Used 2007 Chrysler 300 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Thunk Problems
The only major complaint I would have with the Chrysler 300 is the "thunk" you feel when you slowly take off from a light and you hear a hard thunk (as though someone has hit you from the rear). The "thunk" sound also occurs when you are trying to reverse the vehicle. The Salesman along with Chrysler repair man says that Chrysler is aware of the "thunk" sound and that is has something to do with the "Tranny" and since the car has 3 computerized components, each components has different functions and they are playing catch up to each other when you hear that slight thunk.
This car has super power fast is a understatement
I have resolved the defrost issue. Was a body control module. Bypassed one circuit to allow air compressor to run. After several years in this auto still runs great. A one dollor part repaired a shifter issue that came up. No major repair issues. Over 150 thousand miles and still going strong. I am very happy. Body still looks good. Thirteen years old still kicking. My main auto. And would not think twice about cross country travel.

KRock's 300 Review
Great car to own. I wish that it got better mpg.The AWD is awesome for the MN winters. Great for me showing clients & their families homes!
Driving the 3.5 six vs the 5.7 v8
The bis 6 was great. Fine handling,very good power, but my wife wasn't impressed with the leather seats, and I wanted the walnut WOOD trim with sunroof. There was what we both wanted in C model (v8) in the lot. Superb power and only 1 mpg less than the 3.5 six, so we bought the C< with an excellent price. Huge A pillars detract from driver's vision, but plenty of leg and headroom, front AND REAR. Steering wheel controls are confusing and will take a lot of patience to memorize. Extra stalks around steering column are ridiculous as is power control for tilt/telescope feature.
300 CRD
Mine's the Diesel but it's not available in the drop down. However, excellent bit of kit, dealer is also very good. Just bought it 2 months ago, got 36 MPG on a long run - never had a 3 liter car return this sort of consumption. Massive 'A; pillars take some getting used to as does the length. a rear view camera would be very useful as the parking sensors don't seem to take much notice of anything not dead in line. Nice to be back in a car that other drivers respect (i.e. they move over when you come up behind them). Power to spare, still 'running in' but will do a ton at less than 3000 revs (on a private track of course).
