2006 Chrysler 300C LEMON
I just bought the 06 300C for a price of 44K...It had 38 miles on it and is
now in the dealers repair facility.There is an apparent transmission problem with this vehicle which thier diagnostics can't seem to locate. They have a manfacturer representative coming to make a determination as to what they are going to do.Meantime,I'm driving a dealer supplied Chevy neon from Enterprise that doesn't even have power steering!! This is a New Jersey dealer who should have at least supplied me with a comparable vehicle that I just spent thousands on.I have already started proceedings and am keeping all records up to date,because this looks like its going to be a legal matter concerning the New Jersey Lemon Law. Will keep you posted.. -- A. D. |

If they think it is the driveshaft, they can send it out to get balanced on a machine. Sarge |

It's a lemon because of the one problem you posted? what are you a @%$^% moron! They are probably having a problem diagnosing it because it has not happened before. So if you are the first customer with this problem, what is the dealership to do? Wave there magic wand and diagnose it? since the tranny and driveshaft are a mercedes item, they are peobably dealing with mercedes for technical support. Therefore it probably takes time to figure out. Obviously YOU know the problem, So here is an idea. You get your car, and you fix it, and then send the bill the DC. They will re-imburse you. |

That particular transmission, while based on a Mercedes design, is different and is built in Kokomo, Indiana- a long-time Chrysler transmission factory. But I agree- this is probably the first time they've seen this complaint and are wanting to get factory involvement to figure it out (if its not just a troll as I still suspect somewhat... ;-) It bothers me a little bit when consumers have a problem, immediately call the product a "LEMON," and then insist that getting a replacement is somehow better than getting the original fixed. Fixed is fixed- its a machine, not a living organism. The fact that its been repaired doesn't make it somehow inferior to a brand new vehicle that didn't happen to have the problem from the factory. |
