Review

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 car's styling and comfort and plenty of power when you need it.

Favorite Features

I love all the creature comforts such as CD changer, cold air, heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

I wish it had better visibility out of the rear window.

Review

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

Favorite Features

I like the heated mirrors and seats.

Suggested Improvements

After having owned three full size Chryslers I wish they would improve the windshield wipers and defrost system.

Review

2nd Chrysler product 1st was a 99 intrepid, and I loved it, but had bushings, brake and alignment issues always, never had any major work done. Got the 300 after intrepid was wrecked, and it's been nothing but transmission problems, tire replacements, and now when I accelerate, and brake the car vibrates, not sure what it is, just had to spend $1032 at pomoco Chrysler in VA to get seals replaced and a few other things. now less than a month later I will be back for poor steering, and the transmission is jumping when shifting, and not shifting between gears when accelerating. I will never purchase a Chrysler again, and might sell it. over $3000 in the last 6 months, and more tomorrow.

Favorite Features

dash board, heated leather, sunroof, climate control, and looks. but the car has poor build quality, thats why the resale value is so cheap, you might as well pay 5000 more for a better car.

Suggested Improvements

transmission, steering, over all build quality. when i see the 300c i just think of chryslers no good build quality. I wish i had a honda, and will get one soon. all chrysler have the same bushing problems, and tranmission jumping issues, fix them. improve dealer customer service.

2000 Chrysler 300 M- Major Problems

Review

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. Won't buy another Chrysler.

Favorite Features

Interior

Suggested Improvements

Better Realibility. The aluminum wheels are disaster as they leak constantly.

Review

I have to say this has been a trouble free car. It has had no major problems. It is one of the few cars I have owned in my 73 years that I like as much now as the day I drove it off the dealers lot. The new 300 is nice, except for more power in the 300C I would not sell my 300M to get one.

Favorite Features

I like to looks of the 300M and it is a fun car to drive and I enjoy it as a highway car.

Suggested Improvements

Due to my age I would like to have the seates have more cushioning. I would like to have seen Chrysler tint the windows but that is not something I cannot do myself as I did on the drivers windows on my 2004 PT Cruiser.

Review

This car is a maintenance headache. Had to replace all four power door lock motors ($150 ea.) Had to get the transmission fixed every three months within the last year. (over $1500) First a transmission computer chip had to be replaced. Then transmission hoses were leaking and needed to be replaced, etc. Right front speaker needed to be replaced ($75).

Favorite Features

The few times it works and doesn't break down.

Suggested Improvements

Quality.

Review

This car has been a major pain & costly to own. In the three years we have owned the car each of the power door lock motors went out one at a time costing about $200 each to replace. I have taken it into the Chrysler dealer every three months since April 2004 for transmission repairs. Each time the dealer gouged us any where from $200-$500. Its also needed emmision repairs, speaker replacement, computer repairs.

Favorite Features

None!

Suggested Improvements

Improve the overall qualtiy.

Great Highway car

Review

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.

Favorite Features

comfortable interior

Suggested Improvements

some road noise when driving over coarse pavement.

Review

My 300M was purchased in Philadelphia, and has been with me for moves to the cold of New England and the country of Lexington, Kentucky - one word describes my experience with the 300M - solid. Never any serious issues, the interior leather, size, and dependability will make me keep this car for 5+ more years..

Favorite Features

Leather interior, blue dash lights.

Suggested Improvements

None

Review

This was the perfect veh when I first purchased the veh but after I drove it 10,000 miles and had to purchase a sensor in my transmission. Then at 75000 miles I noticed slow cranking and will have to purchase and evaporator for my ac. I later found out this is common but I wish I would have known when I purchase the veh.

Favorite Features

The chrome wheels and interior is nice. It is an eye catcher but the dependability is questionable.

Suggested Improvements

Improve on the evaporator. This can be a big inconvience and a lot of ac repair shops don't want to do the work it takes to fix the problem they are all referring me to the dealership
