2015 Chrysler 300 S - Poor RELIABILITY
I purchased a Chrysler 300 S new in 2015 - Options were great - added Light Group (Bi-xenon lights) and Panaromic roof, blind spot & parking sensors, Beats by Dre Speakers - Chrysler performs well. Engine acceleration, ride, comfort. Problems I've had has been more electrical, which is never good. Heater went out. Dealership replaced by order something from the dealership. Later the Airconditioner went out. Then the airconditioner control panel went out. Each time, my car was in the shop for a week. This all took place within the 3 year 36,000 warranty.. I bought an extended warranty, which was a waste because one of my Bi-xenon headlights went out and it wasn't the bulb. The ballast went bad and you have to replace the whole Headlight Assembly. $1100 to fix my headlight. Needless to say, this car is not RELIABLE. What good does performance, looks and a nice stereo, if it will cost you thousands after a warranty expires. This is why I am hesitant to buy American cars, especially Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, (that includes Fiat, Alfa Romeo. Look at the Reliability and don't make my mistake. IF and this is a big if I were to get a Chrysler Automobile or its subsidiaries, I will lease the car. My guess is there will be tremendous problems when I turn in the keys after 36 months.

Poor beneath the surface
I purchased a 2015 300c 5.7l v8 hemi brand new. First, the cars seat comfort is excellent. The cars driver side seat ventilator motor gave out on its first use. If you want a smooth quiet ride I would avoid the 20" wheels, they are very noisy. The 5.7 hemi is fast but by todays standards not really... Plus the tradeoff of horrible gas mileage. What people who don't own one don't really know is that you have to get the rpm's pretty high in order to take advantage of the torque on the 5.7. I waited for the 2015 model so that I could get the 8-speed transmission. The shifts are jerky and inconsistent which was a concern but livable. Also when moving to 'drive' from 'reverse' and vise versa there is a loud pop when engaging into the gear. The big problem occurred when I was trying to merge on the freeway and under semi hard acceleration the transmission popped into neutral, then downshifted to a gear too low causing a major jerk reaction. I almost got rear ended because of this. This was all before the first oil change at around 8000 miles( the minor issues were present from the beginning). When I took the car in to the dealer they performed a bunch of computer updates. This did not fix the issue and the car did the same thing upon merging on the freeway again. Second trip to the dealer they had to replace the valve body. This car was just bought back from Chrylser through the lemon law. This car is garbage. Which is reflected in the resale value. May car was worth ~$25,000 in less than 1 year with low miles, I purchased it for $40,000! I did research and the Chrysler 300 is #1 in depreciation! This is why you see so many wankstas in used 300's. Save yourself and your wallet from this car and learn from my experience.

Still Proud to own
Disappointed that the vehicle did not have a CD player. Have an elderly Aunt (92) who had trouble fastening rear seat belt. No extension available from the dealer for the backseat. Purchased one from the aftermarket. Everything else Great! I will have to get used to washing a black car more often!

Re: A Dream
The 2015 Chrysler 300 C stands firm as a quality American vehicle. I traded in my 2012 Dodge Charger for less sport and more luxury. The only disadvantage is the 300 does not have EcoBoost. You will run your a/c and loose gas quickly. I could run my charger and get ice cold air without ever using the a/c and it barely used gas. I stay with the same manufacturer but forgot to research the EcoBoost.......that says a lot too!!!! The 300 does not disappoint.....the baby soft leather interior is so top of the line!!!!!
