On1Wheel --I have now had two of these brackets break as you describe. I bought a new glass the first time but am thinking of welding it like you did.
JB Weld glue did not hold.
 How did the welding hold for you and is is hard with a MIG wire welder? thanks Roger

Steering issues by markflores28

i just purchased a 99 chrysler 300 m, car has ran great for about a week now, but unfortunatly all good things come to an end i guess.. yesterday i started noticing whenever i hit my breaks, and have to make a left or right turn, or even a u- turn of some sorts steering wheel becomes very tight and i have to use all my might and both hands to turn vehicle, it feels as if power steering goes out, However as long as im driving and not hitting breaks the steering works just fine, which makes me think its not the power steering but something to do with the breaks somehow... this trouble all started to occur yesterday after i had parked my car for a moment to run into the store, i did put on my emergency break because the parking space was at a slight tilt. when i drove away from that store the trouble began.. can anyone please help me?

My 99 chrysler 300m has steering issue.. the only time i can feel power steering working is when im hitting the gas on my car, if not hitting gas on the car, steering becomes very stiff and have to use two hands and alot of force to turn steering wheel, what can this be?

Yea, unfortunately this have been a common issue with with these vehicles alone with all of the lights flashing off and on in the car, hard starting due to the ignition coils, etc....
Sounds like ur troubles could be a power steering pump or rack, but get these items checked out first (p/s pump filter and hose, p/s pump pulley, p/s reservoir, and the p/s pump) make sure there is adequate fluid. U may go this website for more info:
 
www.carsteering.com/chrysler_300m_steering_rack.htm also look at these sites from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration;
www.recalls.gov, www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars.
 
If the steering rack or pump is the problem and u do not have an extended warranty, u can figure on paying between $650 - $850.00 at ur local auto repair.
Hopefully this is helpful

Commong Chrysler 300M Problems? by mnewelski

Hello!
 
I am considering buying a 2000 300M, but I am not sure about how much trouble they really are. It has quite a lot of KMs on it, so that adds to "the joy". Could anybody help me with listing some most common 2000 300M problems along with symptoms? I bought a Lincoln LS without doing my homework and I've spent quite a lot of cash on fixing it already, so I want to be careful this time.
 
Thanks a lot! All help will be appreicated!

Anyone have an employee choice burning a hole in their pocket yet for 2007. Going in to lease a Chrysler on Monday and would love to use it!

I assume you mean an employee/retiree discount? I usually used the green sheet full employee discount from my Chrysler retiree father when he was alive but one year when our 87 Caravan had konked out and we needed to buy a car in a week, he'd used up his one purchase per year green sheet on another family member so we had to use his "friends and family" discount instead. It turns out per our dealer that was still around 10% off MSRP, pretty good. I found out surviving spouses can't use the green sheet (my father died a year ago and we bought a new Grand Cherokee this Fall) so I went with the Chrysler Affiliates program via my employer who is a Chrysler supplier and that also was about that same % discount, and then a $4k rebate beyond that as well saved us over $7500.
 
One suggestion if no one comes through with the coupon or you can't get the affiliates: check with your banks or credit unions. Or do you belong to Sams Club? I heard from a guy a few years back they offered some type of service. I am sure there are places out there and with car sales pretty tanked out buying the last day of the month these dealers gotta be chomping at the bit unless you are buying a hot seller vehicle. Good luck!

10th flat tire by donnie

I've owned a 2000 300M since Feb. '01, and I have just had my 10th flat tire. No sign of a nail or screw---just lost air. Same thing on all the others. Is there something wrong with the alloy wheels? Would appreciate some input. Thanks

Yes many brands and styles of aluminum alloy wheels have the problem especially during changing temperature conditions. So far in 4 years no problem with my 300M but my son's 99 Ford had a ton of problems when he ground some dirt in and no matter what the Discount Tire did it took 5 trips to the shop to fix it. The final fix usually involves wire brushing and in that case NOT the black goop but a white almost looked like plumbers putty thick pencil on the rim to get a seal.
 
Do some searches around the web, google, TireRack.com to get more ideas but it is a very common problem (and thanks for posting on this forum, it's been pretty dead lately).
