The power windows have malfunctioned on every windon in the vehicle. The power window motors have been replaced 8 times. Each time they are under warranty, but warranty runs out soon. Regarding the front suspension. The car shimmies and the steering is loose (steering wheel shacks in your hands). Had front end alignment done but this did not fix the problem. Contemplating new tires but see others with similar problems and this did not correct the problem.
1999 Chrysler 300M suspension complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle exhibited a continuous problem with tyhe steering, on two occasions the vehcile was taken tot he dealer where they installed a new part, but within 6 months the problem reoccured, the vehcile was then taken to a different shop where they determined that there was a design problem and they replaced the frony link pin, currently the vehicle is working fine.
Tires are worn excessively, all 4 tires affected. Tires according to goodyear should last between 20000 and 40000 miles.*ak goodyear eagle tires, dot nk43bmdr199, 17 inch tires, consumer states spare tire is also worn. Goodyear states that tires are not the problem, vehicle has vibration and pulls to the left, could be suspension or tire related. Engine failed due to pistons too close together, consumer states ever since vehicle has been repaired, it does not run normal now. Rotors were replaced, brakes resurfaced.
Consumer has a chrysler vehicle. 2 original front tires were replaced because they wobbled/vibrated & pulled to right. Every 3,000 miles outsides wore out, 7 had to be replaced. They all showed signs differently. Chrysler was aware of tires. Originals had premature balding & hydroplained. Size p225/55r17, dot#m600bmwr3400. *ak wear of tires could be related to a suspension problem, tires are goodyear eagle.
Car shimmies and steering wheel constantly shakes between 30-80 km/h. Replaced all 4 tires which solved problems which came back 4 months later.
Consumer started to hear a noise ,like a metal to metal noise in june 28,2000. Dealer ordered 4 parts, all but one did not come in ,an adapter part #5017701aa. In the meantime, defect has graually gotting worse. Consumer was experiencing more play in steering wheel and noise was louder. Part has been on back order since jun 28 2000, and did not know when part will arrive.
There were various symptoms which seem to have culminated in the crash on 6/29. The first time tires were rotated, one tire could only be "almost" balanced; I drove the car from chas., sc to atlanta had a flat tire that turned out to be a defective rim not tire. Recently had tires rotated and alignment done. Car pulled to the right; took it back now car pulls to the left. Evening of 6/29 on I-26 east-bound experienced a complete loss of steering control. Car spun out and hit center retaining wall. No injuries other than seat-belt bruises. Waiting for estimate on damage - entire right side damaged.
Vehicle experiencing an irregular rocking/vibration from front end while traveling from 18-72 MPH. Vehicle has been in/out of dealer's shop on five occasions, and problem still occurring. *ak dealer says tire are bad.
While driving on "non crown" road vehicle pulls to left which may cause a loss of vehicle control. Also, defective differential and vent leaked fluid 3 times. Dealer could not determine the cause of the problem. Please provide further information.
Shakes & shimmies; wobbles & bobbles. Steering somewhat unpredictable. Goodyear tires rebalanced 5 times, and 2 front end alignments by dealer. Replaced all 4 tires at 12k. Still shimmies/bumps/vibrates. Installed third set of tires (michelin) at 25k. At 26k after 2 front end alignments, 6 tire rebalances, and 3rd set of tires, vehicle continues to shake and wobble and steering seems a little bit dangerous.
My vehicle has a severe shimmy/vibration between 55 and 65mph which is progressively getting worse. The dealer has put on three sets of tires and wheels and has done mutiple wheel balancing. The problem is progressively getting worse and the chrysler factory representative has admitted the diamler/chrysler is aware of the problem and their engineers are working on the problem. I have had my vehicle ito the the dealer 14 times for this problem. Their final answer last week was that neither the dealer or diamler/chrysler will attempt to correct this problem again and that I should file under the georgia lemon law for compensation. I am not sure where the problem lies so consequently the multi-choice component list. I do not believe it is wheel or tire related after all of the changes but chrysler does blame the goodyear tires, however they have never swapped them for any other brand. This is a dangerous condition that has been shared with other 300m owners on the web. It is particularly severe in hot weather and in rainy conditions. If the manufacturer admits to a defect, then I believe it is required to remedy the situation.
