The TSB is real. The typical Chrysler problem however is; First Chrysler denied the problem. Blamed it on road crown, air pressure etc. Now that the public pressure got to them, they admit it. My local 5 star minus the 5 did not have the TSB. I faxed it to him. Of course the bolt kit is on NATIONAL backorder already. Figures. And when this kit comes in, the dealer said they will need all day to install two cam bolts, rock the front cradle a bit and re torque the bolts, and align it. All day! Next time, I am going back to the Lexus dealer for a car. It's the same old Chrysler

Check the NHTSA site about our car. Turns out, all of the 300C's built in April have this problem.

On the National Highway Traffic Safety Association website, it indicates that 260 Chrysler 300's were shipped that have the pulling to the right problem. Right now, there is no fix.

Where do you see that? It states that 260 vehicles were shipped with incorrect software in the PCM. Doesn't refer to pulling to the right.

Sorry. First time user. I was replying to someone else about the PCM. Look at the comment in "complaints" about "steering." i was told the same thing at my delaership.

My 300 also pulls to the right and has done so from the first day I owned it. I took it to the dealer 4 times, they made the adjustments per the Technical Service Bulletin, and it still pulls to the right. The TSB states that this condition cannot be corrected in all vehicles. When I "floor it" with the accelerator, the pull is greatly exaggerated...heads straight for the right side ditch.
 
Since my fourth service attempt, I have engaged a Lemon Law attorney. The dealer says it "drives as it was designed." If that's so, it's a design error.
 
Had it evaluated by two outside mechanics yesterday and they agree that it's definitely a problem and it cannot be fixed...not enough adjustment allowance to work with. In fact, they discovered that the dealer's "fix" was to slam the steering cradle several times with a large hammer.
 
It's been 90 days since I bought my car and I want out! Can you say "lawsuit?"
