Used 1999 Chrysler 300M 4dr Sedan Consumer Reviews
I should have known better...
I've been hesitant at buying a Chrysler ever since the transmission problems of the 80's. This car caught my eye and made me forget about the way Chrysler didn't stand behind their product in the past. My two 7 inch long cracks in the dash around the airbag knocked me back to reality. Chrysler doesn't care and says that it's "environmental". Since I can't trade the car like this and it will cost over $1000 to fix it, this car has now become my official beater. Unfortunately, the internal dash lights are now starting to flicker and the transmission is sporadically jerking, so I don't think my beater is going to last much longer.
Chrysler's Flagship?
The car was everything I wanted except reliable. At 76900 miles and 3 years of ownership I am disappointed in this car's reliability. Under warranty a) Driver's side window motor replaced 3 times. b)Remaining three window motors replaced twice for same reason. c) Speed sensor for the transmission replaced twice for failure. Out of warranty repairs: a)Speed sensor for transmission 3rd time. Lasted 30,000 miles this time. So not covered by Dealership standard 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty. b)fuel pump module due to failure. Did you know that it cost $300 just for this device. Labor and tax extra.

First Chrysler
Great looking vehicle, gets plenty of nods. I was filling up at a gas station and had someone pull in just to tell me they loved the car. Reliability and strange qwerks are a concern
Problems, Problems, Problems
I purchased this car in February of '99, and have had the starter replaced, A/C Fan replaced (2X), Engine Cooling Fan replaced, drivers side window motor......although it is fun to drive and is very roomy for a person of my height (6'3"), Chrysler has to work out the problems that I have been seeing in these reviews!
Looks Are Deceiving!!!!!
The car only looks nice. I would never buy another Chrysler in my life.Everything that can go wrong, did go wrong.The car is in the shop every other month.Windows, Speed sensors, fans, modules, mirror controls, brakes parts, speakers etc. there are no warnings! the car just quits anytime, anywhere. One time I had not been out of it 30 minutes,I got back in,it would not start. (modules).One day I was one my way home from the repair shop and it quit, you fix one thing and something else goes bad!!! Chrysler needs to have a lifetime warranty on this car.
