700 Mile Experience by mikec1

I now have 700 miles on my 300C. Last week my car was serviced for the right pull problem. Following alignment and switching tires left to right, it is better, but not fixed. I would like to know more about the cam bolts TSB refered to in other posts here. I have experienced the sticky outside temp bug.
 
I am also noticing frequent shifts between 4th & 5th when cruising between 45 and 60 mph. I have thought about just keeping it in 4th when driving local roads, but don't know what the long-term effects would be bedsides worse gas mileage.
 
The one thing the 300C transmission is missing is an electronic lock out on the quick shifter. I tend to drive with my hand on the stick and have inadvertently pullled it left and downshifted around turns without realizing it until rpm's run up when accelerating.
 
Beyond the right pull and shifting back and forth matters, the 300C is an incredible rocket. I have always wanted a hemi, and could not have hoped for one in a better package than the 300C. My most recent toy was a cherry 70 Olds 442 Convertible, and to tell you the truth I love cruising the 300C much, much more.

Watch tire wear, outer edges will scuff, I have 9000 miles and have had the alignment done twice to the TSB specs and wear continues. I'm going back again.

They put 4 cam bolts on my car. Doesn't pull but tires are still wearing out. Chrysler bought me 2 sets of tires and I am in need of 2 more sets. They tell me there is nothing at this point they can do. What a shame I really love the car and will keep hounding them till they get it right.

Car pulls to the right. Chrysler dos not have an answer or a TSB. Or at least they have not told anyone. The solution is and will be to tell anyone who asks that this new 300 is cool looking but cheap finish, and oh yeah, it's the same old chrysler. Buy a Lexus, Infiniti, a Toyota, etc
