  Great performance, mediocre reliability. - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By donald9251 - March 23 - 1:43 am

  I have had the car for 4 years so far. Bought it in 2008 with 77K miles on it. Since then Ive had to replace the power door lock on the drivers side, the front suspension control arms, turn signal flasher and the oil pressure switch. The a/c also doesnt blow cold because theres a leak in the a/c system (the condenser, compressor, or evaporator). Not sure if I want to spend the money to fix the a/c. Also the interior instrument panel lights were flashing, so I replaced the headlight/dimmer switch assembly with a used on purchased from eBay (that fixed the problem). However the car has strong acceleration and smooth engine performance, but Chrysler needs to focus on reliability.

  First family car - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By EZG0_N - February 5 - 5:39 pm

  I bought the car new in 2000 and have loved driving it! It now has 143K miles on it. Love the styling, performance and ride. I can get 3 car seats in back with enough (carefully packed) in the trunk for a short weekend trip. The HVAC has never works properly. There have been some problems with the dashboard blinking, radiator, driver’s window, headlamps foggy, dashboard cracked, rims leak – badly - and now some minor electrical and transmission problems. Otherwise the car is still sound, very minor rust on the door bottoms and acid rain spots. It’s going to be sad to trade it in once the 4th child arrives.

  My 300M - 248,849 miles same eng and trns. - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Ray K - July 31 - 10:20 am

  I have put 248,849 miles on my 300M, still has the original engine and transmission. I have to say I did keep up with the oil changes, most of my driving was highway driving for about 100 per day. The 300M has served me well. The problems I have had with the car was that all 4 of the automatic door locks needed to be replaced, warranty handled the cost of 2 and I footed the cost for the other 2. I even tried to get them to replace the last 2 before the door locks failed and the warranty ran out but no luck. Also the air-conditioner required about 1,000 dollars of work to get fix after 7 years. If those items didnt go wrong I may have gotten another. Surprise, but Im driving a Prius now.

  hey - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By derek - May 26 - 6:21 pm

  I bought my 300m with 44,000 miles on it. It now has 126,000. Its been alright but this past year stupid things have been happening. I had to replace my tie rods twice in 4 years. My rear doors locks are screwed up. My struts in the front end are bad. I think my muffler is ripped. Its all wear and tear stuff. Nothing Major. I have maintained it very well. Tune ups oil changes brakes. Its never left me stranded on the side of the road. Overall its an ok car. Not great but I hope it last another 3 4 years.

  Too many problems. - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By rifat - November 9 - 5:28 am

  If only it had a better looking front and was more reliabile, this car could have joined the classic cars. What I dont understand is why Chrysler seem to be careless to the same problems that keep on coming year after year without taking care of them.

  Nice car - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Ken - October 2 - 2:06 pm

  I have owned this car about a year. It is comfortable, sporty and fun to drive. I like the auto-stick. However, some flaws are present. I had to replace the evaporator($700+) and there is a clunk in the front end that no one seems to be able to identify and fix.

  Chrysler 300M - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By John - July 26 - 4:58 am

  Bought a loaded, but used, 300M with 173,000 miles for wife at auction. Initially was leery about car, given Chryslers reputation for poor product quality, but so far have been pleasantly pleased. Highway acceleration is good. Sound system is nice, except two speakers are blown, and I cant stand the idea of paying for something that my 10-year-old son calls "cosmetic." Only major mechanical problem has been a transmission sensor that put car into "limp in" mode. Once diagnostic code was cleared, car ran fine. I think my 300M must have been lovingly maintained by a doctor or something, because its been--knock on wood-- relatively problem-free. Insurance costing more than maintenance.

  By Alan - April 27 - 6:28 pm

  I bought this car used almost 3 years ago and have only had to replace the spark plugs and front brake pads. The car is very reliable. I recently got 32MPG on a trip. I love the cars styling and comfort and plenty of power when you need it.
