Problem Reports

 Rookie

At about 20,000 miles my Chrysler 300 Ltd. 3.5 L trans. started leaking. When I Googgled this problem I discovered it is a common problem where an electrical pressure switch is connected to the trans. I called the dealer to find out if Chrysler would repair this under warranty they said the warranty time period was just expired and that it was an easy fix at a cost of $260.00. I figured that this was a manufacture defect and that sooner or later they would recall and fix their blunder. A year later and no recall. Since then the leak has stopped on it's own, until just last week where I again noticed a small puddle in the garage. Now I will have it repaired but I find it hard to pay $260.00 for an $8.00 switch that takes only minutes to change as one web site described. Does anyone know what it really costs? In ref to other problems. I have not had them. The car is running very well, and sincerely hope that I will not fall into them. I have noticed that the steering is more sensitive than most vehicles. A slight turn of the steering wheel can put you in another lane quickly. So it has kept me more attentive as to my driving style. That is a good thing. I believe rack and pinion steering is similar. As of this moment I would recommend this vehicle, and even more so if Chrysler would face their responsibilities if they wish to stay in business with the every day world competition. They need to bring out an all electric vehicle for daily use. Such as the Leaf.

Has not been fix as of yet
