I feel bad for you. My experience with Westbury-Toyota in Long Island has been the worst experience with a Toyota dealer ever. It is really sad when the sales people and the manager there lack basic integrity and social etiquette. Please stay away from Westbury Toyota for your own sakes.
 
Although I did not purchase my car from them, I found that, Dick Milham Toyota has the integrity and skills to make your purchase an extremely pleasant one. I commend the manager at Dick Milham on his customer skills and his efforts to go that extra mile in making a customer happy. You will not be disappointed.

I have a 2005 300 touring its just over 55K when im driving the front end shakes but not all of the time it also happens when i put on the brakes but not as much as when im driving. Does any one have an idea what might be wrong with it.
thanks

Shaking at 55 is usually a wheel balance issue, but brakes shaking when you apply the pedal usually means that your brake rotors are warped. You probably should have a pro check it out or you'll be replacing the tires very soon.

I have the same issue with my 300 touring "ruff engine idle"... when my car is in drive and when I am at a stop light, or when I break the car wants to cut off and it has.
 
Thankfully when it cut off it happened with me driving and I have the quickness to cost it into a store front parking lot, as I was going through a light that was just turning yellow. Very Dramatic wouldn't you say, but its true...
 
I am lemon lawing this car that I like very much but I cant pay for something that is not one hundred percent for at least 5 years...And with gods help this will work, but I wrote this just in case someone has the same problem. your out...

I have a '06 Charger and you cant get any better alignment then what my Charger has.Steering wheel is straight,and goes down the road straight when i let go of the wheel.Far as I know it was just the '05 with alignment problem.

Turn off the caps lock! I guess the special oil you are using isn't helping?
 
My 300 used to pull to the right and after a few visits to the dealer nothing changed. So after all that frustration I decided not to rotate the tires to see where the problem was. The driver side front wheel had too much toe in. I did the alignment myself and 50,000 km later with new tires there is no unusual tire wear or pulling. I didn't rotate the new tires on purpose to see if my alignment didn't simply force the car into behaving. The left front wheel was 7mm out!! Don't the dealers and Chrysler use something better than my measuring tape???

The alignment has to be performed WITH a cradle adjustment and new bolts. I found the TSB on line after an alignment, took the car back in and done the cradle adjustment and it now steers perfectly.
 
Originally, the dumbazz service manager tried to tell me that Chrysler built them to pull to the right " in case of a medical condition" if you lost control it wouldn't go into oncoming traffic.
 
I informed him that he already had a medical problem and suggested that he see a brain surgeon immediately. lol
