| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The first thing i noticed was about 6 months after the purchase of my 2000 chrysler 300 m in 2003 (less than 50,000 on the vehicle at the time) was a popping noise when making right turns. i took it back to the dodge dealer where i purchased it from and was told it was nothing. within 2 years, i went through two sets of 50,000 mile tires/ finally, the bolt in the rack assemble broke (in a parking lot thank god) a piece of the bolt was left in the assembly. this led to 1200 in repair work. a year later, there was so much play in the steering it was non drivable. i took it into the shop again and paid another 1100 to replace tire rods and other front end parts due again to "torque problems" with the steering. i have since had the same, brand new bolt tightened twice to keep it from snapping again. also, been through an additional set of tires. chrysler needs to do something. i am not the only person with this problem that i know, and there are websites complaining about it all over the place. *ak |
