2000 Chrysler 300M locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The door lock on the passenger side door has stopped working correctly. There is a buzzing sound when the power lock is pressed as well as when the car reaches 15 MPH and locks automatically. The door cannot be opened with the door handle and in the event of an accident the front passenger would be denied an immediate exit. The dealer says it appears to be actuator failure at a cost of $250.00 to repair. This is a significant safety issue and a threat to the welfare of anyone riding in the front passenger seat. Recall should be immediate.
Door lock buzzing and failure to unlock door. Occasionally door will not open from the inside until the electric lock is toggled a few times and then the manual button is pulled up. Often times the button will not pull up unless the electric switch is toggled first. I have exited car on occasion to have the door still be locked when I attempt to open it (door should unlock upon opening from inside). Talked to dealer and dealer stated it was due to "possibly playing with the locks by my children" first failure occurred less then one year after purchase.
When my 2000 chrysler 300m was under warranty, my drivers side door would not unlock. There was a buzzing or screeching sound when you tried to lock the doors manually, with the remote, or while driving with the 15 MPH auto lock feature. The drivers side front actuator was replaced. On 10/10/03, the same thing happened with the passenger side door which was not covered under warranty and cost me $220.96 to replace the passenger side front actuator. Others have complained about the same issue, when is chrysler going to recall these faulty components?
3 inch centers of wheels corroded off. Chrome door handles chrome peeling off driver & passenger door. Weather stripping hanging off rear doors. Door lock actuator motor malfunction.
The actuators for the door of my 2000 chrysler 300m has been replaced three or four times. The part itself seems faulty, and there should be a recall so that the part gets fixed.
Automatic door lock motor making loud buzzing noise. Failure soon to follow. Common problem with many other owners. Why is this not beong repaired by manufacturer?
Not able to totally lock all doors. System is electrically controlled. Very noisy when automatically activated at 15 MPH. Necessary to deactivate, thus having to manually lock doors. Because this was a standard option, it should work for reasonable length of time. When ordering replacement part, was informed of a two week wait because of local back order on like part, indicating many other owners were having same problem. This was second failure. First time was on driver front door, second time was on passenger front door. Can the back doors be far behind? Dt
