THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM THIS IS JUST THE WAY THE CAR IS MADE. WHILE GETTING OFF OF A TURN PIKE THERE WAS A TURTLE COMING ACROSS THE ROAD BUT IT WAS BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE BOTTOM OF HIS CAR, THE VEHICLE SCRAPPED OVER THE TURTLE. AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IT WAS RAINING THE CONSUMER WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE CAR IN FRONT RAN OVER SOMETHING AND HE HIT IT AND IT WEDGED UNDER HIS CAR HE COULD NOT TURN LEFT OR RIGHT HE HAD TO DRIVE A QUARTER MILE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND HE COULD NOT GET UNDER THE CAR SO HE HIT IT WITH A GOLF CLUB AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A HARD HAT THAT GOT STUCK. *JB

MY CHRYSLER 300 HAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN AT THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR A FRONT ALIGNMENT PROBLEM, CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT. DURING FIRST VISIT I WAS TOLD ALIGNMENT CHECKS OK, THEY ALL PULL TO THE RIGHT. DURING SECOND VISIT DEALER INSTALLED CHRYSLER BULLETIN (OFF SET BOLTS) TO CORRECT LEFT LEAD PROBLEM. ALIGNMENT IMPROVED BUT STILL PULLS TO RIGHT. DURING THIRD VISIT DEALER TOLD ME EVERTHING CHECKS OK NOTHING ELSE CAN BE DONE AND THE CAR PULLS RIGHT OR LEFT BECAUSE OF THE CROWN IN THE ROAD (WHICH IS BULL). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION BECAUSE CONSTANCE PRESSURE MUST BE KEPT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING INTO THE RIGHT FREEWAY LANES. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO REPLACE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED/DEFECTIVE FRONT END COMPONENTS. *AK

THE HORN IS VERY HARD TO BLOW, AND WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE THE HORN WON'T BLOW AT ALL. . CONSUMER IS CONCERNED IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY HE CANNOT USE THE HORN TO GET HELP.*AK.....THE THICK VINYL/RUBBER HORN PAD HAS SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW. ESSENTIALLY, THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS ON THE ENTIR EPAD WHERE THE HORN ACTIVATES. IT IS POORLY DESIGNED. *AK

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I LEFT THE GAS STATION, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET IT STARTED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. IT IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT WENT BAD. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN A CAR STALLS PULLING OUT ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY.

CHRYSLER 300C PULL, DRIFT AND REAR END BANG ISSUE. *MR THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND WHEN IT WAS PLACED IN REVERSE, AT TIMES, A BANG NOISE AND OR GRIND WAS HEARD BEFORE IT WOULD LOCK AND BEGIN TO ROLL. THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST PURCHASED. *SC *JB
