300C

  • 32,000 miles
On May 6, 2010 reported to Chrysler that the hood of my 2006 300C would not stay in a up right position. Current mileage at time of report 32,000. When I first raised hood, it stayed up right for a moment and than came crashing down on my head. I raised hood again and found that hood would only stay in up right position for a moment and then crash down to the close position. The struts that hold hood up right have to be replaced and Chrysler offer to replace for $50. I find this offer unacceptable. With only 32,000 miles on car, I figure hood is only open approx. 11 times for car maintenance. With hood crashing down sudden can cause serious injury to head, back, hands and other body parts. I consider this a very unsafe condition and a recall should be put in place and struts replaced at no charge to customer.
