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!"

Okay, I bought my 300C July 16, 2006 CPO with 16,000 Miles on it. I have 18,300 now and the car is scheduled to go into the shop again this Friday, I was just wondering if anyone were having these issues as well: * Auto-Up feature on Driver's side works when it wants to (working right now), Dealer couldn't duplicate the problem * Alignment jerks to the left & right * Slight vibration through steering wheel (even on smooth roads, especially at highway speeds) * Tranny jerks a bit when coming out of park to reverse or reverse to drive * Sometimes tranny jerks (slightly) while driving * If I were to accelerate then let go of the gas pedal I have a "severe" downshift and loose my transmission for like 30 seconds. When I hit the gas the car does nothing but "rev" up and slow down. * Radio won't come in first 30 seconds, started doing this just the other day, but now it comes on right away. * Molding striping on roof coming loose (getting these replaced, they have them in now) I like the looks and features of this car, but at this point I’m sort of frustrated with some of these issues and I may not buy another Chrysler product. (This is my first Chrysler product, my co-workers warned me about Chrysler, I should’ve listened!) |
