300M at a Glance
My 300M has never had any failures at all, mechanical or other. At 26500 miles, the car performs at the same levels as when I purchased it, from my perpective. 100% reliable, well built, nice looking, and excellent features are packed in this one!
Never again
Bought this car in 2000 after reading Chrysler had improved on their Quality. Boy was I wrong. To date, I have had power lock problems, power window problems, and the radio and climate control freaks out on me every so often. Oh yes, and the wheels are horrible. I have had 4 flats in 6 months. Dealership says its the Aluminum wheels and the wear caused by the salt. And, to replace the tire, you need a sledge hammer to get the wheel off!!! Its going on the used car mkt today

Glad it's a lease
I picked this up 4/00. The finish shot. The dealer was 'unable' to fix. I had to buff it myself. Day one, the tail lights didn't work. Found that out at 1 AM. just swell. Other problems: an auto lamp that goes nuts in bright sunlight, a crunching noise in the front end but the mechanics can't find it. The car was delivered W/O an air filter, go figure. Three years the State of Florida has mailed the re-regist. paper to Chrysler Leasing and they have THROWN THEM AWAY. This has earned me a nice $ 85 fine while parked at Miami Airport. Complain to Chrysler? They simply suck and are incapable of changing. Why is this car is rated highly?
Many problems
I love the design of the car but have had a lot of trouble with the dealership as well as the reliability. The following is what has been repaired/replaced since the purchase: 2 sets of rotors, plus 1 resurfaced. 2 sets of brake pads, 2 alignments, 8 tires, drives side door latch (twice) and steering rack. The car currently has 28,000 miles on it. I currently have a compaint into Chrysler and I am awaiting their response.
Chrysler 300M
Bought a loaded, but used, 300M with 173,000 miles for wife at auction. Initially was leery about car, given Chrysler's reputation for poor product quality, but so far have been pleasantly pleased. Highway acceleration is good. Sound system is nice, except two speakers are blown, and I can't stand the idea of paying for something that my 10-year-old son calls "cosmetic." Only major mechanical problem has been a transmission sensor that put car into "limp in" mode. Once diagnostic code was cleared, car ran fine. I think my 300M must have been lovingly maintained by a doctor or something, because it's been--knock on wood-- relatively problem-free. Insurance costing more than maintenance.
Excellent Car
This car has not given me one problem in over 30,000 miles so far. I can't believe how great it is.
Flawless 300M
I have had my 2000 300M for 27 faultless months. I have not had to take it back to the dealership for any warrenty repairs yet. The only fault that I can find with the vehicle is the Goodyear tires supplied from the factory. They are very expensive, and wear out much too soon. I have already replaced two of the original tires, and will replace the other two very soon. Other than that, it has been a great car with excellent power, and respectable gas mileage.
Highway and Country Traveler
After driving BMWs for years, I was looking for a good mix of handling and performance without the BMW repair bills: A fully loaded (including Perf/Handling package and sunroof) 300M. The original Michelin Pilot 17" tires are now about half worn, and only "talk" to me when I really lean into a corner. The front end is rock solid at 80+. I like the auto-stick for control on mountain roads (I drive them almost daily). I also like the mileage (avg 24 and 30 on the open hwy). It had a vacuum leak initially, but they fixed it in one visit. It's not a racer, but it will out- handle any other 4 door Detroit monster. Good job Chrysler.
Great car/Pulsations
The car is 99% perfect. As from other posting this car had warped rotors early and were replaced. Very heavy pulsations when breaking occurs.
GM Man finds 300M
As a 45 year old driver that can normally drive the best cars into the ground with hard driving, I find the Chyrsler 300M beefy enough with its AutoStick Transmission to get the most out of exceleration or engine braking. It has the horsepower to keep up with the Bimmers or 'Stangs yet is curvacious enough to have an elegant feel. The automatic temperature controls work flawlessly, while the auto light control keeps you safe.
