THE WEATHER STRIPPING ON THREE OF FOUR DOORS ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER 300M (43,300 MILES) HAS SHRUNK AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED SEVERAL CONSUMER WEBSITES AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OR CAN BE INVESTIGATED.

I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER 300M, PURCHASED SEPTEMBER 2000. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ALLOWS BOTH AN AUTOMATIC OR A MANUAL SHIFT (I'VE NEVER USED THE MANUAL SHIFT). ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, AND THE GEAR SHIFT SHEARED OFF IN MY HAND. WHEREAS NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, I DO BELIEVE THAT HAD THE CAR BEEN IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ONE DOES NOT EXPECT IN A 2-1/2 YEAR OLD CAR FOR THE GEAR SHIFT TO COME OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TS

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
