NHTSA Complaint #711843 — 1999 CHRYSLER 300M

MY VEHICLE HAS A SEVERE SHIMMY/VIBRATION BETWEEN 55 AND 65MPH WHICH IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. THE DEALER HAS PUT ON THREE SETS OF TIRES AND WHEELS AND HAS DONE MUTIPLE WHEEL BALANCING. THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND THE CHRYSLER FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE HAS ADMITTED THE DIAMLER/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEIR ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE ITO THE THE DEALER 14 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEIR FINAL ANSWER LAST WEEK WAS THAT NEITHER THE DEALER OR DIAMLER/CHRYSLER WILL ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AND THAT I SHOULD FILE UNDER THE GEORGIA LEMON LAW FOR COMPENSATION. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES SO CONSEQUENTLY THE MULTI-CHOICE COMPONENT LIST. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS WHEEL OR TIRE RELATED AFTER ALL OF THE CHANGES BUT CHRYSLER DOES BLAME THE GOODYEAR TIRES, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NEVER SWAPPED THEM FOR ANY OTHER BRAND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN SHARED WITH OTHER 300M OWNERS ON THE WEB. IT IS PARTICULARLY SEVERE IN HOT WEATHER AND IN RAINY CONDITIONS. IF THE MANUFACTURER ADMITS TO A DEFECT, THEN I BELIEVE IT IS REQUIRED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.
