1999 300M gear shift recall

Chances are good that you could find a particular LH-car-related TSB
discussed and at least partially copied into a thread on the 300M Club
or the Dodge Intrepid forums - they both have good search functions.

Only if the car is still under warranty. If not under warranty, you pay
anywhere from $50 to $120 depending on dealer greed level.

Oops - I was thinking in terms of TSB's - since it is a recall, you are
correct.

Just because you see a TSB does not mean it pertains to your vehicle...What
engine do you have?

Its not a recall and if it is outside the 3/36 or the vehicle does not have
a service contract it may not be covered if it oertains to his vehicle

 

Oppps strike that, it is a recall...it was a TSB 08-31-99
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on about 17,300 of the above vehicles
may intermittently cause one or all of the following conditions:

a.. The Vehicle Theft Alarm (VTA) may not function after the vehicle has
been turned off and the doors are locked;
b.. The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system may exhibit poor A/C
performance; or
c.. The temperature display on the Overhead Travel Information System
(OTIS) may be slow to update after the vehicle has been started

 

Heh heh! You and I made the same "oops" (well, yours was an "oppps",
mine was an "oops"). 8^)

To paraphrase a no-longer-so-famous American politician, "I know '66
Furies. I like '66 Furies. But a 300M is NO '66 Fury."



That said, a 300M is a very nice car for a modern car. Enjoy it!

 

pay me hehehe

 

I work in the assembly for that engine. Still have my old trusty 3.9 from
Mound Road Engine Plant. Going to get a new Dakota. Hows the gas mileage on
our 3.7 engine from new Mack II Plant.
