| 2012 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I CAME TO A STOP AT A FOUR WAY INTERSECTION. I ACCELERATED TO TURN AT ABOUT 5MPH INSTEAD OF THE CAR TURNING THE STEERING LOCKED UP FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS. THEN DROVE NORMAL UNTIL I GOT TO MY DESTINATION WHICH WAS A FEW MINUTES AWAY & TURNED THE CAR OFF. I GOT OFF THE CAR & WENT INTO THE STORE. WENT I FINISHED SHOPPING I RETURNED TO THE CAR & TRIED TO START IT UP. IT WOULD NOT START & STEERING WHEEL & BRAKES WERE LOCKED. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT, STABILITY CONTROL & BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD BLINK & SAY SERVICE ENGINE. ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THIS I TRIED TO TURN THE CAR ON. IT TURNED ON BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BARLEY TURNABLE I TRIED TO MOVE IT A FEW INCHES. FOR THE WRECKER SERVICE PERSONAL ONCE I MOVED IT THE CARS STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL & WORKING. I PLAN ON TAKING IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING.I JUST REALLY HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED. *TR |
| 2013 | SUSPENSION | FROM JUST AFTER A FEW DAYS OF PURCHASE, ON ALL THE SUSPENSION PARTS, THERE IS TONS OF RUST EATING AWAY AT THE SUSPENSION OF MY BRAND NEW CAR. THIS ISSUE IS ON EVERY SINGLE CHRYSLER 300 BEING SOLD. AND EVERY SINGLE CHRYSLER 300 IS IN DANGER. THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION IS ON A TICKING TIME BOMB TO RUST, AND BREAK APART. THE RETAINING RING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE BALLJOINT, THE METAL HOLDING IT ON, CAN BE SCRAPED RIGHT OFF. I HAVE EMAILED CHRYSLER, THEY HAVE NO COMMENT. YOU CAN VISIT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER RIGHT NOW, AND NOTICE THIS ISSUE. MULTIPLE CONSUMERS ON CHRYSLER300SFORUMS.COM RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE TRIED TO COMMUNICATE WITH CHRYSLER ABOUT IT SIMPLY PUT, THE SUSPENSION WAS NOT COATED PROPERLY IN PAINT... AND BRITTLES RIGHT OFF. EACH PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ESPECIALLY THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING RINGS, AND TIE-ROD END RETAINING RINGS. SMALLER PARTS SUCH AS THESE, WILL COLLAPSE UNDER GREAT PRESSURE I HAVE VIDEOS, AND PICTURES THAT DOCUMENT THESE FINDINGS. ALONG WITH MULTIPLE CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. DO NOT LET SOMEONE DIE OVER THIS ISSUE!!!! FILE A RECALL TO CHRYSLER TO REPLACE OUR SUSPENSION AND ALL AFFECTED PARTS! *TR |
