I had the same problems with a Dodge 2500. pulled to the left from day one. They replaced everything on the left side of the vehicle - nothing helped. I gave up after about 8 visits and just lived with it. Eventually, it pissed me off to where I tore it apart myself. Turned out that the problem was not an over-zealous left brake, but a weak right one! I replaced the caliper on the right and it has been stopping straight for the last 80,000 miles. Maybe it is the same with yours. Good luck!

same issue here. have about 1500 miles on my 300, dealership had the car for 8 days, claims to of tried everything. the TSB out there was useless, it did no good. they even had a regional rep come in the area (charlotte, nc) and still no fix. i took the car today because i honestly feel like the dealership exhausted all their options, but i'll give it a few days. ride home was very annoying veered right the entire time, just like when i brought it in, service manager's response was these cars are very sensitive and any flaw in the road will cause a veer. i'll give it a few more days before i take it in again. a brand new 30+k auto should not have an issue like this.

I have a copy of the TSB; all 300's built before April 25, 2004 have the pull problem. Don't let your dealer blame it on something else. Time allowance in the TSB for completion of the fix is 1.7 hours, they really don't need a full day or longer. Again, it's TSB 02-003-04 dated May 25, 2004

NOT all 300s built before apr 25 have pull. TSB states drive the car on a FLAT road. IF the car tracks straight, the vehicle operator is experiencing crown sensitivity. My 300c was built apr 17...steers great. Test drove 2 other 300s before purchase and they were fine also.

thanks for the info, my questions is then why does the car not pull to the left at times, not every road is crowned on the right side. i have driven on the flatest streets, and the pull is always to the right, i have even gone on the oppposite side of the road , where the the crown of the road is on the left side , and it still pulls right.

Sure glad i've got one of the good ones. You'd think it would be a simple alignment to correct the problem. Hope they find a fix for your's and others soon so you can enjoy it like me! I wonder if a lot of these cars are like this?

I bought my 300c on April 27th. So far, I've had no problems with pulling. Car has been pretty good (knock on wood). A/C could blow colder air from the get-go, and especially from the back vents. Also, my black exterior is a pain to keep clean (of course), but my light carpets are even more of a bit*h. I may order dark mats. Other than that, very happy.

The dealer I've spoken with Chrysler of Alexandria, VA stated that that the cars that are candidate for the pull were build March and before. Dealer stated my card 17April04 was not one of them.
For all current 300c owners my car is in for the hood latch broken, embarrassing situation showing folks 4 July car and could not close the hood, 200 miles from dealer and I had to us budgie cord to secure hood, also notified the dealer that I just received to recall letters D28 and D30, which they advised me they were going to correct.
