Replying to: th300m (Oct 08, 2007 11:35 am) I own a 2002 300m and had the same problem.After a month of going to dealerships and garages.The problem was intermittent my brakes would engauge on the highway and the front end would start shaking.You couldnt even touch the wheels they would be burning hot.I replaced lines had a fluid power flush but still happened.I was finally able to get it to a chrysler dealer when it was happening.What they found was the master cylinder valves were hanging up.They replaced the master cylinder and has been fine since.When the prolem accurd you could put car in drive and it wouldnt move.Good luck.

I have a 2002 300m and just replaced parking brakes.Had no problems until I tried to adjust to 6-3/4 across shoes before installing rotor.Adjusted as tight as I could 7 inches the rotor went on but brakes are dragging enough to cause heating at rotors.Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.
