  My Wonderful Chrysler - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By bobekah - January 6 - 7:04 pm

  I got this car 2 years ago, It must have been when the car was completely falling apart but still looked good out side (thats what got me). I love my car but in the first year I put over 4000 into repair from Front end popping (which came back after replacing knuckles) constant creaking sound in my trunk area. Speakers blew a month after having the thing. Constant electrical problems. My dash flickers and my heated seats dont work. Ive gotten all new tires and they still leak! NEW rims and they still leak! This is my baby I spend alot of money but its a rip off for sure! The things only got 123,000 miles on it and the engine praformace is great

  Huge Mistake Buying Chrysler 300M!!!! - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By ChryslerJunk - September 28 - 11:44 pm

  I was stupid enough to go from owning a reliable, quality built Honda Accord to purchasing a Chrysler 300M in late 1999. Big mistake. I was suckered into believing in American made and falling for the cool exterior design...what was underneath was pure junk. I cant tell you the amount of money, worry, disappointment, and absolute frustration this vehicle has brought me. I remember bringing it home thinking I would baby it and have it for years...imagining it could be considered a classic some day...what a naive notion that was. Its a Chrysler stupid!!!! USA Auto Execs dismissed Dr. Deming who wanted to teach them about Total Quality Systems. So he went to Japan where they listened.

  Major Lemon - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By antho59263 - December 9 - 7:39 pm

  This car is a maintenance headache. Had to replace all four power door lock motors ($150 ea.) Had to get the transmission fixed every three months within the last year. (over $1500) First a transmission computer chip had to be replaced. Then transmission hoses were leaking and needed to be replaced, etc. Right front speaker needed to be replaced ($75).

  ok but needs work - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By tramainersr - July 27 - 2:00 am

  This was the perfect veh when I first purchased the veh but after I drove it 10,000 miles and had to purchase a sensor in my transmission. Then at 75000 miles I noticed slow cranking and will have to purchase and evaporator for my ac. I later found out this is common but I wish I would have known when I purchase the veh.

  Shoulda got the LS - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By wysure - November 9 - 2:00 am

  I chose this car over the Lincoln LS. I like the looks better and it had more power, BUT the quality is poor at best. The chrome coating is coming off all of the lettering on the sides, the finish is so soft, it scratched just by looking at it, the wind and tire noise is unacceptable in a $30,000+ car. More? The window creaks and is going to give at any moment, the steering wheel is deteriorating right in my hands and cant be cleaned. Still more? The strip of weatherproofing around the driver door came off (speaking of wind noise...). I could go on...but you get the idea. And just look at that 300C coming down the pike!!! UGH!!!

  Last one for me!!!!!! - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Dan-n-Angie - August 13 - 2:00 am

  Thank goodness for the extended warranty. The great options can only make-up for so much. In 60,000 miles we had to get the power window motor replaced, electronic transmission sensor replaced, electric seat motor replaced and now the front brake rotors (how do they hot enough to warp with our damaging the pads?) Continually have problem with shaking once tires get 20,000 miles. This is the first and last Chrysler for me and theyve probably ruined any chances for their fellow American manufactures.

  Good price, sacrifice quality - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By ScottVT - January 20 - 2:00 am

  2nd chrysler product Ive bought, will be my last. The power- everything options is where the quality shows through. For the first 2 1/2 years I had no major problems. Since then, my engine cut out on me while on an off ramp, almost causing an accident. Carbon buildup in the throttle bore (29k miles). Power window went bad. Power seat shifted around as i drove (dealer considered "normal"). You get what you pay for. Car is nice to look at and comfortable to drive, but still k- car quality. They consistantly rank at the low end of reliability for a reason.

  Unhappy - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Bezant - October 26 - 2:00 am

  Transmission seals replaced twice and transmission still clunks when shifting. Power windows quit twice. Blower motor quit in middle of winter. Plastic cap fell off wheel due to rust. Vinyl trim around inside of door openings shrank and was replaced. If you please, I was told by a dealer employee that it was because I failed to leave the windows down a bit on hot weather. Hogwash!!!

  Glad its a lease - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By KennyO - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I picked this up 4/00. The finish shot. The dealer was unable to fix. I had to buff it myself. Day one, the tail lights didnt work. Found that out at 1 AM. just swell. Other problems: an auto lamp that goes nuts in bright sunlight, a crunching noise in the front end but the mechanics cant find it. The car was delivered W/O an air filter, go figure. Three years the State of Florida has mailed the re-regist. paper to Chrysler Leasing and they have THROWN THEM AWAY. This has earned me a nice $ 85 fine while parked at Miami Airport. Complain to Chrysler? They simply suck and are incapable of changing. Why is this car is rated highly?
