Sorry to hear youre having problems with your car and the dealer but me too i've been having vibration problems even when i had the stock wheels on and if i can remember clearly it was around that speed as well (mine is RWD by the way) and also this is sources chrysler??, im surprised cause i used to go to pie-ix but they screwed me over with warranty issues and tried to make me pay for my alignment!, i was furious!!!

,so after that i've been going to sources ever since and they take care of me very well, and i know the president there,one of the service managers, very nice guys ,much better than the a-holes at pie-ix ,thats for sure! Well anyways i hope everything goes well and you solve this problem and by the way,im pretty sure ive seen your car there, its very possible that it was yours considering the fact you brought it there like 7 times already.

Yup, Sources Chrysler. They tried to make me think that it was all in my head. That a-hole Lemire even tried to blame the vibration on a "misinstalled MOPAR CAI"! This guy is fried. THen he got so fed up (in my opinion) that he even convinced the Chrysler rep that my car was "within spec"! Crazy! Too bad because one of my friends is a salesman there and I have brought him a lot of customers. My sister was the last one to buy a car from them. I told my friend this is the last time you see me buy a car from you guys... Now I'm dealing with Desmeules Chrysler in Laval. The service manager seems to know a lot more about what he's talking about, more so than the guy at Des Sources. That guy has probably been there so long that he's part of the furniture by now. Sorry about my rant, but everytime even mentions that place, my blood pressure rises!!!

So what does the Desmeules service department say about your car?

There waiting on Chrysler's engineers... I'll probably have news after the holidays...

I didn't read through all these threads but I just wanted to chip in...

I have a Limited AWD and I have the vibration problem also, I had it road force balanced and it is as perfect as you can get. My dealer said that Chrysler found it to be the tires and it was a common problem. Sometimes I get it at about 60 and sometimes I don't...

Well.....

The Chrysler tech finally took my car for a test drive.

He acknowledged the brake induced vibration (including the originals I have had 3 sets of rotors starting at 7K miles). He is unsure of the cause but thinks an on car resurfacing might be a solution.

He said he did not detect a speed induced shimmy and any vibration he did experience was normal. However, it was apparent after my car was returned that they had been adjusting front tire pressures. The wheel still has a shimmy at 70-75 that is detectable by both feel and sight.

I informed the dealer that whether or not the Chrysler Tech could detect the shimmy was mute. The defect had already been determined to exist by two dealerships and a couple of independent tire shops. If there was no shimmy why was I on the third set of front tires?

I am not sure what the go forward plan is from here....I probably need to contact the state lemon law people. I have already contacted a lemon law lawyer to evaluate my case.

While I understand this forum only represents a very small percenatage of people who purchased 300's, it is very disconcerting how similar our experiences are dealing with DCX. Their total disregard and lack of respect for their customers is baffling for a company obviously trying to move upmarket. Anyway, I hope the rest of you have better luck than I have.
