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!) |

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: vic10 (Aug 15, 2006 9:10 am) 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. |

| Anyone have their seats stolen? Mine were stolen today in my driveway. Thay cut the power somehow and then popped the drivers window out than took the fron passengers seat and the back seat. Wondering if this is common... | |

Replying to: dingchavez (Jul 27, 2006 4:20 pm) I do own one at this time the same one that I've been having problems with it's going in the shop again monday now for the 11th time , I'm working with my lawyers trying to get Crysler to buy it back , My car is shaking at redlights, stalling sitting and while moving, making very loud noises when the "fan"? comes on, if you stand by it when this noise comes on you have to move because you can't stand by it or let alone talk to someone can't hear over the noise ! Anyway sorry for the slow reply i'm just so discusted in all this mess, rite now , nothing would give me more pleasure then to ram a couple sticks of dynamite up the tail pipe and let it blow !
