| I have had numerous problems with my chrysler 300, which are becoming more costly and defeating the purpose of my purchasing a new car. first, i was subject to a recall regarding the transmission. next, the rack and pinion went out. thankfully that was covered under warranty. now i have to repair the outer tie rods when i have less than 75,000 miles on the car. this repair is $500.00 on top of what i have to pay for the car payment and is not covered under warranty. the brakes recently had to be replaced (another $350.00) and i am also being presented with issues pertaining to the oil pan (which apparently is made of plastic). *tr | |||

| Dt: the consumer owns a 2005 chrysler 300c. the car sits too low on the ground. the dealership stated they do not have the authority to alter the vehicle. the manufacturer stated that they had never heard of this problem this is just the way the car is made. while getting off of a turn pike there was a turtle coming across the road but it was between the tires and the bottom of his car, the vehicle scrapped over the turtle. again while driving it was raining the consumer was in the middle lane the car in front ran over something and he hit it and it wedged under his car he could not turn left or right he had to drive a quarter mile to get off the road and he could not get under the car so he hit it with a golf club and later found out that it was a hard hat that got stuck. *jb | |||

| The previous owner had mentioned the bumper / skid plate problems he had before. i then was careful as to where i parked. well, i parked the car in front of a convinient store and as i pulled back, the front bumper caught on to the cement block and cracked the bumper as well as pulling most of the skid plate from under the car. as i drove home i heard some pieces fall on to the road but could not pull aside to pick them up or i would of gotten hit by a car. i took the car to a body shop and they told me these cars have that problem all the time. i have noticed that 99% of the chrysler 300 that i see on the street also have the same thing, hanging bumbers and skid plates. i did call to see if there were any recalls for this and i was told there was not. i don't think this is acceptable. they come from the manufactor, with what i would call a defect and they should take responsability in fixing them and correcting the problem so that any future chryslers do not have this problem. thank you in advance for your attention in this matter. | |||

| The floors in the front are not solid underneath the carpet. there's no bottom. there's 7 of space between the carpet and the body of the car. i took it in to the dealer and they said that's the way the car was made and they are not sure of why it was designed like that. | |||
