Re: steering problem [jeqq] by btgp

We have had our 2002 300 for 2 years (second owners). After the first few weeks of excitement wore off, we noticed that the steering wheel shimmies or shakes while driving around 40 miles and up. When we asked the dealership about it, we were told it was the "Sports Model" and that happens. Over time it go progressively worse, specially with tire rotations. We then refused rotations as it made the shimmying worse. We then had a local repair shop replace the brakes and rotate the tires. This helped somewhat, but not noticeably. Then we changed the rotors and it made a big difference! But still the minor steering wheel shimmy. Does anyone else have this??? It makes your hands and wrists ache when you are on a long trip. Any suggestions???

I had this problem when I had my '94 Eagle Vision.I had three tires that the belts shifted in the tire.It felt like you were driving with a flat tire.When you mention that rotations made it worse,makes me think you have the same problem.You did a elimination with the brakes and rotors,so
I would check your tires.If thats not it,check the CV joints on your front axle.I'm assuming your talking about a 300M.

Cruise Control Revisit by vic10

Did a test this morning on a steep hill. Yes, the 5-speed tranny will downshift. Unfortunately it did that when I was 10 mph over the set speed. Here in OK they have zero tolerance on 75MPH roads so that won't work for me,unless I set the cruise at under 70MPH, Wonder if you can reprogram the trip speed for downshifting....
