So first question is....... Are all three Hundreds Gigantic piles of American S**t or is the fact of my probably close to twenty thousand dollars in replacement parts just normal s**t for all cars?
I have literally spent all of the first year owning this car in the shop the car is just falling apart limb from limb.
Not to mention the dealership themselves are a bunch of fing retarded pirates.
After day one and almost driving into to every on-coming median do to alignment issues. I lost my car that i Owned for Three weeks....
So ready brase yourselves after getting the car delivered from the factory they take it into the shop and the dealership can not align it into Chrysler specs. So they send it to the body and get ready they drop the ENGINE out of the car take apart ALL THE FACTORY SEALED BOLTS AND then put it back together after realizing that it was a bent control arm WHAT!!!!!! that was probably damaged from the shipping company.
Well the list really does go on even after that and on and on for a year. Some of the problems where
Dvd Nav Replaced four times before they got it right. It also was from canada anyone have one from canada.
Rack and Pinion
Struts
Brakes Rotors
Tires
Rims
Rear Axle
Interiour fixtures
Leather
Windows locks and Actuator
Window tint
Front bezel defrosters
Transmission slipping reset computer fixed it
I MEAN REALLY IS THERE SOMEONE ON THESE FORUMS THAT HAS A GOOD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY UNDERSTAND AUTOMOBILES
shifter chrome assembly
on and on
in one year like i said falling the F apart
Best thing is that some of you might think your good with your car mine doesnt know what dust is........ let alone any other substance than water.
Cleaned ever other day and waxed top to bottom Month at the longest.
So this really does continue on for an unbelievable amount of wasted life but
I may jink myself but maybe I got one of the good ones. I have had mine for over a year and not one problem. Agiain it's only been a year but it drives like a dream.
I've had over $27K in warranty work.. so yeah. I have a love/hate relationship with my car..
only saving grace is I found a dealer that actually has a clue and works with me not against me on my issues..
*touching wood now* since the main wire harness, all the computers, the motor, transmission, rear end, and me changing the suspension, end links, torshion struts and brake to after market, car runs great.. :rollseyes:
I've had thwo "C" (a regular '05 and the current '06 H.E.) and the MSRT8 and none have had all the problems you have stated. Sorry to hear about that, but I suppose a lemon can come off the line at any particular time... but it hasn't happened to me, or many people here AFAIK.

The long badging really i Know its silly but look up pictures 08 looked perfect it was perfection. 09 10 wow someone obviously doesnt like automobiles.....
Charliedrums - thank you your probably right
2005 300c - my Bytches ass will never sag my auto dim will never fog the Tranny was doomed from the day Walter P Chrysler Came up with the idea to make The 300 ( do you have kids and you should know that the second anyone touches the liner it will sag no matter what thats why i have a strict policy i will Fing chop your hand off if you touch my liner, and yes my rack and pinion and struts replaced already the control arm bent from the get go and my unbelievable expensive upgraded chrome clad wheels or whatever those piles of crap are haven't stop making the noises 30,000 dollar less cars make who the f wants to roll up in a 51000 300c and turn into the spot and some VIP lane and there is the noise of little elves clanking away to make Christmas on time.

ANY HELP?

Gad Zooks, sounds like your car is definitely a lemon! I've got 72K on our 06 C and other than tie rods at 65K, it has been trouble free. Wife, who is primary driver, loves the car and shes kind of a lead foot. Sorry you have so many issues. Would suggest you look into the lemon law requirements in your state for possible application to your situation. Good luck!
