I have replaced 7 goodyear tires on my 1999 300m as well as one chrome rim (several serious blowouts). the driver & passenger window motors required replacement. have mysterious 2 inch dashboard crack near passenger side airbag. replaced sensors (crank case?). chafing wires cause unexpected stalls & failures. local dealer trying to diagnose current problem-car stalls after shift into drive. afraid to keep a car with only 42,000 miles. love the look & room of the car but may be too dangerous to risk stalling on a highway at 65mph or missing an interview. *ak | |||

Left rear window stuck in up position. will not operate at all. paid for extended warranty and the dealer says that it is not covered, yet i see a real history of this same complaint for both this car and it's sister - the intrepid. *ph | |||

There were problems with electric windows and a crack in the dash. the electric windows had stuck shut due to the tight seal designed to reduce the wind noise, and the crack in the dash was around the passenger side air bag and appeared where the material was stretched over the air bag underneath. also, when the vehicle was two months old, the front wheel rotors had to be replaced, the battery was replaced in the first year, before 50k a defective bearing on the cooling fan was required to be replaced. *mr *scc *nlm | |||

Power window motor has failed/been replaced 5 times, it is now out again and manufacture/dealer refuses to cover under warranty because of vehicle milage. i have found from other owners of this vehicle that this is a common failure in this vehicle. i believe that the manufacture should fix and recall defective components. *ak | |||

The power windows have malfunctioned on every windon in the vehicle. the power window motors have been replaced 8 times. each time they are under warranty, but warranty runs out soon. regarding the front suspension. the car shimmies and the steering is loose (steering wheel shacks in your hands). had front end alignment done but this did not fix the problem. contemplating new tires but see others with similar problems and this did not correct the problem.*ak | |||
