I have had numerous problems with my chrysler 300, which are becoming more costly and defeating the purpose of my purchasing a new car. First, I was subject to a recall regarding the transmission. Next, the rack and pinion went out. Thankfully that was covered under warranty. Now I have to repair the outer tie rods when I have less than 75,000 miles on the car. This repair is $500.00 on top of what I have to pay for the car payment and is not covered under warranty. The brakes recently had to be replaced (another $350.00) and I am also being presented with issues pertaining to the oil pan (which apparently is made of plastic).

Bought a chrysler 300 touring on march 3,2004 I've had the following problems: 12-09-04 recall d50 radiator isolator brackets, recall d51 antifreeze concentration level, noise coming from dash around the defroster advised nothing could be done for rattling. Engine light comes for a few days then goes off. Unknown reasons. 12-18-04 passenger air bag light stays on - system recalibrated. 12-21-04 passenger air bag light on a second time - system recalibrated a second time. 10-12-05 VIN number covered by dashboard - cut a rearranged pad problem corrected. 12-22-05 driver side airbag light stays on - circuit 1 code clock spring defect - replaced clock spring. 12-23-05 driver side air bag light on a second time. Had to wait until after christmas for service. Told by dealership (dodge country, tx) they would not provide a rental car which is a part of the warranty because the vehicle is operative and would not be responsible if the air bags accidentally deploys while operating the vehicle. Vehicle parked until 12-30-05 clock spring replaced a second time. 1-18-06 rear drivers side window would not roll down 50% of the time. Loud squeaking and rattling sound coming from rear of vehicle. Abs and electronic stability light on. Vehicle can't be seen for service until 1-23-05 by dealership. Vehicle parked until dealership can pick it up.

Dt: 2005 chrysler town and country. The contact stated the head rests for the middle row do not stay up. This has been happening since the contact purchased the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership, and they stated it was an engineering problem. The notches in the first and third rows are different from the second row. Nothing has been done to correct the problem.

Dt: the consumer owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. The car sits too low on the ground. The dealership stated they do not have the authority to alter the vehicle. 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.

The floors in the front are not solid underneath the carpet. There's no "bottom". There's 7" of space between the carpet and the body of the car. I took it in to the dealer and they said that's the way the car was made and they are not sure of why it was designed like that.
