Replying to: jeep (Jul 09, 2004 3:02 pm) D-30 is...   Anyone else receive notice? I did today.   Recall notice: Front Shoulder belt adjuster turning loop bolts. May not be properly tightened? May increase the risk of injury to front occupants.   Ordered my 300c on 4/6, built 4/21, took delivery 4/29.

Replying to: texas bob (Jun 09, 2004 6:03 am) Guess what texasbob, I bought a 2005 Dodge Magnum last Sept. and it pulls to the right and even after the cradle adj. it still does it. It's in the shop right now for the 3rd time for this. I have less than 4K miles on it and am very tired of this. The district zone manager was out on the 2nd time fix and told me to keep both of my hands on the wheel and it will not drift. BS Monday they told me the drift to the right is a safety feature put in all cars by all manufacturers to keep us from having head on collisions. I'm calling the Ill. Atty Generals Consumer Fraud division tomorrow. I did sign the I won't sue my dealer paper when I bought this car. Donna

#47 of 219 300C Right Pull by mikec1 Jun 14, 2004 (4:23 pm)
My 300C was manufactured on May 5th and has the correct cam alignment bolts, but still pulls right. There are however new alignment specs. I will be taking it in to have it adjusted and post results. It was previously aligned under the pre-cam bolt change specs. Replies to this message: jeep (Jun 15, 2004 6:13 am) jayrider (Jun 15, 2004 11:16 am) weidnerlaw (Aug 03, 2004 9:23 am)

Replying to: mikec1 (Jun 14, 2004 4:23 pm) Funny, mine was built on May 4th and I don't have any pulling problems. I wonder why some cars do and some don't. Do you have any ideas? Replies to this message: jayrider (Jun 15, 2004 11:16 am)

Replying to: jeep (Jun 15, 2004 6:13 am) The variables in assembling a new car are numerous. Parts, workers, etc, are not 100% consistent. This is especially true for new models. The odds are still in your favor that most will experience few problems but when you're slapping together thousands of vehicles, stuff happens. Those who wanted the first issues of the 300 will serve those who waited a year or two by providing the trouble shooting necessary to minimize the headache potential in these cars.

Replying to: mikec1 (Jun 14, 2004 4:23 pm) Did the pulling resolve?
#51 of 219 Steering and Right Pull by mikec1 Jun 15, 2004 (8:52 pm)
Regarding the right pull, I noticed it at about 10 miles on the odometer. I do chalk much of it up to crown sensativity. There are however new alignment specs posted with the TSB that could lessen the pull if your 300C has the correct cam bolts and the production date is close to the changes made after April 25th. I will know sometime next week if the new specs matter.   Regarding the comment about the shimmy on bumps, I noticed this too, and decided it occurs because the car is rear wheel drive, and most of us have not driven a rear wheel drive vehicle in a long time. The weight differential without the transmission over the front axle may have something to do with it as well. Weight balance is 50/50 over front and rear axles in the 300C providing superior traction when the ESP is engaged.   I assure you that with the ESP on, this car is as stable as any when cornering on virtually any road condition. It is nearly impossible to lose contact with the pavement in drastic maneuvers. I do not notice shimmy at all now that I am comfortable with the feel and think it is more how the 300C transmits the road to the steering wheel than any kind of problem. I have suggested elsewhere that the 300C needs an adjustable suspension for sport or cruising modes. I could see where this would concern you unless you had a chance to put the car through the paces.
