I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but I am highly disappointed with the costs that I have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while I was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, but a new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. The door handles are cosmetic and have not been repaired. I have records from my dealership and another place I entrust with my vehicle.

The car rides smooth on good roads but on rough roads it sounds like everything is falling off underneath of the car. I have had the bushings replaced and tie rods replaced. The front end shop and my mechanic have both tried to find what was making all the noise and banging and they cannot find anything that is loose when it is on the lift. I love the car but the noises are irritating and embarrassing to those that ride with me. Could not get the approx. Date to work, it been going on for several years help!!

I bought my 2006 chrysler 300c brand new & I've been the only owner. It was purchased straight from daimler/chrysler, ordered & built to my selected specifications through chrysler. I set the order in february 2005, it was built & finished 11 nov 2005. This was done while I was finalizing my career in active duty military service & retired. I returned to the u.s. 7 jan 2006 & that's when I saw & picked my then brand new 300c. I fell in love with that car ever since. I truly love this car & to this day still love this car. I've never had any major issues with this car from day one otherthan putting gas in it, very dependable car. In 2007 june I was diagnosed cancer of the bone & blood (multiple myeloma, stage 4). After being hospitalized for apprx. 18 mths, one day while coming from chemo it started to over heat & blowing steam, had it towed to nearest dealer & had to have the fans & the sensors replaced, 1st major problem, then after that it was the shift lever stuck in park, then the "a" frame & control arms, now in nov 2012, after attending my grandmother's funeral, I filled it up @ a gas station & it shut off, would start back up but continued to shut off. There was no check engine light then once I got it started it would sputter, kick, & stall, this was repeated for several miles down the hwy & was fine til I had to fill it up again from then on it continued to do so every fill up. I did receive an indication of the gas cap (replaced) then june 2013 I filled it up as usual & it shut off & it was difficult to restart, I waited & start it again it did so I pulled on to the road, it began to stall, sputter, & buck, as I crept home, I heard a loud crackling sound lost all power, had it towed was told #4 vlv had fell down in the cylinder, after 3 months 2008 5.7l engine put in, problem still exist, evap solenoid, canister, pump, & filter assembly replaced.

A/c has never ran cold since we purchased this vehicle, we went to the dealer numerous times over the years to see if it was a recall on this vehicle, but each time the dealer claimed no recall on the 2005 chrysler 300c A/C system, we even checked the web for recalls but we found nothing. I found the problem myself in july 2005, it seems that this vehicle came with bad schrader valves high and low, over the years I just added freon, but now the leak is so bad it won't hold a charge more than 5 days, went back to the dealer who claimed the A/C system was not under warranty and we would have to pay for a full evac of the system, replacement of the bad schrader valves plus labor and taxes. We choose not to have the work done because of the expense involved. Over the years we have had to replace both lower tie rod ends, the tie rod ends that came with the vehicle look really cheap as well as the after market parts. We had the stability control system worked on twice, each time just before the stability light come on we notice the dash lights flicker constantly, the dash lights has always flickered on this vehicle. The dealer was notified of this problem, but claims replacing the stability part in the steering column would resolve this issue, as of today june 20, 2012 the dash lights are flickering again which means another trip to the dealer.
