We have classified the 2 complaints from 2005 Chrysler 300C about EQUIPMENT into the following categories.
My 2005 chrysler 300c has only 44240 miles n it and not abused since my wife and i are totally disabled vtrans with special "dv" registration so we can be driven to the vtrans hospital for medical services. on sat8/30/14 while in the garage and not being used for at least a week, my car's stick transmission shifter was stuck in park and would not allow the use or movement of the car from the garage. the usaa tow truck carrier had to drag the rear end of the car out of the garage onto the flatbed truck to take it to the chrysler dealership in waldorf, md, where all the warranty work has been done on this car from "day one!" i was told that it was the 2 cheap plastic pink switches on the stick mechanism that had to be replaced at a charge of about $250 to me and the tow charge also and this was recurring common "problem "with the car year and reported to chrysler as a recall. i will initiate a class action suit if necessary under 28 usc in federal district court in greenbelt, md, for redress of any costs to me. it is a safety issue since in motion, this gear shift could not respond to any change in gear in any emergency and cause the driver to panic. *tr
I i have two chryslers and both of them had the shifters freeze on them they recalled the covertable but not the 300c my friend called me yesterday he has the magnum and his shifter froze from what i is that almost all the shifters are freezing and chrysler is not recalling then but charging the custormers to replace them besides the towing fee because you cant move the cars once the shifter freezes. *tt
A/c has never ran cold since we purchased this vehicle, we went to the dealer numerous times over the years to see if it was a recall on this vehicle, but each time the dealer claimed no recall on the 2005 chrysler 300c a/c system, we even checked the web for recalls but we found nothing. i found the problem myself in july 2005, it seems that this vehicle came with bad schrader valves high and low, over the years i just added freon, but now the leak is so bad it won't hold a charge more than 5 days, went back to the dealer who claimed the a/c system was not under warranty and we would have to pay for a full evac of the system, replacement of the bad schrader valves plus labor and taxes. we choose not to have the work done because of the expense involved. over the years we have had to replace both lower tie rod ends, the tie rod ends that came with the vehicle look really cheap as well as the after market parts. we had the stability control system worked on twice, each time just before the stability light come on we notice the dash lights flicker constantly, the dash lights has always flickered on this vehicle. the dealer was notified of this problem, but claims replacing the stability part in the steering column would resolve this issue, as of today june 20, 2012 the dash lights are flickering again which means another trip to the dealer.
