Noises During Shifting Problems of Chrysler 300

1. While driving at normal speeds my car seems to struggle shifting into gear. It also makes clunking sounds going up hill. Today I accelerated to get onto the highway and the vehicle made a loud noise for a few seconds and finally got up to speed. 2. My vehicle also has a factory rust proofing and the quarter panels are showing large spots of rust on the front and rear of the vehicle.

This car is a lemon! I see other people's issues and I cannot believe this car hasn't been totally recalled and overhauled! every month since I got it ( my first used car!). . It was at rental company for 1 1/2 years then I was the sucker that bought it! the tie rods go once a year and mechanics 'all talk who Chrysler made them bad I guess" then the goodyear intregrity's hydroplane. . . . The suspension sounds like beverly hillbillies. . . I was told that the noises I hear are not the shocks I had replaced but are now the actual front arm controls of my car that are rotting away. . . Another thing is the engine "kicks in hard" when going into 2nd shift (automatic). . The horn is hard to press. . The front tires rub, you can hear then when turning even though I am up to date on rotors and pads. . . Let's see what else OH yes just paid $400 because the car started to overheat so when I was there getting that fixed I told them how my car has always had condensation on it in the winter. . I can chisel off the ice particles on the inside! they said I needed a whole new housing of some sorts fixed so they did that. . Hum what else? OH now the engine light is on and the car is chugging and jerking like I'm in a farmer's tractor! it's 10/2013 and I have 2 more years to go to pay. . . I have no more $$$ thanks Chrysler. . God bless America. . . 2 more to pay on this. . I should have stuck with Honda or go Toyota!.
