  • Still Simply Amazing - 2011 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Its now been 3 years since we purchased our Chrysler 300C sedan and with over 27K miles this car is still simply amazing! Power, comfort and quiet are the hallmark of this beautiful 4-door E class sedan. Its built on a Mercedes E-class platform and delivers every bit of the E-class quality one would expect. Its packed with every imaginable option and drives like a dream. We still love our Chrysler 300C and can highly recommend it to anyone shopping for a large, quality 4-door sedan. Still enjoying this beautiful 300C after 3 years without any significant service issues what-so-ever!

    I purchased my Chrysler at the end of 2011 brand new. One year in at 40k miles (I drive for a living its my work car) I had a check engine light come on. Brought it into the dealer and found out there was damage to a valve. They refused to cover the repair even though it was nothing I had or could have done to cause this. This car was in for every oil change and service mind you.Now here I June 2014 I was on the highway at 65MPH when my car suddenly made a loud pop and locked up.I had it towed two hours back to my dealer to find out the engine had a recall on the timing chain and it had broken and blown the motor. There are no motors and they want to rebuild it after 70% catastrophic damage

  • Still Simply Amazing! - 2011 Chrysler 300

    Its now been two years since we purchased our 2011 Chrysler 300C and it is still simply amazing. With a little over 21,700 miles on the odometer, we are still very happy with our 300C. This car continues to ride smooth and quite and has power to spare. We also continue to receive compliments on the look of this beautiful car. One could easily spend $30K more for one of the so-called higher class vehicles, but we really do not see the benefit. If you are looking for a full size, 4-door sedan, we highly recommend the Chrysler 300C.

  • Balky Transmission - 2011 Chrysler 300
    By -

    First of all, I love this car.. its so much fun to drive and folks love to talk to me about its looks... The one problem is the transmission. It bumps occasionally and three times it has seemed to go into neutral while pulling out to pass on the highway.. all three times it seems as though the engine has stall but that cant be the case since the power steering still works.. Its the transmission.. As a retired professional drive, I am able to keep calm when this occurs but my wife would be lost and may have a serious wreck had it happened to her.. The first time the dealer said it was a software glitch and needed updating.. the two time sinve, they say they cant find anything.

  • Disappointment - 2011 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Ill start by saying, I love this car! We purchased it new in November 2011. But, I have no confidence in the car. On the first day that we owned it, the trunk opened up while driving. We chalked it up to our inexperience with keyless system. Within the next few weeks, the car would not start, flashing all types of messages. A tow truck brought it to our local dealer. I am not automotive, but it was something with the wiring. Squirrels were blamed (yes, squirrels). Fixed it. A week later - no start, tow to dealer. This time the entire wiring harness needed to be replaced. Had to wait for parts. Now, it is in the shop with a transmission problem, jumps putting in gear, messages. To be cont..

    It has been nearly 1 year since our first review. Our Chrysler 300C is still simply amazing. Routine service is very reasonable and no major repairs. This car still runs like it just left the showroom. The cabin is extremely quiet and the Hemi V8 engine provides power to spare. The ride is very comfortable and the AWD option provides confidence when driving in rain or snow. Love the Alpine sound system and the Garmin Nav system is awesome. We have never really been fans of Chrysler in the past, but cannot say enough good things about the quality and comfort of our 2011 Chrysler 300C.

    Purchased a 2011 Chrysler 300C in January and have been driving it for about 4 weeks now. Was never really a Chrysler fan in the past. However, after test driving the new 300C, it was hard to deny the great improvement in quality, fit and finish. The 300C is equipped with every possible option including the 363HP Hemi V8, all-wheel drive, adaptive cruise control, lane change warning, park assist, back-up camera, Garmin nav system, bluetooth and ipod adapter, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, napa leather seats, real wood trim, panoramic moon roof, and more. The ride is very stable and the cabin is extremely quiet. If you are looking for a full size luxury car, look no further!

  • Terrible Overall Quality - 2011 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Concur with the other review. Handsome vehicle, but loaded with quality and electronic problems. 1) Paint chipping on many areas 2) Remote key-less system failed and car would not start 3) Numerous rattles 4) Safety concerns with the blind spot & rain-sensing wipers: do not properly work and thus cause dangerous conditions 5) Severe engine shudder Leased in Sept 2011 and have regretted it since then. Dealership has been pretty solid, but Chrysler is a mess.

  • Beautiful+Fast -- Buggy+Unreliable - 2011 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Beautiful american sedan with style, design, and power to draw attention! Bad paint quality (look-up paint chipping off of hood and body panels) Electronic Quirks (look-up problems with stereo, and blind spot system) Reliability Issues (see popular quality awards) Poor Build Quality (look-up issues with front lights pooling water, and problems with powertrain) The negative problems and Chryslers continued lack of attention to quality and consumer preference unfortunately far outweigh the beauty and power.

    I bought my 2011 300 Limited in August, 2011, and so far I love the car. I have the Tungsten grey with panaramic roof, 20" upgraded wheels, and its a head turner. I have just over 3k miles on it so far and have been averaging around 20 to 21 in mostly city driving. I drove Honda/Acuras for 20+ years and I think the options on this car for the price couldnt be beat. I recently rented a Cadillac DTS while on vacation and think my 300s ride is much better than the Caddy and the 300s interior has better quality interior materials. Overall, the 300 feels richer than the Cadillac (IMO). I love my 300 and am looking forward to my first road trip in it this Christmas.
