My 1999 300 M has the following issue: ******* recall id # 57541 - seats:front assembly:reclinerplushide details recall date: Feb 05, 2003 model affected: 1999 Chrysler 300M summary: On certain passenger vehicles, seat back recliner bolt breakage can occur resulting in the seat back reclining unexpectedly. Consequences: If the seat back unexpectedly reclines while the car is being driven, it could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: Dealers will replace the recliner bolts. Owner notification began on April 23, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact DaimlerChrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Potential units affected: 1066000 ******* my complaint is with Chrysler. The dealer (jack key in las cruces) says the car was fixed in 2005 (I know it was not because I have owned the car since I drove it off of the show room floor). Dealer say not covered by recall. Called above 800 # and Chrysler says same. Dealer says I have to pay for fix. It's not the money that bothers me. It's the fact that I have the exact problem that a recall states and the company is not going to fix it for free. Chrysler says they fixed it but yet the exact problem still exists, that's not a fix. Replacing a faulty/going to break/recalled product/... with the exact same part is not a fix in my book. When you recall something, you fix it with something that won't get recalled again. Chrysler, it's the little things like this that cost you customers. Thank you,

Crash in Chrysler 300M. I had adjusted my seat when I got in my car. As I was driving, the seat detached from track and pulled away, subsequently I rear ended another car. I made the complaint to Chrysler who made a recall on the seat bolt but I was not notified of the recall. I have had the same/forwarded address.

Made a moderately hard stop at a stop light and the bowling ball which was in the trunk, knocked the rear seat back flat and went flying forward hitting the drivers back seat.
