#1095 of 1124 Problems with 300C by mrwright06 Aug 15, 2006 (5:20 am)
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!)

Replying to: mrwright06 (Aug 15, 2006 5:20 am) --My Auto-up "fails" probably once a month. I just re-check in the manual the reset procedure and drive off. Never asked the dealer to look into it. --What you're probably feeling is an overly sensitive front end. See some of the previous posts. The car is very sensitive to road crown and unevenness. If you are a light touch driver you will likely overcorrect and only make the situation appear worse. Hold 'er steady and just enjoy the ride. --Sometimes the shifting is less smooth than expected, especially when motor/transmission is cold. Hasn't caused a problem in 23K miles. --I think what you're experiencing is called transmission windup. Happens to me only with a fast accel and only when I lift off abruptly in 1st or 2nd gear. That's a characteristic of the Mercedes transmission (and probably the problem of having to deal with all the torque). The only solution is to train your right foot...or maybe use the Auto-Stick when you think you're going to be putting yourself into that situation. --Might be similar to the loss of volume problem experienced by some people. Supposedly there's a software fix. Happened to me twice, about a two weeks apart. Last time was over a year ago. Disappeared without dealer intervention. --My problem is a rubber seal on the front edge of the passenger rear window. I just push it back. Nothing else has come loose on the car... No more rattles than there were the first day (and there were a couple).   I'd gladly deal with these glitches in this great car than drive anything else out there...

Replying to: mrwright06 (Aug 15, 2006 5:20 am) I had several of the same problems, the fix was a buy back from the dealer, now I have a 2006 same color and equipment level and no problems. I had to take it back about 8 times before they bought it back. By the way a phone from my lawyer to the dealer helped. I wish you well in getting your problem resovled.

Replying to: cobragmike (Jul 14, 2004 2:45 pm) My Instrument cluster lights do not come on. How did you get your's to work? Did you have to replace the entire instrument cluster or what? Help! I love my car, but can't see my speed at night! Very frustrating!
