The whole point of Nitrogen is to stop the slow leaks that are inevitable. Many aluminum rims or valves will slowly leak air. Nitrogen molecules are larger then oxygen, so they don't have that same opportunity to leak through the rims, etc.
 
They say better mileage because a properly inflated tire will provide EXTREMELY MARGINALLY better mileage. This is based on the assumption that you have regular air in your tires, and DON'T check the pressure to make sure it is up.
 
32lbs nitrogen or 32lbs regular air will provide the exact same ride, and the exact same gas mileage.
 
SO.....check your tires frequently and fill with whatever is available.

#4896 of 4908 'Outtie' Door Dings by brownie12

Sep 07, 2011 (8:18 pm)

I had an "outtie" door ding appear suddenly one day just after opening and closing the driver's window on a New 2011 Chrysler 300C. I thought I had been hit by a shopping cart, but my dent doctor said it was an 'outtie' and that something in the door panel dented the door from the inside. Most likely a loose screw or other part from the window regulator. The dent doctor fixed the dent, but, the Chrysler dealer could not find the cause after removing the interior trim panel covering the window regulator. There was another panel underneath this one, but they did not remove it. They did take out the window and could not see anything that would hit the door.
  
Anyone have any experience with something like this? I had one once before on the trunk of my Mercedes when I put a large suitcase in the trunk and slammed the trunk shut without realizing the interference.
  
Any help would be appreciated.

#4897 of 4908 300C Executive - When? by bhill2

I have heard rumors about an upcoming Executive edition with dramatically upgraded interior and, I think, exterior trim. Does anyone know if it is still coming, and when? Also, when will they have the 8-speed trans with the V-8?

Since I purchased my Chrysler 300 Touring used, it has never been in an accident, right off the bat it had problems. It was under a warranty, kept taking it to the dealership, they kept telling me there was nothing wrong, warranty expired, took car to my mechanic plus another reputable repair shop and found out this vehicle had problems which include tire rods, strut arms, lwr control arm, shift cylinoid, light that lit up the nag/cd/radio etc., went out, not a fuse problem, but elec pblm, and the list goes on. It appears that the dealrshp new the prblms but wld not take care of it. Went bk to dlrshp and voiced my concerns/issues, but to no avail. I've already paid out $$$$ on this vehicle. Filed a complaint w/BBB. Chrysler has no recall or silent recalls on these vehicles. One would think there would be w/all of the pblms w/these vehicles. Something shld be done. Unless all these owners have $$$$ to throw away...I do not. I feel I have bght a lemon, but this same dlrship continues to say these cars R top of the line. REALLY. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING. In my town, the employees of this dlrshp R not driving these TOP OF THE LINE Vehicles they R trying to sell their customers. Sign Will Not Buy Another One if You paid me $$$$$$. I am still paying off this car.

Does anyone know when (and if) they are going to do this upgrade? I just read in R/T that it won't be here at the introduction of the 2013 models.

Has anyone got a AWD and do you like it, and what kind of mpg do you get?

#4903 of 4908 Special Edition? by Stever@Edmunds HOST

If you bought a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or Fiat "special edition" model in the past year or so - or if you are a dealer who sold one - a reporter would love to hear about it. Please email PRedmunds.com no later than Wednesday, October 10, 2012 with your daytime phone number and a brief description of the car and your experience with it.

Bought the car in April 2012 and had a computer recall on the car. They reprogrammed the computer a month later and it ran good until 2 days ago. Parked car at a store and when I returned to car it would not start. Every warning message that it had came up on screen including one that said pull off to side of the road that transmission may fail to shift and another said that the brake system might fail and cease working.
Has anyoneelse had this problem and what was the repair. Dealer is holding car per-Chrysler because they can not figure what is wrong. With no key faub in or around car the windshield wipers stayed on and lights stayed on.
