  Just a little nervous... - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By Sans Spin - January 31 - 7:28 pm

  At about 30K the car started to overheat. I forget what was wrong but fixing it was $600. Not too long after that the check engine light came on and remains solid. According to Auto Zone its something to do with the computer. Ive not taken it in yet because I dont have the $XXX to fix it! More recently, at 57K its starting to give me lots of weird signals. Right now, the radio stops playing after just an hour. It doesnt just cut off but if you touch the volume button, it quits. And... to top it off... dash lights will flicker on and off.

  Good Used Car - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By David - December 1 - 10:14 am

  Funny that I just replaced the Michelins on mine with Avons too and it made a huge difference in road noise. Overall a beautiful car design that is aging well. I looked and looked and finally decided on this for my $10k used car purchase. I dont think you will find another car out there in the price range with all of the equipment. Car handles well and has decent power. Interior design and fit definitely lags behind imports. Gas mileage is poor too. Overall nice size and plenty of room.

  nice car for the money - 2002 Chrysler 300M
  By M - November 18 - 12:22 pm

  I got it 1 year ago. First of all, when I hear about road noise I will say check you tires, I got new set form tire rack, avon tires, those are grat both in noise, handling and price, half of what you have to pay for Michelins. Overall I will say that the car is fun to drive, I like it. Exchanging brake pads from standard metal to ceramic (cost the same) would get rid off the brake dust, great.

  2nd 300M - 2003 Chrysler 300M
  By Jean Pierre - August 15 - 11:35 pm

  Traded my 1999, 300M for a 2003,300M. The reliabilty of this car makes Consumer Report lies, it is still excellent after almost 2 years and 40K. Considering the size and power of this car the gas mileage is good. Great fit and finish. Good handling and fun to drive. Inexpensive parts and servicing.

  2000 300M - 2000 Chrysler 300M
  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.

  Very satisfied - 2000 Chrysler 300M

  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!

  Domestic with European appeal - 2003 Chrysler 300M
  By Ryan Janicki - March 9 - 11:56 am

  I owned this vehicle for about 2.5 years. The most appealing features were its large size, sporty feel, and look. It met and exceeded my expectations in all categories with the exeption of quality. At about 40,000 mile it developed a leak from the transmission lines that needed replacement - $200 to fix - just as the vehicles warranty had expired. Secondly I had falures with the vehicles Air Bag system that were replaced under warranty after 10 visits to the dealership. I cannot be certain if it was the mechanics working on it or the parts they used, but 10 visits to the dealer on a 2 year old car seemed extremely excessive! The ABS system was fixed under warranty though.

  Great car before 70K Miles - 2001 Chrysler 300M
  By michellea - January 1 - 6:07 pm

  The 300M is luxurious to drive, very comfortable and has great power. I absolutely loved it until it hit 70,000 miles. Since then I have had nothing but problems. It is in the shop every couple weeks. I have had to replace so many things that I am afraid to drive it. I recommend this vehicle if you plan on selling it before 70K miles.

  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.

  300M - 2004 Chrysler 300M
  By charger srt8 - August 15 - 7:09 pm

  Very nice and stylish car. I have bought the 2004 300m special sedan and there were no warranty problems. It was very luxurious with the power sunroof, leather seats etc. It looks nice at the front and the interior but makes a lot of noise. We have almost 20,000 km on it had no trubles to drive it.
