NEEDS DOOR ALIGNMENT--Wheels too !!!

[Chaseme973]

The only thing bad about this car is that Chrysler makes it.....anyway---My drivers door needs alignment..I have severe wind noise and when I shut the door it interfers with weatherstripping on the rear door....Hopefully the body shop can align it right---Anyone else have this? I went today to have my "WHEELS ALIGNED" too....I think the pull is better but not too sure yet. I came home with a new set of casters...and this was a Aug manufactured car..

I had my allignment done but I think its just VERY crown sensitive. I've noticed the headliner molding that runs along past the rear doors is slightly seperated in the middle and looks like it just needs to be pushed back upward but it doesn't budge. I will stop at the dealer tomorrow (cause it's closed) and look in the windows of the 300's on the lot and see if this is common.

I had the really bad wind noise in my last car, a new saturn l series. It had the most wind noise I had ever heard, even more then any truck i have had or driven. So anyways, I took the car to my local auto body shop to see if they had any idea what was going, bc of bad making, the door bends at the top, so the guy leaned into the door and bent it back. This fixes the problem for a couple months everytime you do it, and saturn said that the only way to fix this for ever is to get a new door. Hope this helps, and I hope that this is not a common problem with the 300s, hopefully it will be fixed by the 05 model, wind noise and noise in general inside a car besides the music should not be there, I cant stand it when im trying to talk on the phone and cant hear a thing, it cant be tolorated!!!!

I thought we all had the '05 model.

NO wind noise whatsoever here. Quiet as a bank vault. The one with all the money I saved buying a 300C instead of a Cadillac CTS-V.

Make sure you do the "steering while reset thingy." Basically, turn the wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right. Look for a post from Miles if you want more info...

Minimal wind noise in mine, barely noticeable at 60-80. I have noticed I get more wind noise from the sun roof when open than with my previous car.
