  91,000 miles in 45 months. - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By groveguy - December 10 - 2:00 am

  A great "road car" for both highway and country driving. Fun to drive with adequate power. Only problems were electrical & transmission. Both were taken care of twice under extended warranty. Great car for the money.

  300M - Stylish, Fast - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By 300MFan - December 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought the car because it comes loaded with features automatically - hate to keep adding features. The power for highway situations is outstanding! Interior is comfortable and spacious. Trunk opening is a bit small, but long, small diameter cargo can easily fit with back seats folded down - just dont try to put a TV in its box in there, it wont work! Fuel economy has averaged 24.5 MPG for 40,000 calculated miles - pretty darn good! I highly recommend this car!

  Purchased vehicle with 27k on it. Rotors had to be replaced immediately. Also had complete failure of power steering pump, which was replaced by dealer. More recently, the drivers window regulator failed. I paid for that out-of-pocket.

  By dave123 - December 3 - 2:00 am

  We purchased our 1999 300M about 11 months ago. It had 35,000 miles on it. Since then, the following repairs have occurred: door lock motor (twice), window mechanism, warped rotor, cracked evaporator coil, spindle bearings and now a broken transmission seal.

  Too Many Faulty Electronic Parts - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By Honda Driver Soon - November 9 - 2:00 am

  Window operators failed until they replaced all four, driver door switch wont control passenger window, two key memory settings never stay set side view mirrors move when gear shift moved into neutral turning of ignition switch 1st time gets no starter response, usually reequires turning twice Ignition switch replace once previously car drives and handles good, 26-28 mpg gas mileage, arm rest are too far from body to be comfortable for a man 62" although this is wifes car. Road noise from tires is beyond excessive for a car that cost this much I dont care what their excuse is.

  300M - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By JTJ - October 3 - 2:00 am

  Choice of this loaded used car or a new Intrepid with limited toys... Had an intrepid.. loved it, but wanted something a little more plush. Glad i did. Have had no problems other than a dashboard crack, which was fixed under recall and a window motor went. That cost me 150 bucks. But car is solid after 65000 miles and looks great.

  1 HOT CAR - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By MAS - August 27 - 2:00 am

  My 99 300M has almost 70,000 miles on it, and has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. Just had to change the original tires, and have needed brakes only once, at about 60000 miles. Only problems I have had (which were both covered under the extended warranty were the drivers side heated seat needed to be replaced because the heat stopped working, and I had the power steering box replaced. Other than that...nothing! I think that is exceptional after 70,000 miles. I would defintely buy another one!

  Great! - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By dok1300 - August 19 - 2:00 am

  Have had very few problems, and now have 62K miles on it. Only problem so far is the speed sensor, it cost $161 to replace. I have read about the power window problem, have had no problem there, but can hardly wait my turn! Car has a great trunk,back seat room, handles great for a large car, pep is exceptional. It has an annoying problem with road noise. While it is a fixable problem Chrysler choses not to worry about it. (The road/wind noise was MUCH worse on my 1993 LTS, if you can imagine that!) Maybe by my next one.....they will have committed to the wind/road noise thing.

  Best American design - 1999 Chrysler 300M
  By Louie Ett - August 16 - 2:00 am

  I mostly agree how you rate this car, but I believe having driven several of the competition cars, that it is better than most, interior quality and definetely better looking. Especially compared to the boring Japanese makes. Reliability is exellent, after 95000 mls, only oil and wear parts. Besides a sensor on the electronic auto transmission, (warranty) where the car was driveable but stayed in 2nd gear,(E- program) I had no problems. The gas mileage is better than on a 2002 Passat V6 and with quite more bang. Unable to find an European edition at the time my only critic is it could brake better.
