| I just purchased a Certified-Previously-Owned (CPO) 2006 300C. I've only had it 4 days but have confirmed the Autostick feature is not working properly. It will downshift, but it is impossible to upshift (i.e., pressing the stick to the right does nothing). The only way to force it back into normal Drive is to put it in Neutral and then put it back into Drive. Weird...it's going to the dealership tomorrow to be repaired but was wondering if anyone had seen this before (am surprised they sold it as CPO like this!). But I LOVE the car. | |

Alright, I have had enough with this car. I have purchased the car on May 31 and have had nothing but problems with it since. Here are the following problems: - tranny jerks when going from park to reverse. - tranny shifts hard when going from 1st to 2nd. - car nearly stalls when stopped at a stop light **this only happens after the car is warm, a/c is running, vehicle is in drive, brake is applied** I have been able to get this problem to happen with my sales rep but the service manager tried to tell me today that it is from the cooling fan kicking in. - rear windows won't go down when needed - intermediate problem - the car won't shift when accelerating to get on the highway. I take that back, it does shift only after I let off the gas or the car red-lines. Of course the dealarship is located in a downtown setting and it is several cumbersome miles to get to the highway. - cd has been stuck in the nav system *that was replaced today with a refurbished only to have the scrolling stick not work. - car pulls to the right *dealership has adjusted but still pulling. - brakes seem to be spongy most of the time, however, sometimes when applied they seem to add an extra force for no reason. Specs: miles 2967, purchased May 31, 2006, price 36,070.00 (sticker price), satisfaction with service and follow up: NONE, still waiting to receive my loan information (I have already made 2 payments), still waiting to receive title and plates (temporary plates expired June 30, 2006), Number of days in the shop: 5, total number of hours on the car 93:25:49. Does anyone have any interest or suggestions?! Thanks!

| I purchased my 2005 300 in Dec 04. At 5,000 miles my ESP/BAS light would come on (light goes off when you restart the car). I took the car to my dealer 4 times throughout the next year only to be told they could not find any codes so nothing was wrong (of course the light never came on for them). I took it in last Thursday and the dealer claimed to manually go through the entire ESP system and found no problems. The light came on three days later and I immediately took the car to the dealer and showed them the light was on! They "claimed" to find the problem, there was faulty wiring on the steering sensor which they replaced and checked the system which in their words was fine. 45 minutes after I left the dealership the light came back on, so I immediately took the car back. My car has 37,000 miles, this started at 5,000 miles and the dealer can not figure it out. Has anyone else had this problem?? | |

Replying to: neene (Aug 03, 2006 9:23 am) forum had alot of problems with his car and asked for a buy back and got it.I did it in 2001 on a Chrysler Sebring.With a buy back you don't lose money like you would with the lemon law.I would go to your service manager and explain the problems you have had and see what he can do to start the process.Good Luck. |

I have an 05 Touring and I experienced this issue both at idle and every morning upon starting the car. The problem was a buildup of carbon on top of the piston heads. This resulted in a lack of compression in the combustion chamber resulting in, of coarse, rough idle when at a stop. The dealership decided to do a combustion chamber cleaning, fuel injection cleaning and rotated my valve springs. Now the car is very smooth again- no rough idle even with the A/C on. Sometimes I feel a very slight engagment of the air conditioner turning on but not an more then any other car i've driven. I'm wondering if anyone else has sort of a rough shift out of park, especially in cold weather- sometimes it jerks forward, any advice would be appreciated. Even with the few problems I've had i like the car. "Anyone that builds good cars, Can build bad!"
