Chrysler 300 pulling problems

Filed Jul 11, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · TX

about 2 years old, I was with my family driving on the freeway when I felt the car veering to the right going off the road. I tried to correct the steering by pulling it to the left. I was not able to correct this steering as it seemed that the steering wheel was lock. I tried stopping the car from going off the road but the brake pedal was very hard to push. It seemed like the car had lose all power. The car went down the hill off the freeway and hit a huge road sign. I was doing 55 to 60 miles per hour and very mush alert. The car finally came to a stop in the middle of the frontage road. We started to push the car and it was hard to push so I attempted to start the car and to my surprise, it started. So I drove it to a safe place and called the police to make a report and the towing service. The damage on the front end of the was over $3,000. This was the first incident. The second incident happen July 2, 2026.My wife and I were traveling on a road with two lanes. It was about 4:30 PM and traffic medium. Suddenly I felt the steering wheel pulling hard to the left going to the left lane. I immediately turned the steering wheel to the right. I felt the steering wheel was very hard to turn the steering to the right. I pulled off the road to check of any problems. The car never shut off and I was able to drive home. I have driven the car several time since the last incident but I on always wary of the same happening again. I did contact the Chrysler dealer the first this happen and They stated that there had been no one reporting of any similar incident.

My engine has been ticking from the beginning about 2 days after I bought it. Cash! For my dad's birthday... Brand new from town and country dealership. They told me to bring it back, this is in conyers ga. I took it back they said they fixed it. Or it is a new engine and it will stop, or the gas cap was not on right and they would fix it. Each time I bought it back the noise would stop for awhile then it would come back. Just keep your oil changed and there will be no problem this is what mr. Larry repair boss told me. Well. I didn't hear the noise as much when I picked it up and the rental car was getting expensive and they try to tell me I didn't buy the extra warranty but I did! They told me I could keep driving it. Or they tried to sell me a newer one...sell no way! Because my job requires me to drive I need a good running car. (I'm a minister) now the noise is louder and the engine sounds like it is losing power. I can not say how many times I told them that the car needed a new engine but they kept on trying to sell me another car instead of replace the car or fix it with a new engine. The right side of my car pulled to the right when braking and they told me to go to good year and I did. They said it was manufacturing that they could not tighten up that side take it back but I ended up paying for good year to fix that. Now the warranty is gone for real and the noise is louder. It is not the fly wheel or the trans it is in the engine right side in the back under the head gasket. I'm an retired jeep employee and I use to inspect on the engine line. I knew this was not good to keep happening so now I have to pay for a engine too? Wow pistons or lifters, or something is wrong with that car in my engine! Help! [xxx] is it because I'm a girl? They didn't listen or got treated this way. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I noticed that when I drive my car it pulls to the right. I took it to the dealer to have it fixed and the serviceman said that the problem was fixed it just needed an alignment. I left the dealership and drove down the hwy and it began to pull to the right again. I went back to the repair shop and they said to me that the alignment machine said that it was aligned just perfect. So I took the repairman on a test drive and again it pull to the right. So back to the repair shop we went and they replace a bolt or something to that effect(tsb) and it still pulls to the right. I notice a lot of the 05 models have that problem, but it seems as though chrysler has fixed the problem on the 06 and newer models. When you hit divot in the rd. The front end shakes and basically the front tires actually leave the rd. For a brief second. The problem has not been corrected yet and all that the serviceman tells me is that is the way the car was design.(which I doubt seriously) if that was the case then I and a lot of other owners of the chrysler 300 wouldn't have purchase the vehicle.
