Anyone work for Chrysler on this forum? Or does anyone have any information about this issue? If so any info would be greatly appreciated.
It may take awhile for you to wait DC out waiting for a big rebate or low financing on a 300C. It may be that they've found they don't need to do it for this vehicle.
I took the $500 and got 4.25% financing from the credit union.
Enjoying the C.
"I have a good credit score at 850. So I am not too happy with having to get a 5.95% But at the same time I am getting tired of playing the waiting game with Chrysler".
850 is not a good score, it is the highest credit score available. With that kind of score and an acceptable DTI ratio you should be able to walk into any lender and get no more than a 4% apr.
BTW in my years of selling money I have NEVER seen an actual 850 score. Congrats.
they claim 300 is the most awarded car ever in history, ?????
is that really true ?

The Chrysler 300 Touring model with the "signature series" package costs $30,540, including destination. It has a navigation system, Sirius Satellite Radio, a moonroof, a Boston Acoustics sound system and other upgrades.
So my question is this...... When can we start seeing these vehicles at the dealer?
Chrysler spent many millions of dollars revamping the 2.7 for that application. The base is probably the best deal on the market right now, but you have to get the stability control! The touring will also have that. If you live where there is snow, that's the ONLY way to go. As far as markup, it's only $400 different.
They mean awards for NEW cars in one year. Accord and Camry make lists for years and years, but that's not the same thing, is it? :shades:
Chrysler spokesman Max Gates said that a plug inside the transmission may be missing or improperly staked, potentially preventing the driver from placing the shifter in the “park” position. No accidents or injuries have been associated with the possible defect, he said."
However, the 2005 Chrysler 300 link at New Chrysler Recalls page at automotive.com doesn't indicate anything about a transmission recall... only seat belts and battery cables... as of the time of this post.
On the Chrysler Recall Contact site you have to have the last eight characters of your VIN to find out about any recalls specific to your vehicle.
I've started my google search to see if the 300s have had air conditioning issues, and came across this forum which I'll be looking at from now on.
Got my 2006 300 Touring 3.5 V6 in May. The first week the AC started blowing out hot from the AC side and cold on the Heat side of the control. Now this is the standard control that the base model has, not the fancier one. Dealer replaced it with same saying the controller was defective.
Thing is it's blows about 5 seconds of heat before the AC kicks in. Now living in SFla, its possible..but not when it's in a covered garage.
Kicker was driving back from Orlando last week, when Aircon 'mist cloud' came through the vents for half an hour and the last hour of driving had no AC. The fan wouldn't blow at any speed low or high. Had it off for an hour and tried it again and it was working again!
Anyone had this kind of issue or know of the problem?
My job has me flying out of the country so going to the dealer is REALLY a hardship, though I know I've got to go this time, was hoping someone could help me steer the conversation so that I only have to go in once for the repair instead of thinking it's a car with a lemon AC and going in for constant warrenty repair.
Thanks,
Adam
Now I can go back to dreaming of the next thing to do to the car while keeping the stock look..Window Tint. Maybe Huper Optik for night time visability.
Thanks Bob!
I called two dealers in two different states to verify this and got the same answer. Does anyone have any ideas?
you might still come out ahead vs. a Cadillac or the SRT-8.
it says that the Option Build Out Date is 12/23/2005.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
On paper, performance is pretty good. 0-60 in 7.3 seconds, top speed 143mph, and 376lb of torque in the mid-range.
What do you think of this? More performance than 3.5L six and better fuel economy.
Not available in North America, not yet anyway.
Enjoy the ride! :shades:
Perhaps you can be more specific about the "negative things" you read about the way the AWD car "handle/drives" in comparison to the RWD.

Obviously I need to upgrade the map DVD, but before I fork over $150 for a new release, I would like to know if the coverage for Western Canada is now any better. I called the 800 number listed in the manual, but the person who answered could barely find Canada on the map, let alone provide any information about the coverage for Western Canada.
If anyone has a newer release of the software than I have, and are located in Alberta, can you please let me know if the coverage is any better once you leave Edmonton or Calgary? If you provide the software version you have that would help me when I order as well.
While I'm at it, is there any way to set the nav system up so that when you switch to it, you don't have to hit enter on that annoying acknowledge screen, then cancel to view the map of where you currently are???
Thanks in Advance for any help you can provide!
Of course, I will go and road test one before buying. It's just that AWD's a little hard to find. But I do appreciate your comments, thanks all!
There are much cheaper and better systems available on the market and I can sure buy a lot of maps for the 2800 bucks they were asking for my factory order.
Save your money until someone can give you a definite answer, and as far as your comment on the conversation you had with the person at the 1-800 number, it is pretty sad that they can't find someone who at least took geography at school!!!!!
