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. |

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 !

Replying to: angel008a (Jul 26, 2006 9:21 am) My husband boutght me my 300 for our 1st anniversary I loved the car and was totaly thrilled , but then the problems began within the first few days. My family elders laughed at me for having a chrysler product now I see why.... Mabye Chrysler screwed up and actually made a few good ones for thoses ppl that haven't had problems yet ? but for a lot of us the problems are very real. _________________________________________________ It's more like 80% of us who have no problems feel sorry for the 20% of you who do. My Mag Pearl 300 Ltd has 13,000 on it without a peep, shudder, pop, pull to the right or any other problem. Just remember the 80-20 rule. 80% who are happy without trouble don't say much. The 20% who do say too much.

Replying to: stevenw (Aug 18, 2006 8:19 am) I have to disagree with that. If I have trouble with a car, I _will_ say as much as I wish to say.

Replying to: blcxusa (Aug 15, 2006 5:14 pm) Right now I'm driving some Suzuki Verona (no 300C..  ) and they'll probably have the car for at least a week. I'm currently waiting on a call from them to see what they are going to do about the issue.. like what they're going to do.
