  • Chrysler 300 Poor Choice - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    Hi - I bought a Chrysler 300 Touring Edition with 63,000 kms on it. I bought the car from a salesman friend and he swore up and down that car never missed a service and was ultra-reliable. I have owned the car for just over two years (now has 109,000 kms) and have done the following since I owned it - replaced two front end ball joint and two front end control arms - replaced alternator - replaced battery - serpentine belt "exploded" had to be towed. The front left wheel bearing had to be replaced. ERG valve replaced.Knuckle joint is gone in the steering column. I cant buy the joint must buy the entire steering column at a cost of over $900.Air conditioning compressor replaced.LEMON LEMON

    This car is just for looks. Even with doing regular maintenenace to preven major problems I still had them. Within 2 years of owning my 300 I have paid $700 to replace a housing unit $600 to replace the water pump $1700 to repair a crack head caused by the car running hot when the water pump went out. And now the car is stuck in park come to find out there are a lot of people having this same problem with Chrysler cars something about the shift box there is some plastic piece that is faulty and Chrysler will not do a recall leaving the customer to have to replace it. Will never ever buy another Chrysler car again. My father told me not to buy Chrysler but I did not listen.

  • An Ominous Voice - 2006 Chrysler 300

    Where do I begin? I bought the car in 2006, and rarely drive it. It has only 8000 miles of driving at this time. The gravel shield has fallen off - protected under the warranty. Now the Front End Bumper has completely fallen off as a result of the low to the ground design, when parking in stalls and approaching the parking stop. I have to pay $2600 to have it fix. I blame myself-for trying to spur the US Economy and not following my orig. feelings of buying a Non US vehicle. I would like to sell it - but have about 6k invested in after market products and services. I like the style of the car and the okay with the interior comfort. I will be getting rid of it this coming year. What a waste?

  • This car is not reliable - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    I thought that I was making a great investment when I purchased my brand new 2006 Chrysler C car. This turned out to be a nightmare. This car has been in the shop numerous times for transmission problems that the dealership cant seem to repair. Dont be deceived by looks. This is the worst car that I have ever purchased. It is not reliable at all and I think that the towing companies know me on a first name basis.

  • 300 warnings - 2006 Chrysler 300
    By -

    The drivers seat is imposssible to configure comfortably for a person of 56". The rear and front windows are very small. In the rear view mirror you can see both the roof of the car and the top of the back seat instead of the road. The car guzzles fuel and hates to accelerate or brake without PLENTY of warning. It plows through snow as long as there is no ice anywhere under or near it. On ice under snow yesterday the dash showed a car with squiggly lines as it steadfastly refused to move until the eleventh steering wheel maneuver in oncoming traffic off a side street. Up until that moment, I could not understand the cars great width, which may be designed to absorb inevitable collisions.

    Since I purchased the vehicle in October 2005, the motor has been worked on twice. As of today the problem still exist. When I am sitting still with the motor running, the car shakes vigorously. I am in the process of letting a third dealership look at it.The brakes move forward when I have my feet on them. I am very dissapointed with this vehicle. I regret I purchased it because it has given me too many problems.
