Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This past weekend after taking a day trip to va i discovered a leak under the front hood. it smelled and looked like oil. the previous monday i had my oil changed at the local chrysler dealer and thought that maybe something may be wrong with the filter. on monday the 31st of mar i talked to the service mgr and he told me to bring it in. he looked under the hood and under the engine and found that it was a power steering leak not an oil leak. he stated that this is a common problem with the 300m. i stated that this seems to be mfg'ing problem. he stated it didn't happen to all of them so that is why it was not a recall or service bulletin. i disagree with his statement. i had extended warranty to they fixed it and it cost me $100.00 deductible. i feel this is not something i should have paid for. according to this dealer this is a problem with the 300m and it should be identified as a recall or at least a service bulletin. *nlm
