  • tranny went out - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    bought the car used two months ago, previous owner took good care of it, ran and purred smoothly for two months. went to post office, got back in car, heard a squealing noise and lost the umph to go - found out tranny went out all of a sudden, now will have to pay 2200 to fix it, but feel that this beautiful car is worth the money to put into it - going on 180000 miles and sstill looks/drives good except i have to replace tranny

    This car is the best Ive bought. Not a lick of trouble in the 9 years Ive owned it. Would definitely buy again.

  • Reliable and fun - 2002 Chrysler 300M

    I bought the car new and have driven it 80k miles. Replaced an O2 sensor,a set of brakes at 70k and tires at 55k, went with Michelin Hydro Edge hoping to reduce tire noise, but still too loud on some concrete. Its great to drive on the road, handles like a sport car. Too bad the computer shuts you down at 107, as the engine is still only at 3800 rpms.The Auto Stick is fun. Put the pedal to the metal and the tach goes right up to 6400 for the next shift. The body styling was ahead of its time, as many of the new cars have nearly the same roof lines. Last weekend took a trip of 700 miles, averaged 28.2 one way and 28.8 coming home, couldnt believe it. Its the best car I have ever owned.

  • My 300MS - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    Purchased the car used,w/57000 miles on the clock. Why did they stop making this model. Its a great road car. Hard to keep the speed down. Handles great on curves and runs like a race car. Love the dashboard display. The tach is a welcome site. Never had the rpms over 3000. Covers a lot of ground with comfort. Only car I have ever owned that is still fun to drive after 2yrs. If you havent tried Continental tires,they are silent. Chrysler did a good job with this vehicle. Its a shame they stopped production. Would like to see a 5spd manual transmission. Check engine light came on and shop replaced a oxygen sensor. It still comes on, but goes off after a day or so. No major problems as yet.

  • My 02 300M Special - 2002 Chrysler 300M

    This is the best Chrysler that I have owned. The car is solid and feels great at high speeds. Fuel consumption is very good for a car of its size. As a live an learn lesson, the newest Chrysler Corporation may want to look back at its front wheel drive platforms and manufacture cars that are both fun to drive and easier on gas.

  • One of the best - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    This has been a reliable car. We bought it with 59.000 mi and it now has 101,000. My husband loves to drive it, he says it has get up and go. The check engine light came on a few days after we bought it, so it went to the shop a few times and although the light would be off when we picked it up, it would always come back on- And remains on to this day. Tires need to be replaced soon, those will cost nearly $500. My husband says were switching from Michelin to Yokohama. Love the moonroof! Timing belt and brakes need to be replaced soon, but other than that, have replaced nothing major. The long front end makes it hard to tell how close you are to anything. Good solid car. Safe for families.

  • 300 M a reliable car - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    I have now had my 300M for 110,000 miles and average 23.2 miles per gallon in Connecticut winter driving. 24.4 miles during the summer. The car has been solid. I first changed the front brakes at 87,000 miles and just did the rear at 107,000. I am still waiting to do a tuneup and change the original battery. More of the belts and hoses along with a radiator were redone at 63,000 miles when I hit a deer on the highway. The car has always had a fade to the left driving on the highway and the check engine light has been on since 24,000 miles(no one can seem to fix that), but I certainly a pleased with the car. There have been no major problems with the car and it has been reliable. A good car.

  • Love It! - 2002 Chrysler 300M

    I bought it new and still have it. I have never kept a car this long, but cant find one I like better. Very comfortable, loaded with luxury features. Aside from standard maintenance and new tires, the only repair was to replace a tire pressure sensor. I wish the 300C didnt look so much like a gangster car. I would have traded for another 300 several years ago.

  • **BUMP** goes the OBD - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    I just purchased this car and took it out on a rather bumpy road. Hit a bump and the orangy OBD (On Board Diagnostics) light came on [not to be confused with check engine] Thankfully it was just a sensor, and it was reset, but the car is built like an airplane, with a zillion sensors that monitor everything except what you are listening to. It adjusts temperature and seats, and this and that and wow is all I can say.

  • Good Used Car - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    Funny that I just replaced the Michelins on mine with Avons too and it made a huge difference in road noise. Overall a beautiful car design that is aging well. I looked and looked and finally decided on this for my $10k used car purchase. I dont think you will find another car out there in the price range with all of the equipment. Car handles well and has decent power. Interior design and fit definitely lags behind imports. Gas mileage is poor too. Overall nice size and plenty of room.
