  By johngoan - April 23 - 2:13 pm

  I really like the way the car hugs the road and the responsiveness of the steering system. Its no sludge at a red light either!

  2000 Chrysler 300 M- Major Problems - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By harry - September 20 - 1:09 pm

  No problems until car was 4 years old and had 21,185 miles. Had to replace complete steering box and sway bar in July of 2004. Estimated bill from dealer was $2100 but they made goodwill adjustment and reduced it to $300. In June of this year the air conditioner started blowing warm air. Dealer checked for leaks and recharged for $246. Now in Sept it is blowing warm air again and they tell me the Evaporator needs replaced at $1050 and the car now has 28.861 miles. I has Chrylser for a adjustment and they refused. Pretty good realibility from Chrysler for a car having 28,861 mile! Had previous Chryslers and never had to replace major components like these. Wont buy another Chrysler.

  Great Highway car - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Gdoggy - November 1 - 2:00 am

  Other than regular servicing no trouble at all. Comfortable and controlled highway ride, decent fuel economy (25-31 mph.) To sum it all up over that last 101,000 miles: Great looks (my opinion)and reliability.

  DONT buy this car without a warranty - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Wesbar - December 16 - 2:00 am

  Overall quality of this car is pathetic as Ive had one problem after another. The rack and pinion had to be replaced ($800)after developing a dangerous amount of slack, the front passenger door lock actuator went out ($150), the drivers side speaker went out ($150) and now the fuel gauge is malfunctioning. I just paid the (Irving, TX) Chrysler dealership where the car was bought for a full tuneup ($200) at the 66,000 warranty service and they can do absolutely nothing about the very rough idle the car has developed. I can honestly say buying this car was a mistake and I will have absolutely nothing to do with Chrysler products in the future.

  LOVED it...til it started to fall apart - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By markra - October 3 - 2:00 am

  This car has broken my heart recently. Its been a joy when its working right, but now (87K), its turning into a HUGE money-eater. Every little problem turns out to be a big, expensive one. So far, my 300M has needed a head gasket(!), front control arms & struts, an A/C evaporator core, and now it needs a new computer (due to a failed purge sensor). Nearly $5,000 in recent repairs...will be complaining LOUDLY to Chrysler. Damn shame, cause I otherwise have loved it.

  A fun car to drive - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By L E Magnuson - September 17 - 2:00 am

  I selected this car over a Lincoln LS because I liked the styling. It was the same size, shorter than my Park Ave, but had a more "perky" look. The new shifter capability is fun to use on windy, hilly roads like we have in NC.My only complaint is there is a high degree of wind and road noise at high speeds on the highway. Also the only flat I had in several years occurred on a Sunday and it was difficult to find someone stocking a 17" tire.

  Never again - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Never Again - September 13 - 2:00 am

  Bought this car in 2000 after reading Chrysler had improved on their Quality. Boy was I wrong. To date, I have had power lock problems, power window problems, and the radio and climate control freaks out on me every so often. Oh yes, and the wheels are horrible. I have had 4 flats in 6 months. Dealership says its the Aluminum wheels and the wear caused by the salt. And, to replace the tire, you need a sledge hammer to get the wheel off!!! Its going on the used car mkt today

  solid car at 80K miles - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By jimblasick - August 26 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven this car 80K miles in just over 3 years routine maintenance, but no repairs whatsoever have been needed. Other reviewers are correct about the tire wear - and at $800 a set Id prefer not to be buying the FOURTH set of tires (including factory originals). So ... I was ready to trade for either the Lexus RX330 or the Infiniti FX45 and I drove both. Now, both are wonderful cars, BUT the 300M is more comfortable, rides more smoothly, handles better and is considerably faster than either of the others. Other than the tire wear, this has been a nearly perfect car. My only real regret is that I bought it in the silly "cypress green" color.

  Mixed feelings - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By Scottnjoan - April 23 - 2:00 am

  In August, I plan to walk away after 3- year lease. The car has been very reliable, luxurious and rides like a standstill at 80mph but too big for tight parking spots, rather boring to drive, and starting to show some age at 27K mi. Also, security system starting to become sensitive and triggering alarm when I park.

  Never Again Chrysler - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  By markmgolf - March 27 - 2:00 am

  Last Chrysler product for me. Glad it was only a lease. In the first 18000 miles, had a window motor replace, light switch replaced and the window trim shrunk and was replaced. By 28000 miles, the car had to be towed and the battery replaced. Also, way to much road noise. Enjoyed the ride and style. Too bad the reliability was poor.
