2006 Chrysler 300 Touring review from North America
"Worst car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine had bent piston @ 20K miles.
Rear windows quit working; dealer ordered window master switch - back ordered 8-9 months. This did not fix the problem. I took it right back to the dealer and was told (while I was waiting for my part) my car went out of warranty and it needed rear window motors replaced at my cost. Contacted Chrysler and was told the same thing.
Goodyear tires were chopped up in 20K miles. I put Michelin on and no problems.
A lot of road noise while driving.
A/C compressor noisy from day one, dealer replaced it and the same noise.
Very uncomfortable ride after driving 1/2 hour or so.
Very poor handling on windy days.
I buy a new car every 2-3 years and this is the worst car I have ever owned. I would never buy another Chrysler product, because the manufacturer does NOT stand behind their product and the customer service is horrible.
General comments?
Do not waste your money on purchasing this car.
