Bought it new in 1999 and now have 8 years with almost no issues. Fixed 2 of the door locks - like everyone else - and had the drivers window motor go out. Plan a couple hundred for each item. Otherwise a strong runner that's great to drive. I would highly recommend buying one of these used as a dependable family car. Lots of room, good performance and good looks. And, over 10K miles of city and light highway driving, I average 23.6 MPG. Upwards of 28 MPG on long hauls.

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).

To all those w/front end wheel play,shimmy or noise & excessive tire wear: be aware the Chrysler dealerships tolerance for "alignment" vs that of independent hi-quality front-end alignments is considerable. We went thru original 4 Michelins 60K tires lasted 30Kmi. Check bushings.Also, rack&pinion replaced after experiencing excessive play in steering. Three power- locks replace @ different times; window tubing shrunk & replaced several times. During recent recall to fix seat mounts, dealership broke the power seat motors
Too many problems.

If only it had a better looking front and was more reliabile, this car could have joined the classic cars. What I don't understand is why Chrysler seem to be careless to the same problems that keep on coming year after year without taking care of them.

My 300 now has 100K miles on it and it still looks and drives as good as when I first drove it off the lot. I've done the regular tune-ups etc, aside from a faulty computer, replaced under the original factory warranty, the car has been trouble free. I get about 21/22 MPG in Houston, TX city traffic and an average of 29/30 Highway. In the past six years it's made the following trips form Houston TX to: Chicago, IL 5 times/ Orlando, FL 2 times/ Colorado Springs, CO 2 times/ El Paso, TX 4 times/ Mexico City, Mexico 8 times/ San Antonio,TX 20 times/ Dallas, TX 20 times. It has been a great car, I'll drive it until the wheels fall off!!
Solid Performer

Bought new in 1999 and I couldn't be more pleased. I had to replace the door locks and power window motor like others here, but that's it - a total of about $600 in repair over 8 years. Drives great and I've been impressed on mileage - 29+ in freeway driving with 4 adults and luggage. 22.5 in everyday city driving. If you're looking for a low cost family car, easy to maintain but fun to drive - this is it.
Great performance, mediocre reliability.

I have had the car for 4 years so far. Bought it in 2008 with 77K miles on it. Since then I've had to replace the power door lock on the driver's side, the front suspension control arms, turn signal flasher and the oil pressure switch. The a/c also doesn't blow cold because there's a leak in the a/c system (the condenser, compressor, or evaporator). Not sure if I want to spend the money to fix the a/c. Also the interior instrument panel lights were flashing, so I replaced the headlight/dimmer switch assembly with a used on purchased from eBay (that fixed the problem). However the car has strong acceleration and smooth engine performance, but Chrysler needs to focus on reliability.
Comfortable, Reliable, Fun Car

My second 300M , both a pleasure to own. The first had a sticky driver's window and one faulty switch in 30K mi. The second has been trouble free. The only design fault I can complain about is the high trunk sill that gets scratched by heavy suitcases. Hardly major!
Good price, sacrifice quality

2nd chrysler product I've bought, will be my last. The power- everything options is where the quality shows through. For the first 2 1/2 years I had no major problems. Since then, my engine cut out on me while on an off ramp, almost causing an accident. Carbon buildup in the throttle bore (29k miles). Power window went bad. Power seat shifted around as i drove (dealer considered "normal"). You get what you pay for. Car is nice to look at and comfortable to drive, but still k- car quality. They consistantly rank at the low end of reliability for a reason.
Good Value For the Price

I was looking for a car that was sporty yet had room for more than two people. Compared the 300M to Lincoln LS and Lexus. Although those cars are considered exceptional, the 300M was by far the best bang for the buck. Had some Goodyear tire issues that got resolved, they were causing a slight pull to the right. They need to improve upon the molding around the doors, doesn't seem to fit very well.
