You are in the Chrysler 300/300C/300C SRT-8 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Hello FROM Las Vegas - Lady "QtKitty"!  I have had my eyes on the 300'S for a few years now and today I am trading my 2006, "PT" for a 2006, 300 TOURING. * I checked the RECALL list and I wanted to know if any other TOUR-06- OWNERS had something to add, any other serious glitches you may know of that I should have checked out as well.  * Also do you know if in order for these things to be checked does it have to be at Chrysler or can it be done any where? I only ask because the car is located at a Lincoln Dlrshp.

Replying to: qtkitty (Mar 12, 2008 11:29 am) Service (under warranty) can be had at ANY Chrysler OR Dodge dealership. I would recommend any 5 Star rated dealership over a non-rated dealership. I don't know of any dealerships that sell Lincoln/Ford/Mercury that also have a Chrysler/Dodge franchise, but maybe they do exist. Otherwise, you probably need to find a Chrysler/Dodge dealership to service your Chrysler under warranty. You can take it just about anywhere for routine maintenance such as oil changes, radiator flushes, brakes and tires.

| I have a buzzing/whine sound coming from the inside the dashboard at speeds of 75 mps to 100 mph (depending on the day and I think head wind). I verfied that their are no air leaks around the windshield. Also removed the cowl and windshield wipers and still the noise was present. The dealership technician won't test drive the car since it occurrs over the speed limit and will not let me show then. The service agent went with me and he heard it and he thinks it is mechanical. Could their be something with the speedometer (although I would expect this to be constant with speed). Could it be something in the climate control system? The technician and I talked about it and he says everything checked out ok at the dealership and that there is nothinf mechanical behind the dashboard. Any thoughts? | |

| After years of having Hondas and loving them, my husband and I loved the appearance of the Chrysler 300. Beautiful car! No real complaints about anything until I needed to go somewhere last week and needed to use my navigational system that I hardly use. Working only 1.5 miles from work, I don't have to use the navigational system often. Well, I take it to the authorized Chrysler Dealer in Inglewood California (at Carmax), whose service already lacks professionalism, but that's where I had to go. I tell them the problem that my "toggle switch to select streets, cities, etc. on the navigational system will not allow me to select anything". To my surprise I was informed that I needed to replace the entire radio and navigational system on the vehicle because just the toggle switch, or Knut as they call it, can't be replaced. I just about flipped my lid when they gave me the estimate receipt, $3,089. So the radio works fine, the cd player works fine, the navigational system works fine, if they can just fix the darn knob that's needed. Anyway, they assured me that the knut was stripped and that was my only option and informed me also "this is a common problem for this vehicle". I just want those considering to purchase a Chrysler 300 to know of this "common problem". I think it's ridiculous that my car, which only has 25,000 miles and a pretty much unused navigational system (perhaps used once a month) is in need a completely new system because a Knut can't be fixed. This has definitely put the icing on the cake for me. Dealing with poor service is one thing, but being told that this is a common problem on these cars and expected to fork out nearly 3100 is another thing, seems this needs to be RECALLED. Efforts to solve through problem through Chrysler Corporation is difficult. You talk to one person and give them the entire scenario, get disconnected as they call Carmax to speak to a manager to get full details on my problem. When I call back I have to start FROM SCRATCH with a totally new person. No return calls, no assistance. Going back to Honda is sounding much better to me. I also noticed the the entire in the Chrsyler is wearing fast. Mind you, I don't have kids or pets. I had my last car 11 years and no tears in upholstery at all. | |

Replying to: camcam (Feb 02, 2008 8:57 am) I also experience a vibration in the steering wheel when on the freeway at speeds between 55-60 mph. I inquired on this forum about it and found a few people with the same problem. It is typically the torque converter. The vibrations can be eliminated with a computer flash update and in some instances a new torque converter.

hello...new to site....own 2005 300 (hemi) (silver) brand new from showroom floor and have always loved the car. However, I am on the 3rd transmission (under warranty) and now I am getting scared .. 1. It happen again 2. Not be under warranty 3. Chrysler not care. And after reading some of the blogs it appears this will come true. I may be looking for a new car or suv...recommendations, suggestions or comments. Thanks, donna
