Joey and Bruno, Thank you so very much for your replies to this post. Each hour that passes I'm going slightly crazier just thinking about everything that is going on and it is very comforting to get feedback.
I realize there is absolutely no way to know everything that is going on with the car but I sense it is not a very major problem such as an actual broken part as in metal piece, most likely a lot of smaller electronic components that are all malfunctioning in unison.
I ran a carfax on this 300c before buying it, i did all my homework. I just sold my z06 vette and my hummer within the last year and I was looking to get a reasonable car with style and a nice amount of power. I've always loved the look of the 300 and the C had the affordable power I was after. I was going to get another H2 but I decided on the 300c. I looked at about 15 different cars before buying and while I passed the dealer i saw a lonely 300c amongst GMC's and Mitsubishi's. I hated the color at first and the mileage was yelling stay away. There were a handful of other cars in the 20,000 mile range even with navigation for the same price. Anyway, for some reason I was drawn to this car to get it. The night before I got the check from my bank I had a dream that the dealer was going to screw me, wellit came true sorry to say.
The chrysler dealer by my new house completely treated me with disrespect. I did not have an appointment but they did not even want anything to do with me. The other dealer I took it to over an hour away had 15 other appointments but said yeah bring it on down and got to it that day even though they completely missed the entire problem.
Do I look for another dealer to take it too now since this one failed to find the problem? I purchased the car to enjoy it and I really dont care at this point how much green paper it takes to fix this thing even though it is under warranty. I just want an operational 300c and I feel like I was robbed. I'm even thinking maybe I should just take it and trade it in for a hummer and lose an instant $10,000 on the trade.
Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated. I just need some positive reinforcement from others who share the same appreciation of the 300. I just hate the fact that any dealership I bring it to how do I know they are even going to be straight up with me? Money talks and they wont even accept money because they think im going to bribe them and sue them for taking an extra $100 to be honest with me. These types of problems go far beyond the simple car industry. Dealers dont want to fix the problem because its money and time on their end fixing a car that wasnt purchased on their lot and they cant charge for a warranty applicapable service so skimp on the job ahhhhhhhh. Sorry for my incomplete thoughts and babble I just really feel like absolute crap. I had so many good ideas for this car too im ready to scrap the project.
