Drifting Problems

[kmmhemi]

Has anyone whose vehicle drifts right got the problem fixed? Looks like all I see in the discussions are more problems after trying to get the alignment corrected. I bought my satin jade 300c April 23 and probably got the first batch that have the drifting problem. I don't want to have it serviced until I know they can fix the drifting. In the meantime, I'm having a blast with the car. Future mods include taking out the resonator and grill by T-rex for now.
Any info. would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I talked the dealer who I purchased my 300C from, he also happens to be my neighbor, and asked him about this "drifting" problem and he indicated that he had put approximately 25 cars on the street and had not received one complaint concerning this issue. I sincerely hope that if anyone does experience this condition, that they work with Chrysler and/or the dealership rather than take "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" approach and trash the car on the internet.

I got mine fixed. I dropped it off at 2:00 PM and had it back the next day at 11:00 AM. Unbelieveable how much of a difference it is. I just accepted the fact that my car was going to drift a little, but Im so glad I had it fixed, because it doesnt drift the slightest bit anymore.

Go get it fixed!

I am having the pulling to the right issue as well. I have had the car in the service department 3 just for the alignment alone, not to mention the 4 other times I have been to the service department for all the little things I found wrong with the car after I bought it. I currently am looking into the lemon law in my state about these issues. I was told today (while at the dealership again) that a chrysler "specialist" will be in town soon to take a look at my car. They have put in the fix kit chrysler put out, and it did help slightly, but the car still pulls horribly to the right, i just dont have to fight the wheel as much or hold the sterring wheel of center like before. Its becoming a real pain in the ass with this car, but from the looks of it, one way or another they will be giving me another car.

I was just thinking about it, and my dealer said I was the "dummy car" for a new procedure that Chrysler released to fix the problem. I dont know if they havent had any other 300c's come back with the problem or if there really is a "new" way to correct the problem. I just got mine fixed on Tuesday (6/22) so it's possible.

LakersFan- Do you know what procedure the dealer used to fix your auto?

If it's fixed, there are people wanting to know this info.

I dont know the procedure but my dealerships number is 727-393-4621 and the service man's name is Dino.

The new "fix" is a kit that chrysler put out but i had mine already done and it still pulls to the right bad, so at this point they told me there is a rep from chrysler coming into town to look at my car, so we'll see what happens, its been said thatr ill probably get another car.

Thanks for all the info. Really appreciate the feedback.

On a different note, I took the resonator off and it now sounds like the car has some attitude. Feels like the engine breathes a little easier too. In the past, during idle, the car shook a little. Now that the resonator's off, the shakings dropped off quite a bit.
