My steering has a life of its own. Steering pulls hard to the right, almost hit a public bus. I've had 2 alignments and brand new tires, the problem still exist. The front end make a clunking noise and vibrates really badly. I've taken it to a chrysler dealership and got the same response as other have with the same problem "unable to duplicate" the problem. I told them there is a problem. Im afraid of losing my life an risking others on the streets and highway because of this serious issue the no one wants to fix.

The gear shift stick beginning sticking, making it hard to change gears. I had gotten the gear in reverse to back out of my yard but when I tried to put it in drive the entire gear stick broke apart. I was in the road with traffic coming from both directions unable to move. The car had to be towed to repair shop where the entire gear components had to be replaced.

I have a 2000 chrysler 300m, purchased september 2000. This particular model allows both an automatic or a manual shift (I've never used the manual shift). On the date in question, I went to put the car into gear, and the gear shift sheared off in my hand. Whereas no one was injured in this particular incident, I do believe that had the car been in motion it could have caused serious injury or death. One does not expect in a 2-1/2 year old car for the gear shift to come off. I believe that this is a serious safety issue. Ts
