What owners say
I purchased a 2005 300 in nov of 2008, early in the new year I had to have the door locks examined for malfunctions and 3 tires had rim leaks, have recently repaired one of those tires again 02-09 had cold start issues severe knocking noise when starting car in cold temps, two rocker arms were replaced needlessly as problem not fixed turned out to be defective motor mounts, march 09 replaced tie rod ends and steering gear also strut tensions 6-09 airbag light sensor malfunction also door lock mech replaced 12-09 currently having the cold start issues again sunroof problems and a severe squeak when driving over speed bumps and dips in road also have had a very musty smell when activating fan for A/C or heat in certain weather mostly noticeable in rainy conditions this has been an ongoing problem since the spring of 09 I have never had so many problems with a used vehicle very disappointed in this product.
The car would start to shake uncontrollably while accelerating slowly and stall out at stops. The car would lose power while accelerating onto highway and make grinding noises. The check engine light comes on and the dealer states they find no codes because the light shuts off before I get there.
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.
(1) when stopped at a light the engine intermittently vibrates and runs rough for a few seconds and almost stalls then idles normally. Also sometimes the engine will stall out when driving. Vehicle was brought back to the dealer several times. Dealer did a computer modification #489614a1 but condition persists. (2) air conditioning. When stopped at a traffic light in gear or in neutral, the air conditioning compressor cycles on for 15 seconds and then off for 5 seconds. Each time the AC cycles on there is a clunk and vibration & grinding thru the steering column and brake pedal. The dealer installed an AC compressor pulley kit. Condition still persists. (3) when the vehicle slows down from 12 MPH to 3 MPH whether in drive or neutral with or without applying the brakes there is a vibration and whine noise coming from the front thru the steering column. The dealer said it was from the tires and rotated and balanced them several times. The condition still persists.
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
