output yoke and nut after removing the T-case which resolved the issue. 2) At the same time this problem was making my life hell, both the front and rear suspension went out, and my mechanic was surprised they wore down so quick. He had to fight tooth and nail with the Master Tech service contract to cover the expensive repairs, though ultimately he got only partial coverage.

    3) The infamous Airbag recall. I only found out about it after trying to trade it in to a Volkswagen dealership right which prevented me from trading it in. They told me there probably wasn't going to be a fix for quite a while and that Chrysler should have notified me of it. I was clueless up to that point and this was in June when I found out. Just last week 8/4/15 I got the letter from Chrysler telling me how concerned they are about their customers and their safety while this issue is being resolved, and yet they're telling people that they don't have the materials to fix this.

    I really do feel grateful that this is all I had to endure, but I had nowhere near these kind of issues with my old Park Avenue. Not once did that car require a complete suspension replacement (even at 250k miles), have any engine, powertrain problems, or safety concerns, and it didn't drink a drop of oil. Funny thing is though, when my dealership in town fixed my T-case issue weeks before, they were somehow able to fix the airbags as well. Sounds like some misleading information on Chrysler's end, though I'm just thankful I didn't get in a situation where the airbags deployed and caused a very horrendous death indeed. Overall, I'd say I came out lucky, though it was quite a headache these last couple months and if it weren't for the great service at my local dealership, I would've probably taken further action.

    I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring. The 2nd week we were stranded 3 1/2 hours away from home. After 2 more weeks, cab fare, hotel, rental car, and finally a towing charge for the car to be brought from that corn-fed country dealership to my neighborhood up-to-date dealership, the fuel pump was changed. I ended up writing a detailed letter to Chrysler's corporate office and to my surprise, they sent a check covering all my costs. No letter, no apology, just an envelope and check. Beggars can't be choosers, well maybe I did pay $35000 just four weeks ago.

    Fast forward 5 months starting to hear mystery noise (clunk) in the front end. Took car to dealership (under warranty), they changed tie rod ends. (Still clunked with each bump in road.) Over the next year and multiple appt., they changed upper and lower control arms, struts, entire steering rack twice. Finally they told me there was no more that they could do, it was just a bad design, please don't come back. (Seriously, LOL.)

    Took to another local dealership. Another year of motor mounts, tranny mounts, various Bushings. This dealer suggested me go on the interweb and see if I can find out if anyone else is having this issue. Well I found out that a lot of people were experiencing the same exact problem. I also have had to replace (some on warranty, some not) EGR valve three times, those idiotic tire air pressure valve on three rims, some sensor inside the tranny, the power control module, the power window switch panel on the driver side front. Need I mention that at one time or another, both rear doors would not open? Did I forget that it still goes clunkity-clunk even on test drives with perspective buyers?

    The second dealership that I go to for certain parts, the service guys all laugh at me for having a TRUE LEMON. Just one question - is it just me or do you guys and girls out there expect a transmission dipstick when you spend $35k on a car or is it cool to spend $30 bucks for one, plus $80 dollars for a laser thermometer to check oil temps? What happened to engineers...SERIOUSLY are these ones proud of this car? Chrysler has the best-looking but they are the worst mechanical I have ever worked on. It's actually funny nowadays 'cause all the tears are gone and screaming gives me a headache.

    I have had my 2006 300 awd touring for any a year now. I bought it from the dealer and had problems with a high pitch cry coming from the car after two weeks.

Four days later, I start out up and it's running super loud. I checked the oil and there was nothing in it with oil on the ground.

    Took it to a Firestone first who said it was burning oil. Looking for a second opinion, I took it to the Chrysler dealership and they said it was a loose plug causing the problem. Okay. Cool. Another week later, it's doing it again! Has anyone had their 300 do this to them? The dealership cannot figure out anything wrong with the engine.

    The very next day the car was making thud noise from rear end and tranny slip in 3 and 4th gear. I got back to dealer got rotors fixed and said they remapped computer and car was rid of the thud noise. This needed my repetitive mails to manager and Chrysler.

    My Chrysler 2006 awd which has 57,000 miles on it has started to act up from last year to now. What it does is the following... I am driving along, I make a right turn and going into the turn the steering wheel locks, the car stops moving... and the oil light comes on (got an oil change 3 weeks prior). I have to put the car in park force the steering wheel straight, turn car off... wait a sec... turn back on for car to drive/move again. In a span of an hour it happened to me 5 times as I was coming home from school the other night... thank goodness it was late and therefore had no cars up the rear of my car... but if I was on highway or rush hour my fear was of being the cause of a massive accident as the car just shut down while driving and foot is on the accelerator. Has anyone else had this problem? I called Chrysler corp they of course claim no one has complained about this before... which I believe to be total bunk!!!

    Since the car was new, with a 3.6L V-6 and 5 speed auto., when accelerating full throttle, the vehicle veers either direction. When the transmission shifts to 2nd and 3rd gears, It almost feels as if you're going to lose steering control, and go off the road. It's very unnerving. We've never complained to Chrysler about it. But it is getting serious. The car handles and drives great. It's just under full throttle acceleration when this problem happens.

    I bought the wagon new in 2007 and generally it has been excellent. No car remains fault free forever and all repairs and replacements have been within expectations. As a turbo diesel with that Mercedes engine, it is fast frugal and comfortable. A company in London re-mapped the ecu to give the same power as the 'S' class (Diesel) Mercedes (same engine). When the work was completed it gave 268 bhp and a potential of 155 mph. It has reached 135 mph and still accelerating strongly. The reason for the 're-map' was to give better gas mileage which increased by 12% and exceeding 48 mpg on long journeys at 70 mph, overall 32 mpg (Imperial gallon). Though the older 5-speed Mercedes auto transmission has no oil replacement scheduled it was deemed prudent to replace the ATF at 100,000 miles and a complete rebuild at 200,000 miles. Auto box problems continue from time to time but my local expert has modified the box lock up to confirm with (Expert) American. So all is well.

    I use the car as a taxi in London and it has occasioned more beneficial comment than any car I have owned. Passengers find it comfortable and generally remark on its scarcity around our capital city. The wagon is no longer made and that prevents me buying another. If Chrysler made another large wagon with a hybrid engine of similar performance it would go to the top of my list. I once owned a 1969 Chrysler Saratoga and drove it all the way from Medicine Hat to San Diego and back; it cost me then $100 to buy! (Canadian). They make great cars especially with the Mercedes Engine!

Occasionally this shift is quite hard which also causes the vehicle to lunge forward. If you are not expecting this, you could easily ram into the car in front of you. I purchased this vehicle in Feb 2014 and by April 2014 with 1500 miles the transmission completely failed and needed replacement. I have been back to the dealer now twice for the hard up and down shifts. This last visit was just this week. I took the Service Director on a test drive and, although he did experience the hard downshift, the dealer really couldn't determine the root cause. They did reflash the TPM and sent me on my way.

It is just the beginning. Your battery will die soon. Once you get it to the dealer (if you dare) they will find other "problems" that should have been detected prior to selling me a car driven only 6300 miles (i.e. Spent fuel pump, shot starter from having my car jump started over 14 times, several other adjustments supposedly to my alternator).

These little things might make a difference, but surely you don't need to replace your engine..

Just have to make sure do the tune ups and check your sensors as they will go bad. Chrysler 300's tend to have a lower idle than most engines..

"5" mechanics have worked the car including two Chrysler dealerships but no one can figure it out. But far more annoying than that - is the front suspensions seems to be held together by toothpicks.

    I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 Limited 3.5. I purchased this car September 2007, it was still under factory warranty. The check engine light came on and the car would lose power and become very sluggish but would not stall and when I continued to drive, the check engine light would eventually go out and the engine would began to perform like it suppose to. I took it to the local dealer, they said the problem was that the EGR valve was clogged. So they cleaned it and said that it was fixed. That repair lasted about a week and the same problem occurred again. The factory warranty has expired, this problem still exist today and over a period of time. The problem has worsened. The car now has a 127000 miles and another problem has joined in; the tire sensor light is now flashing repeatedly. This car has been a problem since the day I purchased it. I didn't have the money to continue to put into this problem. So I continued to deal with it, so this has been a constant problem to this very day now its gotten to the point where now I'm afraid to drive it.

    In 2006, I bought my Chrysler 300C brand new, fully loaded. Around 2010, it was one thing after another. First it was when I would try to shift to reverse, it would not move. I had to put it in park, then drive then reverse in order to back up. Next the electrical system would go berserk, lighting up the whole dashboard then going out completely. The braking system stinks. The car has a mind of its own sometimes. It will start right up sometimes with no problem. Later it won't even hum. The dealership where I bought this headache is the only one I let work on my car, and of course they can never find the problem or either they want to do a process of elimination at my expense. This car only has 60,000 miles and already they have done a transmission tune-up, the rotors have been replaced.

    When I fill the tank, I can't go to the F. It will cut off every time while driving. I can't drive for so long before the car get really warm inside, and no, the heat is not on. The dashboard is extremely warm to touch. I can't put this car on the road for fear that it'll cut off while on the highway. Chrysler needs to do right by the people and produce and maintain a product that people can trust.

    Only 1,000 miles after the purchase of my new 300, we started to get an issue with the fan recirculation button becoming disabled after only 5 miles of driving. My work schedule did not allow me to get it back to the dealership until after I had several K on the odometer, but after I had around 2500mi on the car the recirculation was becoming disabled after only 2 miles. We told all of this to the dealership, and after them having the car for 3 days, we were told this was "normal" operation for this function. We picked up the car frustrated and proceeded on a 600 mile road trip over the weekend.

    As we started, sure enough the recirculation quit and did not come back on for that entire day of driving. So as you could imagine, all the stinky diesel smell and pollen just poured into the car. The second day was the same, so after 600+ miles of driving in two days we only had our recirculation operable for 5, yes FIVE MILES! Nothing but migraines from the diesel fumes, and terrible allergies from pollen.

    After our trip we called the Chrysler Corp. (800-992-1997) and explained our circumstances. After being on hold they told use the same thing, this was normal operation. The following weekend we went back to the dealership and test drove 2 new 300s and 2 new Dodge Ram pick ups, and none of these vehicles had a problem with the recirculation after driving them all for 15 miles each. Go figure... We filed a complaint with then National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) in hopes to get some support for a recall. If you're having the same problem, we hope you do the same.

    Bought the car then noticed a few issue like paint peeling and plastic moldings on front windshield were fading from black to grayish white when was new. Complained about to no avail. Then other things started to break like all 4 door handles. That's a lot for a 4-door car like 100% failure. I have 6 other cars and trucks, the oldest being an '85 international truck and not 1 door handle is broke. But when I tell the dealership about these problems figuring they must be common, they try to tell me these aren't common problems. But what's the chance of having every door handle break on one car if it's not a failure on their part and now the car is running hot and the sunroof is leaking.

    I brought it in to who I assumed is the experts and they tell me the first time it was running hot because the radiator cap wasn't holding pressure and my contacts on the fans were corroded. So they fix that and adjust my sunroof. And I get it back and both problems still exist and they charged me almost $400.00 for the repairs. So I bring it back. They call me 3 days later and I say, "So what's the problem?" The service guy tells me, "Well, it could be any of 4 different issues and I say, "You can't run test to tell which part is the problem?" And he says there's no way to test the problem. So I say, "What do we do then?" and he says, "Well, we can change the cheapest part first which is the thermostat and if that's not it, then the radiator and if that's not it, then the water pump and if that doesn't work, the head gaskets."

    I say, "That's just part changing. You mean to tell me for one y'all have no way of testing to find out what the problem is with all the technology we have today? And not to mention y'all are the dealership, you would think they ran across this problem before. I have other misc issues also with interior like my radio works randomly but to sum it up, I feel the drivetrain is great but everything around it is pretty much not up to par is being kinder than I been treated in regards to this P.O.S. Don't know what good this will do but I guess this is why companies go under for nor not taking care of their customers after they get your money. And by the way, I didn't allow to part change and picked my car. They tried to charge me almost another $200.00 which I barked about and the best that did was the manager and me agreed to split the bill in half which I thought was BS but I just wanted out of there.

    I bought a Chrysler 300 two years ago and took it to several dealerships to have it repaired. No one in the 2 years and many attempts claimed it was a lemon. Finally I tried to reach Chrysler myself for help. They did not respond to me. It took weeks of complaining and finally a third party called to try to settle this issue. All I wanted back then was another car. By law, you are supposed to get your tax and license that you spent on the car back as well as what you paid for. Well, they would not give me my tax and license and I would not give them the pink to my car! I finally had to hire a lawyer to defend my rights as a consumer and I even filed with the State of California only to find out I was in the right to get my tax and license back.

    My car has sat in the dealership now for 4 months and Chrysler has not offered me my tax and license. They tried to get me to give up my pink to the car! Sneaky! You can't reach the corporate office to complain. All they have is an 800 to file a complaint. And if you have an attorney, good luck. Stand in line! I suggest that everyone read the lemon law when it comes to a new car and remember do not wait 2 years. Right after 3 times, file a lemon law case! I was patient, kind, and not upset but after the way Chrysler ignored me, it has not made me happy and I now want what I deserve in the Court of Law and I will see them in court.

    My 2008 Chrysler 300 runs great. Well maintained, oil change every 3000 and so on. Loved the car. One day, 2+ weeks ago, it refused to start. Dealer diagnosed a dead WIN module - the part inside the ignition switch that reads the code from the key fob. Car is out of warranty, so the part is $125. That's entirely okay. Also - because the WIN and the keys must be programmed together, I need two new keys at $225 each. Total bill with labor will be about $825.Okay, I say with teeth gritted, that's the price we pay for supposedly having cars stolen less often. However: the part is on a 2-4 week back order. Not okay. Renting a car for two to four weeks will push the cost for this one failed part well past $2500. I called Chrysler for help. They listened for a few minutes and utterly refused to help in any way. To sum up - the car is undrivable and I'm racking up car rental charges, because Chrysler can't manage their supply chain well enough to provide a $125 part for a car that was produced in large numbers through the 2010 model, and is still produced today with a body redesign.

One year Chrysler dealership where car was purchased tells me car is only worth $8,000.00 with working engine or less than $3,000.00 with broken engine.

    I bought a brand new 2007 Chrysler 300 back in July 2007. Loved it then! In Feb. 2008, my power steering kept having problems. Always changed the oil at 3000m (still have all documents), performed routine brake pads/etc., tires, etc. Sometimes, the gear shift is hard to put in gear. Every time I get an oil change, the mechanics add power steering fluid. The sound goes away for a little while and always comes back. The worse though, happened today. I am approx. 1300m overdue for an oil change. Mind you, these newer cars are supposed to be good until 5000m oil changes (according to my regular mechanics at Firestone). End of May 13, when I had the last oil change, I advised the mechanics that I was going to be going on a trip the next day (approx. 2+ hrs away) and they told me I needed a new tensioner belt. Cost $280. Ok, done.

    Today I'm driving, my car starts having acceleration problems. Now my oil light pops on last night for maybe two minutes then goes off. Didn't think much of it. I call Firestone, tell them I need an oil change (thinking this is what is wrong) and they tell me to come right in. Almost there, I smell something burning. As I get closer to the dealership (this is all within 5 miles), my car starts knocking. I pull in, they come out (4 of them) and come back in and tell my engine is fried because there is no oil. Now, I have no oil leak stains in my driveway nor where I work. WTH? How does this happen? Like I said.. I'm only 1300m past the 3000m oil change mark for older cars. WHAT? I am so upset.

    They are telling me that the minimum cost to get a rebuilt engine is over $2000! Who has that kind of $ laying around? I work full time, single mom/grandmother that can't afford that. Now what do I do? Lose my job? This is ridiculous! I loved this car! Usually rides great and looks beautiful. Now I'm stuck and only 7 more months of payments and it would have been paid off! I was trying to buy a house with my saved $ from not having car payments. I guess I can kiss that dream goodbye! Thanks Chrysler! Very disappointed. Over the 100,000 power train warranty so I'm ** out of luck. The mechanics told me that they have heard from many people with this car that they also had to replace engines. :0(

    I purchased a 2008 Chrysler 300 in Dec 2011 from Bob Penkhus (first problem, never buy from Bob Penkhus, they are liars!!) and noticed the squeaky power steering noise. Was told the extended warranty was mandatory or they would get me a loan at 15% interest although all of the paperwork stated optional. I am extremely disappointed in the service I have received from Bob Penkhus and the lies that they have told just to sell a car at sticker price.

    After 2-3 oil changes they told me that they tightened the power steering again because they think it is broken. I heard the same squeaking noise again that I heard when I first drove it off the lot. Now I realized it was broken all along and just tightened as a temporary fix when I purchased the car back in Dec of 2011. Finally the power steering rack and pump broke completely where it is almost not drivable and extremely embarrassing to hear that loud noise every time I turn the wheel.

    I took the car to Bob Penkhus and I have been waiting for 4 months for the part they say is on national back order. They also said there are a handful of Chrysler 300s that are not drivable due to his issue. Why was I sold a car with a broken power steering rack? Was it on back order back then and that's why it was never fixed or did they put a temporary fix on it just to be cheap?

    Still waiting for it to be fixed to this day but on top of that, now the car will not accelerate when the accelerator pedal is engaged. In the middle of the road, it will not drive (as if the car goes into neutral) and I have to put the car in park, turn it off, and then back on again for it to work again. Imagine making a turn in front of traffic and the car loses acceleration half way through the turn! Scary! Then on top of that, all of the warning lights illuminate for no reason, the gas, oil, airbag, engine, tire pressure, etc. ALL off the dash warning lights on at one time in the middle of driving! So again I stop put it in park and turn it off then back on again.

    I took my car to Bob Penkhus, they took it to another Bob Penkhus, then they took it to Chrysler because they couldn't figure it out. I've been without a car for going on a week and a half now. They are finally saying that it is the Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit that is causing the low response when the accelerator pedal was engaged. Yet they want to charge me for 2 deductibles since the power steering rack is still on back order, although everything is wrong at once. They should charge me 1 deductible and fix it all once the parts arrive. They refuse to do that yet they offered to not fix anything at all until the power steering rack comes in, which who knows how many more months or years that is going to take. I feel that they don't care that mine and my family's safety is a concern.

    So many issues and it's been only a year and a half. The outside of the car looks great! I have invested so much into this car such as a adding Chrome Rolls Royce Phantom grill, chrome pillars and tail light cages, mirror covers, vent porthole, etc. but the problems I am having with it are not worth it. I have a family and I will not drive them around in an unreliable car. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!

    They fixed the deductible on the maintenance plan from $150 down to $100 like I was told when purchased. Vehicle VIN was entered into the service computer and am now enrolled in preferred customer service group. Maintenance records have been updated to include current recall completed/serviced. Only way I could resolve the financing switch was to go through the hassle of a re-fi to a credit union of my choosing. I'll keep watching for offers an re-fi at a later time.

Financing paperwork showed up from Capital One, not the credit union.

    I purchased a 7-year/100k maintenance policy and was told it had a $100 deductible. When policy documents arrived, deductible was $150. Car had 18,650 miles when purchased. I registered the vehicle on Chryslers' owner website. Website stated only maintenance completed since 6k mileage was an oil change and an electrical problem fix. Website showed existing recall for a reprogram of the PCM/TCM. Nothing was updated reflecting the 500-point certification vehicle check. When I brought this to the Service Advisor's attention during recall repair, he told me it wasn't his problem and to go see my salesman. As part of purchase, Sales Manager agreed to provide a full tank of gas. It didn't happen.

    When car was ready for delivery, seats were covered in either animal hair or brush bristles. Armor All was pooled at the bottom of the gauges. The steering wheel had been Armor All'd. Headliner by the driver's window was stained. I was told I had to pay for another detail.

    On Saturday, 3/09/13, I went to drive my car and as I was shifting the gear shift, I found that it would not move. I went to look on the internet to see what I could do to get the gear to move. I went on a site and it gave information on the problem and a recall. I called Chrysler and I was told that my vehicle (vin) was not part of the recall. I took it to the dealer and paid $300 and had it repaired. I'm really pissed because the very part that the recall was for was what the dealer replaced at a cost. I need my money returned asap or I'm going to sue Chrysler for knowingly putting a faulty part in a car and not replacing it.

    My Chrysler 300 only has 42,000 miles on it. The shift gear broke and it was not a part of the recall. This is a ongoing problem and the cost is unbelievable. It cost $399 to replace it. Very displeased with Chrysler for not covering the cost since so many people have the same issue and so many have been recalled!

    The first of two remote keys discontinued working on my 2008 Chrysler 300 Touring. I didn't replace it because I couldn't afford $300 quoted to me at the Chrysler dealership here in Shelby. I had completely forgotten that I still had an effective warranty and was never asked if I had a warranty. Later I was at the mall and tried to use the second remote key, and it wouldn't work either. I called the Chrysler dealership, and they told me to have my car towed there, which I did.

    They were able to re-program another remote key for my car that day. I had no other transportation and would have been very inconvenienced if I had not been able to get same-day service. However, it costs $545.45. When I got home, I got out my paperwork and realized the warranty was still effective. I called the warranty company and was spoken to very rudely, being told that I couldn't just have my car repaired and then call them and expect them to send me a check. I will never purchase another car warranty from this company.

    Why hasn’t Chrysler recalled the 300 for tie rods? I’m sick and tired of spending money every year for the same damn thing. So far, this year, this will be my second time getting a tie rod job done on my car. I used to love driving my car. Now, I just leave my car in the garage. I’m afraid my tie rods may go out again.

As soon as I can get rid of this car, I will. It’s a beautiful car on the outside but I had to put so much work in the front bearing, idler arms front and rear, problem with the cooling system and so on. I can't do it anymore and I do want another one, but I will not give myself a headache. The automaker already knows what problems they are having, I would hate to think that they just don't care. In closing, do a better job before all of your support goes out the window.

    I went to get into my Chrysler 300 on Friday. The car cranked just fine but would not go out of park. The local dealership helped me locate the plastic release but no results. I had to have the car towed to the dealer and since it’s AWD, it required skids in moving the vehicle while tires locked into place (since obviously could not be put into neutral). The dealer called and the repairs were not under extended warranty and cost almost $500.00. I did some research and found that this is a documented problem with a cheap pink plastic piece that should disengage the brake lock! The end result, knowing that this is part of the problem, Chrysler sells the shift assembly at considerable expense to the owner. I filed complaint with Chrysler but of course, no recall, no assistance. This is my 3rd Chrysler vehicle and I have never been so disappointed. They want us to buy American but why do they revert to using such an obvious cheap part that is vital to the car running! Stand by your product Chrysler, recall and repair the assembly and quit leaving your customers stranded!

    I bought a brand new Chrysler 300 Touring in 2007. I changed a tire in approximately 2009 with no problems. I can no longer use my lug wrench since I was told by the Chrysler mechanic that the lug nuts are aluminum on the outside and swell over a period of time. I was told that I need a 22 1/2 mm socket which I cannot find anywhere. A 22mm socket works on some of the lug nuts, but is too small for three of the lug nuts on the R/F tire that I need removed to change out my outer tie rods. A 23mm socket is too big, therefore, I need a 22 1/2mm socket. I feel that Chrysler should replace all 20 of my lug nuts on my vehicle at their cost, not mine. This is frustrating. Can you help me?

    The extended warranty we purchased on August 23, 2004 for our 2005 Chrysler 300 expired last August 23, 2011. The vehicle is 7 years old and has 66,000 miles on it. It is in extremely good condition. Exactly two weeks from the date the warranty expired, the shift would move out of the park position. We found that information online indicated that this is an on-going problem with Chrysler 300s and Dodge vehicles; some Chrysler vehicles were recalled, but ours was not.

    We had the vehicle towed to the auto shop. We requested a refund from Chrysler for $187.00 ($84.00 for the part and the remainder for labor). We did not take the vehicle to the local Chrysler dealership because we were told that the part would be $200 for the part plus labor. The licensed mechanic that repaired our vehicle completed the repair at a fraction of the cost of the local dealership.

    I contacted Chrysler by mail; they gave my complaint case no. **. I received a phone call from their representative, Lynn **, their Complaint Case Manager, who said that there was a recall for some Chrysler 300s for this problem, but the recall depended upon where the car was produced. She requested a copy of the invoice and proof of payment, both of which were scanned and immediately sent. Less than a half hour later, she called to say Chrysler would refund the $84 (price of the part), but would not refund the labor cost because the vehicle was not repaired by their dealership. I told her she could keep her $84. If we had taken it to the Chrysler dealership, we would have paid three times the amount and with Chryslers history of not walking their talk, they wouldn't have paid for that either. During the time of our worthless extended warranty, nothing was covered, so we really didn't expect anything new from Chrysler. They continue to receive complaints and treat their customers unfairly.

    My 2006 Chrysler 300 with 55,000 miles needs a gear shift assembly costing me parts and labor close to $500. In addition to the towing costs, since my car was stuck in park, the same part was recalled with a customer satisfaction recall #k39 for some Magnums, Chargers and Chrysler 300s. Apparently, mine was not one of the specific bins that were part of the recall. Yet, I still have a defective part that broke exactly where the recall bins were said to break. Also in the last few months, I had to replace a third brake light assembly.

    I just don't understand how the parts described above need to be replaced after only 5 years. They are not parts that can be controlled by how I drive or maintain the car. Chrysler will not assist with the costs because I am the second owner and it is over 50,000 miles. Apparently, Chrysler will not stand behind their cars even when they know that some parts are defective.

    My complaint is about the ridiculous price the dealers are wanting for new and used Chrysler 300s. Chrysler hasn't learned from their past mistakes about overpricing vehicles just because they're popular. Dealers try to gt every penny, while cheating the customer on the value of a trade in and then selling it for the price that they refused to give the customer when trading. I know this is sales, but you think that Chrysler would have learned from the mistakes of the 70s and 80s and 90s and not make the same errors in the 21st century. Soon the 300 will revert to a try hard to sell car like the New Yorker and the Imperial were from Chrysler overpriced past. I just want to be one of many I'm sure that has noted to Chrysler that their newest mistake is coming soon.

I even used 93 octane gas thinking maybe I just got bad gas but that's not it. This first started in March 2009 and I took it to Berlin Chryler and they could not diagnose the problem because it did not occur when the vehicle was in their possesion. The vehicle did not start the stalling again until April 2009 and once again I took the vehicle to Berlin Chryler but again, they could not diagnose the problem. For two month after that it did not stall, then at the end of June did it again, Since Berlin Chryler was no longer an authorized Chryler dealer, I had to take it to Mt. Ephraim Chryler. Unfortunately, the vehicle did not stall for them so they could not diahnose the problem. How woud you like to drive a vehicle that stalls periodically when your at a traffic light or stops sign? It's a very unsafe feeling. Each time I took it to the dealer and they could not diagnose the problem because the vehicle did not stall when they had it. Now it's happening again and I'm past my 36,000 mile warranty. It's been documented 3x's that I've taken in for this problem. I do not want to incur any cost to once again attempt to diagnose and repair the problem. I'm waiting for confirmation so I can make an appointment @ Mt. Ephraim Chryler since I spoke to service advisor on 10/29 and he advised I call Chryler 1st which I did and spoke to a rep who could not give me a difinitive answer. I then sent 2 e-mails to Chryler which I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
