Consumer Description

JUST PURCHASED USED CHRYSLER 300 TOURING AWD SEDAN WITH 56,414 MILES ON IT AND BY THE TIME I GOT IT HOME (AN HOUR DRIVE AWAY I NOTICED BINDING IN THE FRONT WHEELS WHEN I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY TO ENTER THE ROAD. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (REN KIRBY CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC) BUT THE DRIVE TRAIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY LIMITED 3 MONTH 3,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT THE PLANETARY GEARS IN TRANSFER CASE ARE BINDING IN FRONT WHEEL PORTION OF AWD DRIVE-TRAIN, IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT SERVICE THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND/OR FRONT AXLE SEPARATION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ONE OR BOTH FRONT WHEELS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00 AND THAT IS ONLY IF IT IS JUST THE GEAR ISSUE! THIS ITEM SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP AS I AM FINDING OUT ON SEVERAL VARIOUS AUTO BLOGS THAT THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
