MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WITH 41,000 MILES HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY KEYFOBS. BOTH FOBS NOW DO NOT WORK. THE CONTROL PANEL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE PANEL STILL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER OPENING THE SPARE FOB TO REPLACE ITS BATTERY, FOUND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SINCE MY CAR WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY (THE CAR IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD), I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $311 FOR TWO NEW KEY FOBS AND PROGRAMMING. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DEALING WITH LOCKING THE CAR, AND THEN UNLOCKING IT THROUGH THE DOOR, LETTING THE HORN SOUND AND THE LIGHTS FLASH, LOOKING AS IF I AM STEALING MY OWN CAR UNTIL I CAN DROP ALL MY PACKAGES IN MY HAND AND GET IN BEHIND THE WHEEL AND INSERT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION. OTHER PROBLEMS, AFTER 15,000 MILES, THE CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED. FIGHT FOR THIS PROBLEM WITH CONTINENTAL PEOPLE! AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS AND FAXES, CONTINENTAL DID REPLACE THE TIRES AT A CHARGE OF $250 FOR FOUR NEW TIRES. THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON THIS CAR WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE BUTTON WHICH CONTROLS THE VIEW BROKE ALL THREE TIMES. ALL THE SPEAKERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE CAR. SINCE IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY CAN'T BE REPLACED AGAIN. THEY SOUND AWFUL AND THAT IS THE WAY THEY HAVE TO STAY UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO UPGRADE MY "PREMIUM" CHRYSLER STEREO SYSTEM WITH A PREMIUM SYSTEM FROM AN ELECTRONIC STORE. THE SUNROOF WAS NOT CLOSING PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY PERFORMED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE. TWO WEEKS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH AND WAS FLOODED WITH WATER COMING THROUGH THE SUNROOF. Z *NM

PURCHASED A 05, 300 TOURING, SIGNATURE SERIES, OCT 04. NOTICED AFTER DRIVING CAR HOME (100 MILES) CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT EVERY REQUIRED MILEAGE LIMITS. CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR PULLING TO THE RIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES AND ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE. GOOD YEAR TIRES WORE OUT AT 23K MILES. DEALER STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT TIRES SHOWED IMPROPER WEAR THROUGHOUT THE SERVICING PERIODS. I HAD TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOME STORY THAT IT WILL PREVENT ME FROM GOING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC IF I PASS OUT AT THE WHEEL. FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WHEN USING AIR CONDITIONER, ROAD NOISE IS BAD, POWER TRAIN AND REAR END LEAKS, THE PLASTIC SUNVISOR HOLDERS BREAK OFTEN (REPLACED TWICE).
