  By briangriffin1 - October 22 - 4:31 pm

  This car is awesome! 12 years old and still going havent seen the check engine light in a year (was on for a oil change overdue). Was in the shop once for a new battery (which was a stock 01). Stock parts excellent acceleration and no road noise 169,598 miles on it. Would buy again and recommend! Nothing but good on this end!

  Will it be a classic? - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By jefe4x4 - August 27 - 6:08 pm

  We bought in 1998 and had problems with the sound system right off. Finally replaced the whole sys. on warranty and worked fine after that. At 140K mi. its as good as ever. Replaced frnt. tie rods @102K the radiator @ 135K mi. I like the car, and I dont like most of the cars Ive owned. It is our summer car now as we live in snow country and with 4" of clearance its not going to push snow like our Jeep, although the limited slip frnt diff works well on snow. Its not worth anything and just keeps going and going so well keep it till it stops moving. We try to keep it up as Im thinking more and more like this will be a Mopar classic. We wont live long enough to know, however.

  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.

  Waiting/hoping to expect something good from America - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By thafemann - March 15 - 8:44 am

  Hello all, I purchased a 1998 Dodge Ram Van, new, and vowed that it would be the last Chrysler product that I would ever own. The Van didnt last 10 years until it was in the junk yard. Recently I purchased a 2001 Chrysler 300M. The car looks really sharp and is fun to drive. I purchased it from a dealer who gave me a great price. I know of the previous single owner and they took great care of the car as all the records show. Second day with the car it began to shake at 50-70 mph. There were LOTS of new parts. Turns out the torque converter and timing belt need replacing. Another $3k. So much for a good deal. I want to buy American...quit making JUNK and I will.

  Love my 300 - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By hollyberry206 - March 14 - 7:30 pm

  I bought my 300 in 2004 with 29K miles. No major problems in 8 years. In 2011, a bad oil change (at a shop) got me a rebuilt engine with 30K fewer miles than the blown one. Car now sits with 124K miles (so 94K on engine) I get an ave of 26 mpg - I Love this car! Driver seat has never heated for me (I didnt think about trying this when buying a 4 year old car in July, lesson learned). I have some rust inside the driver (lower) door and some around the sunroof, but no leaks. My son blew my front speakers a few years ago and Im researching their replacement now. I am planning on keeping this car for a long time yet - NO complaints here.

  BEWARE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!! (but Im going to miss it!) - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By ekasser11 - January 25 - 6:49 pm

  I first bought this car at an auction at 195,000 miles and it was overheating and the lights were not working, cost me about $250 to fix. Later on, it kept randomly shutting down on me and ended up being the fuel sensor which cost me another $230. I got the car all checked out an drove it from Texas to New Hampshire up through Canada with NO PROBLEMS! Then a couple months after I got here, it shut down on me again, not to ever start back up...the guy now says that the problems are so extensive because of the electrical issues that even if I were to get them fixed it would just break down again in the future, BUYERS BEWARE!

  Enjoying since 2007 - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By rish - January 12 - 7:53 pm

  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.

  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
