  Hard to say - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By nickk - July 21 - 8:13 pm

  Bought this car used and within the first couple of months I had to be towed twice and then a third time a few months later. Went through 3 transmissions! Power steering pump seized, had to replace rack and pinion, front axle, numerous evap stuff. But I still like it. When it works. Looks great even 7 years later people think its new. Interior is nice, but my tint keeps peeling and bubbling, climate display in blank so I cant tell whats on or off. Great gas millage for how big it is. Good handling as well. Its really hard to say if this car is worth it or not, Im really frustrated with it but Im also having a hard time getting ride of it and finding something similar that I want

  When it starts to break run away! - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By Zengo - June 21 - 8:56 am

  I got the car with 45,000 km paid probably more than it should have, I traded my sebring for the 300M. First year no major problems, than it started. The front suspension started braking. I had to replace many times over the front end such as: Stabilizer bars, link-bars (upper-lower) bars, brakes etc. Parts were expensive like Mercedes or some foreign car (no wonder they are going-under). Too many electrical issues lights flashing, engine light. The sad part is, I actually liked the car and did regular maintenance. Stay away when it starts showing problems Sell fast! I had too many problems (spent over $10000.00 in repairs since 2005).

  Woe is Chrysler - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By boats - June 19 - 7:52 pm

  I am laughing reading these reviews. I have literally had every problem listed: windows stopped going down interior lights would not shut off alternator needed to be replaced motor fans stopped working alignment is problematic radiator replaced battery (which is in a ridiculous spot) started leaking and burned hoses and now, it is finally at its death as the transmission is done. On a positive note, it does have 190,000k miles and if I did get the transmission fixed it might go 250k. But dang Chrysler! Come on!

  Not the Cadillac I expected as a kid. - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By BoeingB17FF - April 7 - 10:13 pm

  This car exceeds what I wanted in a car as a kid - classy styling - by adding aggressive handling. Boasting head-turning looks, it has no problem flying around corners near the speed limit with little assistance from the brakes. Its capable of stopping fast enough that Im worried about air bags deploying. Sluggish out of early gears. Has no problem picking up speed at higher speeds. Mine was purchased used. After manufacturer PCM reprog for Tranny control error code, the system shifts gorgeously. Bad for the wallet as it coaxes me into driving a few extra miles.

  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.

  300M Trade In Review - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By Not sure - December 31 - 9:19 am

  This car has been driven to and from work (1 mile), up to other offices within New Jersey and to the New Jersey shore. Regular servicing by a local repair shop. No major problems. No accidents. Some blind spot in the back from a wide connection between back seat window and rear window. Other than that it has been a good car.

  problems already.. - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By Hawk - December 24 - 9:53 pm

  We just bought this car for our middle child.. Not alot of driving but daily use expected. Before purchasing i put this car through its paces drove it hard, had it scoped twice then checked phyisically. No neg codes presentend but not all registered codes were recieved. Some kind of block in the link. Definite red flag!The car ran well and never showed complications. Once we got the car home the window in the rear stuck open. The interior lights above/front did not work anymore. Now none of the windows work fulltime and the marker lighting on the shift lever goes off/on. I would not recommend this car to anyone based on the electrical issues encountered in such a short period of time owned.

  Secure, Responsive Driving Machine - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By Enjoy the Ride - December 7 - 1:25 pm

  This 01 300M will go down as my first and probably only Chrysler purchase.Bought it used. I think it was the only Chrysler product on the lot. My kind of car has cost me nothing in any kind of " unusual" repairs or expense. And it can run like a bat out of hell if you extent your foot a little.

  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.
