My 2005 300 has had multi-problems since I bought it brand new in 2005. 1st the water out housing has been replaced twice and Chrysler refuses to admit there is a problem with it, the gear shifter assembly has gone out on it at only 25K, that was not allowing me to shift from park to any gear. The oil pressure switch just went out today, I'm so sick of this car and most of all sick of Chrysler not accepting responsibility for any of this. Some of these issues pose a serious safety concern and will cause a tragic accident if not addressed promptly and repaired by Chrysler at no cost to the customer.

Day after purchase noticed load roar and steering wheel vibrating when the compressor for the air condition kicked on and off, called dealership and was told to keep driving maybe it will work itself out, maybe a kink. I am now on my fourth visit and the problem is progressing. The vehicle now stutters and almost dies each time the compressor kicks on and off. The dealership located in crystal city, mo is still figuring out how to handle the problem, which started the day after purchase.
