2005 Chrysler 300 Suspension Problems

Reverse gear went out after vehicle slipped once, acted as if in neutral when in reverse and pressing gas pedal down but would not move. Had local towing and mechanic shop in Gower Missouri check transmission fluid level in which was found to be a quart low on transmission fluid. Car had been extremely well maintained and all recommended maintenance services completed by previous owners. Able to drive car in all other gears, codes p0007 code appear with no check engine light or any type of warning or indication that a problem was present within my 2005 Chrysler 300 3.5l v6 rwd car with the 42rle transmission My vehicle also has issues occur suddenly regarding front end suspension has death shake and very loud clinking popping banging noises while driving at all speeds. Steering wheel has a weird squeek/creeking noise when turning the wheel at times and feels like steering is loose. Tie rod end and sway link bar on front passenger right side of vehicle is bent opposite direction it is supposed to and car also has higher rpm than normal and shifting at higher rpms. Went into limp mode twice which I reset myself due to having an emergency where I had to drive it. With the suspension and steering issues it causes a safety risk due to sway link and tie rod end breaking causing vehicle to crash and wheel to detach from vehicle. Transmission gear loss due to transmission fluid leaking and gear linkage issues causes safety risk due to the event of reversing to move out of the way and to avoid potential harm to passengers (my 5 young children) within the vehicle in the event the vehicle can't move from the place parked. The vehicle is available to be inspection and has been checked out by 3 different mechanic shops located in Gower, saint Joseph, and Savannah Missouri all in which stateed verbally that low fluid due to leak somewhere from transmission and poor linkage components within gear solenoid and possible pcm and mil issues to be at fault of vehicle mufacture

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, GOING 25 MPH WHEN I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND, I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD HIT BUT, IT WASN'T. I KEPT DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 BLOCKS WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN. I PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS MY TIE RODS. I CONTACTED A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT ITS WAS THE TIE RODS. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN ALL THE YEARS I HAVE HAD MY CAR, BUT THIS IS A FIRST. NOT SURE IF THIS IS UNDER A RECALL OR IF ANYONE ELSE IS EXPERIENCING THIS, BUT IT CAN BE FRIGHTENING. *TR

THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK AT THE REAR OF VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR AXLE PINION SEAL AND YOKE. ALSO ON THIS DAY THE TRIM PIECE AROUND THE DRIVERS SEAT CAME LOOSE AND THEY REPLACED THE SIX (6) SCREWS THAT HAD FALLEN OUT. NEXT THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR CLIP BROKE AND THEY REPLACED IT. AS OF THIS REPORT, JUNE 6, 2013, BOTH VISOR CLIPS ARE BROKEN. LASTLY, THE CARPET ON THE FLOOR BOARD FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IS COMING UP. 02/17/05, THERE WAS A RECALL ON VEHICLE D29 REPROGRAM PCM AND TCM08-D2-91-82, RECALL ON VEHICLE D28 BATTERY CABLE STUD FASTENERS RECALL D28 INSPECT BULKHEAD STUD 08-D2-81-82 ; RECALL ON VEHICLE D50 RADIATOR ISOLATOR BRACKETS. THE BOLTS WERE BROKEN AND REPLACED WITH RAD SUPPORT BRACKETS 07-30-10-50 07-D5-01-82. I WAS CHARGED 32.05 FOR LABOR, G.O.G., EPA PLUS TAX. 08/24/07, SLACK IN LEFT OUTTER TIE ROD END. THE SEEING OIL LIGHT WAS REPLACED ON 05/22/09 FOR $166.63 AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BLEEDER HOUSING (LEAKING) $197; WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT $854.00. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY ON 07/02/12. THE KEY COMES OUT OF IGNITION SWITCH WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON 8/7/13 . THE ECU REPLACED ON 8/22/12, CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 25 MPH AND RPM STUCK @ 1000. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED ON 05/13/13, HAD A LEAK. THE TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP AND PLENUM GASKET WAS REPLACED ON 06/03/13 AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THAT ETC LIGHT ARE STILL FLASHING IN THE DASH. THE REASON "SUPPOSEDLY" NOW IS THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR MECHANICS TO HAVE CAR OWNERS TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THIS IS AS OF JUNE 6, 2013. I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE MONEY, TIME NOR PATIENCE FOR THIS VEHICLE! OBVIOUSLY, IT IS A LEMON, BY NO STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE OBVIOUS FRAUDULENT ADVERTISEMENT OF THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM SEEKING TO SUE THE COMPANY. THEY KNEW VEHICLE WAS NO GOOD. *TR

I NOTICED THAT WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IT JUST NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND DROVE DOWN THE HWY AND IT BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. I WENT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID TO ME THAT THE ALIGNMENT MACHINE SAID THAT IT WAS ALIGNED JUST PERFECT. SO I TOOK THE REPAIRMAN ON A TEST DRIVE AND AGAIN IT PULL TO THE RIGHT. SO BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WE WENT AND THEY REPLACE A BOLT OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT(TSB) AND IT STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT. I NOTICE A LOT OF THE 05 MODELS HAVE THAT PROBLEM, BUT IT SEEMS AS THOUGH CHRYSLER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM ON THE 06 AND NEWER MODELS. WHEN YOU HIT DIVOT IN THE RD. THE FRONT END SHAKES AND BASICALLY THE FRONT TIRES ACTUALLY LEAVE THE RD. FOR A BRIEF SECOND. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET AND ALL THAT THE SERVICEMAN TELLS ME IS THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR WAS DESIGN.(WHICH I DOUBT SERIOUSLY) IF THAT WAS THE CASE THEN I AND A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS OF THE CHRYSLER 300 WOULDN'T HAVE PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED THE CHRYSLER 300 JAN 2005 AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS VEHICLE STARTED PULLING TO THE RIGHT. WE TOOK THE CAR IN 3 TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF HAVING IT AND THEY TRIED TO FIX, SAID THEY HAD AND WAS NOT. ON THE FINAL ATTEMPT, THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP ON OUR OWN TO FIX, "WE TRIED." NOW, AFTER 3 YEARS DRIVING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE A NEW PROBLEM, THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE BROKE. WE WERE TOLD SORRY, ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE HAVE TO PAY 1000.00 TO FIX. ANOTHER DEALER, SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE 800. II WAS TOLD THAT OUR CLUSTER WOULD BE SENT OUT AND REPLACED WITH A REFURBISHED ONE. SO WE DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED, WE DECIDED TO PURCHASE ONE ON OUR OWN (FROM A JUNK YARD OR REFURBISHED) AND NOW THE MILEAGE NEEDS TO BE RESET. BUT WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULD JUST RESET THE MILEAGE FOR 100 DOLLARS. TOOK THE CAR IN NOW BEING TOLD THAT WE CAN NOT DO THAT. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IF THEY PUT IN A REFURBISHED ONE OR WE DID, IT STILL NEEDS TO BE RESET. IT SEEM TO ME, THEY STILL WANT THE MONEY TO FIX AND THAT'S AL THEY CARE ABOUT! WHEN IT SHOULD BE ONLY 100.00 TO FIX NOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 300C THAT I BOUGHT IN APRIL 2007, IT ONLY HAD 14425, MILES, WHEN I TESTED DROVE IT, I NOTICE THAT IT WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A LOW TIRE, AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE CAR FROM THE TIME I SAW IT. AS WEEKS WENT BY AND AFTER PLACING AIR IN ALL TIRES, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND STATED MY PROBLEM, THEY ASKED ME TO COME IN. I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING AND THEY RECOMMEND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT I PAID FOR. I DROVE IT HOME AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING, PULLING TO THE RIGHT, I CALLED THEM AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT, THIS TIME THE SAID IT WAS THE TIRES, SO I REPLACED THE TIRES AND PUT THE GOODYEAR ASSURANCE ON IT, AND AGAIN PAID FOR THAT. I TOOK OFF AGAIN FOR HOME, AND NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED THE CAR AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT FIXED. THEY SAID TO ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AFTER I HAVE SPENT THE MONEY MYSELF TRYING TO REPAIR A PROBLEM WHEN I STILL HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVER, THAT WHEN CHRYSLER COME OUT WITH A FIX I WOULD BE NOTIFIED. THIS IS WRONG, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM, AND GIVE US BACK OUR MONEY THAT WE HAVE SPENT IN TRYING TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. *JB UPDATED 11/26/07

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 WHICH SUFFERS FROM ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE UNDER POWER, LEAVING ME WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE SHOP FIVE SEPARATE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND HAS NOT AS YET BEEN REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE MAIN COMPLAINT I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN ITSELF EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. IN THIS INSTANCE, WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ELECTRICAL FAILURE, THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN WAS PULLING IT INTO THE SHOP TO LOOK AT IT, AND THE LEFT FRONT CONTROL ARM ON THE VEHICLE SNAPPED IN TWO. UPON OBSERVATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT FRONT CONTROL ARM WAS SEVERELY BENT AND READY TO SNAP. THE REPLACEMENT CONTROL ARMS ARE TWICE THE THICKNESS, AND TWICE AS HEAVY, AS THE ORIGINAL. THIS IS PROOF BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT CHRYSLER NOT ONLY KNEW THAT THE ORIGINAL CONTROL ARMS WERE DEFECTIVE AND/OR INEFFECTIVE, BUT THAT CHRYSLER CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE ISSUANCE OF A RECALL FOR THE SAID DEFECTIVE/INEFFECTIVE PART. BREAKING CONTROL ARMS ON THE VEHICLE CONSTITUTE A KNOWN VEHICULAR HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY, DEATH, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I HEREBY REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE 2005 CHRYSLER AND ANY OTHER OF THE CHRYSLER VEHICLE(S) WHICH MAY USE THE SAME CONTROL ARMS, PART NUMBER 4782561AE, IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY. THIS DEFECT ENDANGERS NOT ONLY THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT ALSO OTHER DRIVERS WHO MAY BE IN THE WAY WHEN THE CONTROL ARMS SNAP. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST ?TOO BAD? AND THAT I COULD NOT PROVE I HAD NOT DONE SOMETHING WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I ADVISED THEM I KNEW THAT THEY HAD REPLACED THEIR INVENTORY WITH BIGGER, STRONGER CONTROL ARMS. UTILIZING THE ?REASONABLE PERSON? LEGAL TENANT, ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *JB
