| just curious if anyone has tried doing something with the window mechanisms on their 300s. has anyone tried setting theirs up so all the windows have the auto-up/down feature a lot of other new cars have? i really like doing the one touch thing, but not sure whats involved on the 300m. thanks | |

| trav i was lookin into this too. drove around my dads car and it had all four windows auto up and auto down. its a small thing but really convenient. anyway goto www.autoloc.com and grab some information. they have kits for not that much money that you can self-install. its not tough. gimme about a month and i am gonna order mine so we can get discount if we buy two..... | |
| I had the same problem after about 6000 miles with my 300M. Have you had your tires rotated? If so, there is a possibility the guy actually knocked one of your rotors out of round. You probably notice the problem when braking from high speeds and there might be a slight tug in one direction when beginning the braking. I had to have my rotors turned to correct the problem. Then ask you dealer to test how tight the lugs are on the rim with a torque wrench. If the torque is not equal the the tire and rim can actually cause the rotor to go out of round over a period of time. Also, have them check the tires. If you have the Goodyear tires, then you may have problems. Mine have been problematic since I have owned the car. I am going to replace them, but I don't know with which ones yet. | |

| just like Doc, I too live in NJ and it has been in the mid to upper 90's for the last couple of weeks. I keep a sunshield on my window too, but my steering wheel literally has impressions of my palm at the 9 o'clock position and finger/palmprints at the 12 o'clock position. Going to go to my 5* dealer this weekend for an oil change...I'm going to bring up the steering wheel at that time. Sorry...there's just no excuse for "leather" to melt and no, I have not treated it with anything. | |
| I recently got a new wheel, just before the warranty expired. The old one turned black (grime?) and the leather started deteriorating. No mush, no dents, just started peeling almost. The car seldom sits in the sun, we have a parking deck at work. Central Illinois is humid more often than not. I have the light taupe interior so the wheel is that camel color. How are the black wheels holding up? | |

I had the dirt-grime problem. The wheel never peeled or deteriorated, but I could never keep it clean. Maybe the leather-like stuff reacts with sweaty palms?? Who knows? Since there was no real structural damage I never pursued it under warranty. What I did do was get a wheelskins real leather cover. These covers are great. They are thin enough that you can still feel all the finger grips bumps right through the leather and the real leather feels and looks great. Don't confuse these with Wally-Mart covers. For those of you who are out of warranty, or still under but would like to protect your existing wheel, this is definitely worth trying. www.wheelskins.com |

| I don't know if this is dealer BS but I remember asking why our cars didn't have this feature and the dealer said it was a "safety" issue, i.e. DC didn't want little kids playing with the windows and chopping their heads off....LOL! | |
| My Basslink power stays on for around 10 minutes even if I am using the line level inputs & radio on/off signal. | |
|
i know there are some here who also own sebrings, so give me the up and up on this car. i'm sure the 300m is worth the extra 8k. but is the sebring sedan worth 21k. i'm helping my sis decide she loves my car but doesn't want my payments |

Phases78..how did you remove the lettering off the back..and did you remove off the side? I was thinking there has to be a way to bore out the 0 on the 300 to fit over the key hole, then place that entire thing right in the middle.. that would look cool huh? Thanks..Mike |
