#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!

Replying to: vic10 (Aug 15, 2006 9:10 am) It seems I'm not the only one having the same issues, however even the car is telling me there is something wrong. My malfunction light often stays on during driving cycles, so the computer/sensor is saying something just isn't right.   As for the other poster, I do hope that these issues are fixed without any hassel. This will be the first time putting in the shop for the tranny/alignment and second time being in the shop all together.
