2005 Chrysler 300 with ignition problem. Consumer states that after the installation of the ignition switch was completed. She continued to have the exact same problem as before with the eas light indicator. The consumer was told there was an open circuit in the ignition switch. The consumer stated the problem became more serious which caused the steering wheel to violently vibrate in excess of 60 mph. Another service provider informed the consumer the tie rod end was broken and the struts needed to be replaced.

The contact stated the front end shook, made noise, and pulling to the left. She took the vehicle to the dealership, and they replaced the tires. The vehicle shook for the first mile and a half. The contact stated because they were self sealing tires the material inside clumped up because of the cold weather. The tire manufacturer told her to take the vehicle to a tire dealership. The vehicle was towed. As a result, the pressure from being strapped down during towing caused the upper control arm bushing to pop out. Also, the tie rod end on the passenger's side needed to be replaced. The tire dealership told the contact to get those repaired before they could address the tire problem. The contact's husband was able to put the bushing back in, but no repairs have been made to the vehicle. The consumer had a transmission leak. Updated 01/11/06.
