2005 CHRYSLER 300 Tires Problems

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER 300 IN 2012. THE CAR CAME WITH 4 COOPER TIRES, CS4-265R17. IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 I NOTICED A WOBBLE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO BE SERVICED (BALANCE/ROTATION/ALIGNMENT). AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR STILL WOBBLED. SO MECHANIC TOOK OFF EACH TIRE TO INVESTIGATE. WHICH HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BANDS IN THE TIRE HAVE SEPARATED. I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD. *TR

I LEASED A 2005 300 C IN DECEMBER 2005. CURRENTLY, AS OF JANUARY 2007, I HAVE 14000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT IS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND IT SHAKES AT 65 MPH. THEY SAY I NEED FOUR NEW TIRES AND THE TIRES ARE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY. THESE ARE CONTINENTAL SELF SEALING TIRES. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER IS NO LONGER PUTTING THESE "CRAPPY" TIRES ON THEIR CARS. I AM FURIOUS ABOUT REPLACING TIRES ON A LEASE CAR THAT ONLY HAS 14,000 MILES ON IT!!!!! CHRYLSER CAN KEEP THEIR CARS! *JB

MY 2005 CHRYSLER 300 LIMITED WITH 41,000 MILES HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE LATEST PROBLEM IS WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY KEYFOBS. BOTH FOBS NOW DO NOT WORK. THE CONTROL PANEL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE PANEL STILL INDICATED THE BATTERY WAS LOW. AFTER OPENING THE SPARE FOB TO REPLACE ITS BATTERY, FOUND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE CIRCUIT BOARD. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SINCE MY CAR WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY (THE CAR IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS OLD), I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $311 FOR TWO NEW KEY FOBS AND PROGRAMMING. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DEALING WITH LOCKING THE CAR, AND THEN UNLOCKING IT THROUGH THE DOOR, LETTING THE HORN SOUND AND THE LIGHTS FLASH, LOOKING AS...

PURCHASED A 05, 300 TOURING, SIGNATURE SERIES, OCT 04. NOTICED AFTER DRIVING CAR HOME (100 MILES) CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT EVERY REQUIRED MILEAGE LIMITS.

DEALER STATED NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT TIRES SHOWED IMPROPER WEAR THROUGHOUT THE SERVICING PERIODS. I HAD TO PURCHASE 4 NEW TIRES. THE CAR STILL PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN SOME STORY THAT IT WILL PREVENT ME FROM GOING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC IF I PASS OUT AT THE WHEEL.

I BOUGHT A NEW CHRYSLER 300C IN THE SPRING OF 2005. AFTER 13,000 MILES, I AM TOLD THE TIRES ARE BAD AND I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO BUY FOUR MORE TIRES. I AM NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES AND AM BEING TOLD THAT CONTINENTAL WILL NOT COVER THE NEW TIRES. *JB

GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES ON NEW CAR WORN TO BELT AT 19,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 2 SEPARATE INCIDENTS WHERE MY CAR SPUN IN A CIRCLE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION AT 10 MILES AN HOUR. *NM

TIRES ON CHRYSLER 300C NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 15,000 MILES. TIRE IS CONTINENTAL CONTITOURING CONTACT CH95. MAY BE SAFETY ISSUE AS CONSUMERS ARE NOT EXPECTING TO REPLACE TIRES SO EARLY. CONTINENTAL SAYS TIRES NOT COVERED UNTIL CONSUMER REPLACES THEM, AND CHRYSLER DID NOT DISCLOSE THESE ARE VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRES AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 15,000-20,000 AND SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING EITHER. THIS MAY ALSO BE A PROBLEM ON THE DODGE CHARGER AND MAGNUM ALSO. VERY PLEASED WITH THE CAR, BUT NOT WITH TIRE WEAR AND POSSIBILITY OF ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT END SHOOK, MADE NOISE, AND PULLING TO THE LEFT. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE SHOOK FOR THE FIRST MILE AND A HALF. THE CONTACT STATED BECAUSE THEY WERE SELF SEALING TIRES THE MATERIAL INSIDE CLUMPED UP BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER TOLD HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. AS A RESULT, THE PRESSURE FROM BEING STRAPPED DOWN DURING TOWING CAUSED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHING TO POP OUT. ALSO, THE TIE ROD END ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONTACT TO GET THOSE REPAIRED BEFORE THEY COULD ADDRESS THE TIRE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE BUSHING BACK IN, BUT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. *AK THE CONSUMER HAD A TRANSMISSION LEAK....

IF ANYTHING BECOMES OF THIS LETTER I WOULD LIKE THE CONTINENTAL TIRES THAT ARE PUT ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES LOOKED INTO,THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY PROBLEM, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE TIRE SIZE I MENTION WAS NOT LISTED ON YOUR FORM SO I JUST CLICKED WHAT YOU HAD. *NM

FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CAR WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASING IT. THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED, AS WELL AS 2 OR 3 OTHER CARS WERE DAMAGED. HE CONTACTED DAIMLER/CHRYSLER, AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THE DEALER AGREED TO GIVE CONTACT A LOANER VEHICLE. CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DEFECT WITHIN THE CAR PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT. CONTACT HAD PICTURES OF THE CAR. HE SAID THAT DEALER...

DT: CONTACT WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE INSPECTION DONE AND THE CAR. HOWEVER,IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE TIRES WERE UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THEIR CONDITION. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OWNER'S MANUAL ADVISED THE ROTATION TIRES EVERY 3,000 MILES UP TO 72 MONTHS. SHE HAS DONE THAT, BUT THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT. SHE CALLED CONTINENTAL TO GET THE TIRES FROM THE WAREHOUSE. THE WARE HOUSE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE CONTINENTAL, CONTOURS PLUS TIRES. SHE PLACED AN ORDER FOR NEW TIRES, BUT IT WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WILL BE IN. SHE TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT CONTINENTAL, AND HE TOLD HER THE TIRES WERE GOOD UNTIL 60,000 MILES. HER CAR HAD 20,000 MILES. SHE FELT THAT PEOPLE WERE BEING MISLEAD BY OWNER'S MANUAL AS TO HOW LONG TIRES WILL LAST.*AK
