Please, Advice, Support

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


ANY HELP?

Thanks

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.

auto dim driver side mirror will fog , just give it time
tranny is a slush box, odd shifting
rattles all over, dash, sun roof sags
tie rods, control arm seem to fail early
Chrome clad wheels flake at lip

my list of problems, let not even bring up trade in value

Well all you have made me feel once again somewhat better i suppose.!

However, In Order Hopefully

Mr Incredible - That sucks huge salty balls / and i guess good at the same time

Goofytiml - Aren't you special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Adogg - Yes it does! The thing that scars me the most is that I have the Fing nicest Heritage 300C With the proper American Badging and would literally stab myself in the throat if i had to have the new one it's gaudy. 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.

otherwise thanks everyone much appreciated

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!

Hey... I'm not special... just Goofy! Despite the problems you've had and your opinion of the product, if you can find the energy or interest, please consider posting your H.E. build info in my Make Our Own Build Sequence for Heritage Editions thread. The info to post is described in Post #1.

Thanks.
