For the past eight-ten years their has been been this noise/hesitation at time, whenever I'm in a back up motion and while turning out of my drive. I first complained at (1,199 miles ) in 2008 at abc chrysler-jeep 395 w.merrick rd.valley stream, ny 11580. (see attached invoice #chc566468). Vehicle was checked at this time, no problem found.the noise continued, then on 04/10/10 at (18,309 miles) now at star chrysler 211-34 jamaica ave. Queens ny, 11429 I complained again (see attached invoice #chcs169243). Vehicle again was checked and road tested. Tech stated vehicle operating as designed! Now on 3/09/16 during my regular service after tech completed service and backing vehicle out of bay he noticed the hesitation/noise which has been their all the time. He informed the advisor that a diagnnostic needs to be done to see what the problem was. I agreed, he reported that the rear axles/drive neeeded to be replaced and if driven it my seize up. I'ved had my car serviced by only these two dealership, and after some( thirty services). Someone now is telling me that what I've been complaining about is now a drive/axles problem that no one until now has picked up.. Please note I've been driving this car with this problem stated above for over ten years (51,152 miles).

Engine light comes on and vehicle hesitates. Told by extended warranty company that there is a design flaw with my 2005 chrysler 300. Dealership says there is a carbon build up on the valves and combustion chamber that causes the valves to stick creating a misfire. *tr updated 09/18/07

For about 7 days now the instrument panel consistently flickers causing complete loss of electronic stability to vehicle. Occurrence most active between 15 - 50 MPH including slowing to a complete stop. Engine does not appear to be directly affected by this failure and continues to be functional and operative.

Parts affected during failure: speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, air conditioner, stereo, entire sensor cluster, engine temperature gauge, signal / lighting cluster. Vehicle has history of esp/bas sensor illumination on occasion when vehicle is started. Usually occurs when engine hesitates to start and shutters before completing full start.

The vehiclewas brought to freehold chrysler for service for the engine light coming on, not shifting properly, hesitation, left and right side molding coming off, trunk latch broken and car pulling to the right. Freehold chrysler stated they could not duplicate the problems and found no codes and the wheel alignment was done at a cost to me of $95.00,molding and trunk latch was replaced. We then brought the car back again for pulling to the right about 1 week later and again the told us it was fixed.the vehicle was not pulling as much but still was. About 2 weeks later the car was red lining, not shifting and stalling on her. We brought the car to eatontown chrysler in which they found a transmission solenoid to be bad and replaced it. We then started to experience electrical problems such as rear window not working all the time and air bag light sometimes flashing on and off while driving and again hesitation when stating from stop. Also the moon roof interior shade opens to about an inch after driving to vehicle for about a week. We contacted freehold chrysler about these problem and the previous wheel alignment and made an appointment for may 3, 2005. Now its may 8th and we have approx. 20,000 on the vehicle and we are being told the wheel alignment was completed based on a service bulletin and at no cost to us, even though we paid $95.00 originally, and the rest of the problems cannot be duplicated and there's nothing else they could do. I contacted the chrysler corp. Service center at 18009921997 and spoke to numerous people in reference to these problems and was told to take the car to another dealership and there's nothing else that they could do.
