This may be a new serious new problem. My new 300C with 290 miles on it developed a low RPM vibration and groan when between 1500 and 2000 rpm. At first is seems like road noise and a hesitation in the engine but it happensd any time the engine idles down and you start to accelerate again I feel and hear the vibration, i.e. even on the freeway doing 65 if you take you foot off the gas and let the RPM drop. I can put my foot in it and it shifts great, I just can’t cruise. I’ve had it in the dealer for 5 days and they are scratching their heads and think it is a torque converter problem. I called an acquaintance that is a second-generation Chrysler Transmission specialist he just happens to be working on his dealerships general manager’s 300C that has the exact same problem as mine. He thought he had it fixed last week but it is doing the same thing again. He has sent a tech email into the Chrysler to see what’s up. After your comment about the torque converte I’m seriously upset that this may be a major flaw in recently produced 300C’s.
