NHTSA Complaint #10462380 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300C

A/C HAS NEVER RAN COLD SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WE WENT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO SEE IF IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT EACH TIME THE DEALER CLAIMED NO RECALL ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER 300C A/C SYSTEM, WE EVEN CHECKED THE WEB FOR RECALLS BUT WE FOUND NOTHING. I FOUND THE PROBLEM MYSELF IN JULY 2005, IT SEEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH BAD SCHRADER VALVES HIGH AND LOW, OVER THE YEARS I JUST ADDED FREON, BUT NOW THE LEAK IS SO BAD IT WON'T HOLD A CHARGE MORE THAN 5 DAYS, WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THE A/C SYSTEM WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A FULL EVAC OF THE SYSTEM, REPLACEMENT OF THE BAD SCHRADER VALVES PLUS LABOR AND TAXES. WE CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE INVOLVED. OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH LOWER TIE ROD ENDS, THE TIE ROD ENDS THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE LOOK REALLY CHEAP AS WELL AS THE AFTER MARKET PARTS. WE HAD THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WORKED ON TWICE, EACH TIME JUST BEFORE THE STABILITY LIGHT COME ON WE NOTICE THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY, THE DASH LIGHTS HAS ALWAYS FLICKERED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMS REPLACING THE STABILITY PART IN THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, AS OF TODAY JUNE 20, 2012 THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING AGAIN WHICH MEANS ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALER.
