  • Enjoying since 2007 - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    When I was looking for a car in 2007, a chrysler 300M was not even on my shopping list. I was looking at a couple of Pontiac Grand Prixs when my eyes caught this beauty. This car stood out in a room filled with more than 50 cars at a local dealer in Toronto. After road testing it with a couple of friends in the back seat, who by the way found the back seat to be ultra comfortable with support for the back of your knee, I instantly fell in love with this car. The performance from the engine was surprising awesome for a 3.5 lt V6 in a full sized sedan and so was the handling. Every time I take this thing out for a spin, I am very confident while taking turns that it wont under or oversteer.

  • Not too shabby - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    I purchased this car used with high miles so my expectations werent the greatest. The first few problems i ran into would have been minor had I owned any other domestic car. I dont understand why parts are so much and mechanics cringed at the thought of working on it. The tranny went out and drained my bank account but I have the previous owner to thank for that. I seem to continue to have issues with the power mirrors going haywire but otherwise no electrical problems. All told, I like the looks and feel of the car and if the new tranny takes it over 200,000 miles Ill be satisfied with my investment. Provided nothing else major goes wrong.

  • When it starts to break run away! - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    I got the car with 45,000 km paid probably more than it should have, I traded my sebring for the 300M. First year no major problems, than it started. The front suspension started braking. I had to replace many times over the front end such as: Stabilizer bars, link-bars (upper-lower) bars, brakes etc. Parts were expensive like Mercedes or some foreign car (no wonder they are going-under). Too many electrical issues lights flashing, engine light. The sad part is, I actually liked the car and did regular maintenance. Stay away when it starts showing problems Sell fast! I had too many problems (spent over $10000.00 in repairs since 2005).

  • 300M Trade In Review - 2002 Chrysler 300M

    This car has been driven to and from work (1 mile), up to other offices within New Jersey and to the New Jersey shore. Regular servicing by a local repair shop. No major problems. No accidents. Some blind spot in the back from a wide connection between back seat window and rear window. Other than that it has been a good car.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • **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.

  • nice car for the money - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    I got it 1 year ago. First of all, when I hear about road noise I will say check you tires, I got new set form tire rack, avon tires, those are grat both in noise, handling and price, half of what you have to pay for Michelins. Overall I will say that the car is fun to drive, I like it. Exchanging brake pads from standard metal to ceramic (cost the same) would get rid off the brake dust, great.

  • Would do it different if I could - 2002 Chrysler 300M
    By -

    Great looking car both inside and out, nice dash and I liked the style it has. That is where is all stops, I road noise is like driving a pick up truck, you feel every bump and crack in the road, very disappointing in these area. Fuel ecomomy has run 20 combine highway and city, I thought that would be better for a V6, inside is comfortable, the AC is bad also, but everything is black inside, another mistake, rotors are always rusting and making a mess on the garage floor. In short I can not wait until I get back to a Lincoln, have not had a Chrsyler for 32 years and hope never to have another
