| 1999 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | THE EVAPORATOR COIL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE A/C MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE AND NOT COOLING PROPERLY.IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS POINT AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK IT BACK 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN AND FINALLY ON THE 3RD TRY THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A EVAPORATOR COIL.I AM TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP/CHRYSLER TO PAY, WE'LL KNOW TOMMARROW. |
| 2000 | STEERING | I HAVE A 2000 300M. IT HAS EXPERIENCED SLOPPY STEERING, ?HITCHES? AND A LACK OF SMOOTHNESS, ESPECIALLY IN LEFT HAND TURNS, AND A TENDENCY TO NOT HAVE THE WHEEL COME BACK TO CENTER WITHOUT UNDUE FORCE BEING EXERTED. THE FRONT END ALSO MAKES SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF NOISES. THE CAR IS NOW IN A ASCE SHOP WITH COPIES OF INFORMATION AND TSB?S FOUND ON THIS SITE. I AM HOPING TO HAVE IT PROPERLY REPAIRED AND TO HAVE MY SON USE IT FOR COLLEGE (APPROXIMATELY 125 MILES AWAY). I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT, EVEN REPAIRED, THE CAR WILL BE UNSAFE. I BELIEVE I HAD AN ISSUE EARLY ON WITH IT AND THE DEALER REPLACED SOME TIE RODS OR SOMETHING. THE CAR NOW HAS 160,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE SPENT MONEY ON MANY ITEMS LIKE BRAKES, TIRES, COMPLETE SUSPENSION REPLACEMENT, SEVERAL FRONT END ALIGNMENT ISSUES, BATTERY, AIR CONDITIONING, ETC. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD SAFE CAR FOR MY SON. NOW I DON?T KNOW WHAT TO DO. TWO DAYS AGO A 19 YEAR OLD FAMILY FRIEND LOST CONTROL OF HIS 300M AND HIT A TREE. HE IS DEAD. *JB |
