2004 Chrysler 300m. Consumer writes in regards to numerous suspension problems and repairs. *Smd the check engine light illuminated, the struts, tie rods, radiator, fuel pump, sway bar bushings, cam shaft sensor were all replaced. The struts and tie rods were replaced several times.

Diagnostics show code p0344 cam shaft position sensor. It was repaired under recall j18 in aug 09. Called bob moore dealership (completed recall work) & chrysler recall line. They both say won't repair under original recall. This is the same exact part/problem. Is there any way to get them to honor this? My cruise control shuts itself off, lights dim, and fails to start on occasion.

UNSAFE CAR. *TR

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler 300m. The vehicle would intermittently stall without any prior warnings. As a consequence his risk for a vehicle crash was increased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the cam shaft along with the crank-shaft position sensors were replaced. Two days after the repair the failure resurfaced. The interior lights also flickered on and then off and the steering column began to vibrate violently. None of the repairs have remedied the failures. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 22000. The current mileage was 84,000.

While accelerating onto the freeway, at approx. 55Mph, in very heavy traffic with many big-rigs in the mix, the "check engine" light came on and the car suddenly lost power and began to shudder/miss out when accelerating. I had to quickly navigate over 3 lanes of fast moving traffic to avoid being rear-ended. I was able to drive slowly to a repair shop, but the engine would not rev above 2200 rpm. The service shop has tried 4 times to repair the car, each time replacing various sensors that were indicated by the engine computer. After each repair, the car would run fine for 2-3 days before having the same failure. It is still not repaired. I feel this is a serious safety problem. *Tr

Randomly my car will cut off while I am driving. Sometimes I can wait for a few minutes and it will start up again (not very often). I can wiggle the wire to the control valve (i think that is what it is called, it is in the very front of the engine towards the right side), the car will then start. I have been in some very bad situations and am afraid of what may happen if this causes me to have an accident. I have went to a car repair shop and they said it may be caused by the cam positioning. I travel a lot with my grandchildren and do not feel safe. *Tr

I just bought my car used in january 2008 and the check engine light has been on and the car is hard to start. However, the car did pass inspection because the problem that I'm having isn't considered failing during inspection. I took the car to be diagnosed and the engine cool packs all had to be replaced. After the parts were replaced, the check engine light is still on, the car still shimmies and it is still hard to start. This happens everytime I start the car! *Tr

Just driving down the road and my car stalled then lurched forward while I was in an intersection almost causing an accident. The repair shop stated a sensor had to be reprogrammed due to problems with the flywheel. I was told this problem will happen again as the flywheel in my vehicle is known to cause this problem. Something about flexing and cracking. It is my belief that this is a manufactures defect. *Jb

Rough idle and check engine light comes on at times. This car only has 33k miles on it !!! Dealer says this is normal for the 300m special. *Jb

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 5 mph the air bag lamp illuminated. As a result, the horn does not work. The contact verbally spoke with the dealer about the problem. Engine check light appeared. Fuel emission control:canister was leaking, and dealer replaced canister. Also replaced hood latch. *Ak

2005 Chrysler 300m engine light appeared on the dash and the vehicle received a recall to replace the hood latch.*Mr the dealer informed the consumer that the evap pump was the cause of the problem. The evap pump was replaced twice in an effort to alleviate the problem. *Nm the consumer indicated that his vehicle only get 15 mpg. The vehicle is driven mostly on the highway. *Nm

Dt*: the consumer stated the check engine and air bag lights illuminated and the engine stalled. After stalling, the engine gave off a burning odor throughout the vehicle. The consumer had to wait 5-10 minutes before trying to restart the engine. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership and the air bag sensor was replaced, however the problem still persists. *Jb

My cars since new has had very rough idle at times. I bought the car brand new in dec 03 and they have already had to pull the heads and replace head gaskets for an over heating issue that popped up. There are also several rattles in the car. *Ak
