2000 Chrysler 300M Suspension Problems

“Since I got my 2000 Chrysler 300M, everytime I go over speed bumps it shakes and pops. I also noticed everytime I make a turn it gives a loud popping noise. Everytime im going 25-35 MPH it feels like my front tires are loose and shaky. Seems like its only getting worse.”

“While turning a corner my steering wheel turned one direction while my tires stayed straight. Also while driving down the highway at 45 miles an hour. My car went into the opposite lane almost head on into another vehicle when my wheels decided to turn back when I turned the steering wheel almost to the end of steering ratio. This car is going to end up killing someone. Then there will be a major law suit. I replaced the rack & pinion. Worked for about a month and now it is starting to do it again. Also replaced the tie rod ends. The bolts back out or become loose on the rack & pinion. …”

“My steering has a life of its own. Steering pulls hard to the right, almost hit a public bus. I've had 2 alignments and brand new tires, the problem still exist. The front end make a clunking noise and vibrates really badly. I've taken it to a Chrysler dealership and got the same response as other have with the same problem unable to duplicate the problem. I told them there is a problem. Im afraid of losing my life an risking others on the streets and highway because of this serious issue the no one wants to fix.”

“I have a 2000 Chrysler 300M and I have replaced the two front struts of the car about a dozen times and I have only owned the car for two years. I have seen my mechanic fix the problem each time and it is due to the poor quality of Chrysler car parts. My front wheel has become disaligned 3 times to the point that the car was undriveable and had to get towed. My mechanic says each time I bring it in im lucky that the wheel didn't come off. I am afraid that the tire will eventually come off and that it is a severe safety issue and that Chrysler should recall the part.”

“1) car made loud clunking noise when going over bumps and traveling at slower speeds. Had car looked at by 2 different mechanic shops and they couldn't figure out the problem. 2) finally took car in for a 3rd time and mechanic found the problem. 3)car needed new tie rods, sway bars, etc. For steering/suspension problems. Car only had about 50,000 miles on it. Repairs cost over $1000.”
