So, 1st chance to get the car out and have fun since I bought it.
1st thing I noticed, heated seats turning down and off on there own. This didn't happen on my 04 Pacifica, is it supposed to happen on the 300?
Also, the volume just started going up on it's own at one point. The volume bar on the radio (REC) was going up and I wasn't touching anything. I had to press the down volume button the steering wheel to get it to stop.
I also thought I do a few 0-60 times. 1st one went great (5.82).. had a little wheelspin on launch so I thought I would use a little break and hold on the 2nd launch. ESP was on, I got a little wheel chirp and then the thing just fell flat on it's face. Motor RPM went to idle then it finally caught and revved up. It was only a split second but it acted like the old carberator engines when the accelerator pump goes out. The next and last time I did a 0-60, I shut the ESP off and didn't have a problem, other than the car went pretty much sideways and cooked the tires all the way through the intersection. The time sucked, but man the launch was cool. Had to listen to the wife complain about wearing out the tires though.. I also noticed that each time I did a 0-60, the cruise control shut off. I had the cruise on because we were on a short trip and I was on a state hiway. I used the cross roads every 5 miles or so for the 0-60 tests.
Anyone have any comments on these issues or has anyone had the same probelms? If so, have you had them fixed or did they go away on there own or are you just living with them?
thanks
