Hey all....haven't posted in a long tome due to frustrations with me Crudsler 300. I've had the pull to the right since the first week I got the car (You can see some of my earlier posts). I have had over 8 alignments with no fix. I have a lawsuit with the dealership in Lynnfiled, Mass (CROOKS & CONS!) and with Chrysler. My lawyer had an indipendent expert drive the car last week. There is an allowed drift of 7 seconds for a car to go from 1 lane to the other....my car shifted from the middle lane to the right lane in about 3.5 to 4 seconds! Also, in a left lane (with left crown) my car STILL pulled into the right. This was while the expert was driving. It really is a shame that I have to go thru a YEAR of frustrations with the clunker. I havent read any posts in the last 6 months, but I will go back and read....has anyone had ANY satisfaction? Why isn't SOMEONE starting a calss action suit?

HI, I have a 2005 300 C with 16,250 miles, live in upstate NY. started having a "cupping" problem at 7500, dealer rotated the tires, problem solved (ha, ha). Now at my current milage I see the wear bar and the dealer said I had a slight towing problem. They corrected but with my tires the way they are now, I'm very lucky we have had a mild winter. The dealer selling Goodyear replacements for the Conti tires. The car is a dream, 18 mph in suburbs and 24+ on the thurway/express ways.

I got a better one. Mine pulled to the right and after many alignments at Chrysler the pulling stopped. They gave me the specs.. The downside is the front tires get ripped up in 5-8 k miles. I spoke to the Chrysler service rep last night here in Pittsburgh. His solution; Buy a Chevy. Yes, that is what he said. He begged me to. He was on a speaker phone and others heard him say it. Then he said go back to the dealer again for the service manager to look at it again. I have rotated the tires every 5k, they have done all the alignments and the pulling stopped but the tires are shot with less than 10 this time. He blamed the Continetial tires this time but I had Goodyear last time. I can't believe this

How were you able to get them to buy it back or replace it? Did you use the lemon law? What was the car problem? Mine is the transmission. What state are you in?

I am in Missouri.The car started with some electrical issues first then went to a lite knocking noise in front of the driver at very slow speed. I took it in dealer said it was in the motor,they replaced the lower end ,"small block" which we thought it should have a total motor replaced but chrysler said they had no complete motor, my husband told them to get it from the factory ,but they would not. They had the car for 6 weeks ,i pick it up it was still making the same noise,they took it back and replaced the tranny,p/u and the torque converter was out of that new transmission ,Now on the third tranny we contacted factory rep,then involved a mediator kept complaining to dealer and after around 5 months they bought it back.WE owned the car for around 10 months they had it half the time .When they buy it back you still have to but a chrysler product, which we would not have liked to do but we bought a new charger with the Hemi and 5 speed auto transmission.Different motor and drive train of the 300. My 300 was a heap of s #$ !!!!Oh Did i mention that it only had 7000 miles on it ? Keep fighting them tell your dealer you want a factory rep to call you. GOOD LUCK owner no more!!

I have 12,000 miles on my 2005 300C and just got it back from the dealer in SF after they had it for 25 days. I was getting on the highway and completely lost the transmission. I had it replaced for free with one off of Chrysler's assembly line. I still had to shell out several hundred dollars for a rental car! I thought I was going to get a loaner car, but NO WAY! So far it is the only problem I have had. It definitely runs and shifts better than any day I have owned it yet. I have heard a lot of sob stories about the Chrysler transmissions sucking bad though and I am now worried and not in love with my 300 as I WAS. Also, I get terrible mileage. About 17 mpg on the highway.

I am having a similar problem, except mine has had upper and lower control arm problems. Mine has a "bad" ball joint now. My tires have been eaten up by being out of alignment.Are you in Tennessee? and are you dealing with a dealer in Johnson City. Tennessee?

Well it looks like my Lemon Law case will be going to trial. The idiots over at Chrysler and the Dealership in Lynnfield, MA are fighting to who should be respossible. My problem is unique in that I bought the car used with 800 miles on it, so its in thie "gray area" where it's new & used and we are fighting both Dealer and Manufacturer. So we are on to Month 16 and the car STILL pulls, and still is a junk-box. STAY AWAY from all Dalmier Chrysler products! I will be going to the TV stations here in Boston very soon, I have had enough.

Hi,
To me the lemon law should still be in effect, because the car was still under warranty with only 800 miles on it.. seems to me that Chrysler products arent worth the money if they wont stand behind them... sorry to hear your having to go this route.. but I wish you all the luck and a happy resolve in your favor..
