Chrysler 300 Reviews

I am writing to you as a highly concerned citizen about a life threatening issue. I recently lost my dear mother after she suffered a head injury (subdural hematoma) when she was abruptly hit on the head by the car trunk of her 2005 Chrysler 300 sedan (VIN#**). The struts that hold up the trunk lid of the car failed and the trunk lid slammed into her unexpectedly. This is not a case of overuse. With the trunk, the usage was limited to grocery shopping. This vehicle has never been wrecked, never been in an accident, nor ever been damaged in any way. This vehicle was very well maintained and regularly serviced at a Chrysler dealership.

While driving my 2013 300s the lights on my dash began to flash. A few minutes later my radio cut off and would not cut back on. About a minute later I got a message on the dash that said "battery saver mode". I had no idea what was going on and all of a sudden my the car just shut down. I had no control over the car, no brakes, no steering... nothing. Luckily I was not in a position where I needed to avoid hitting other cars because I could not steer. I then started to smell burning rubber. After the car came to a complete stop the lights started flashing again and then the wipers came on. (They were not turned on.) The wipers slowed and then the car went totally dead (again). I Googled "battery saver mode" and saw that it was my alternator.

2015 Chrysler 300 - Within 30 minutes of driving car from place of lease, the AWD warning light came on. Was told by dealer that it would be Two weeks before they could look at it. I have continued to drive car and now have 4000 miles on it. AWD warning stays on most of the time. Now, during the last week driving at 70mph, the car loses power and warning light comes on saying the throttle is the problem. If I let off on the Accelerator for a few seconds, car then gains full speed. Anyone else have this problem?

2005 Chrysler 300 - After I will fill up the vehicle with fuel it will die when I go to turn out at an intersection or at a corner. It doesn't matter, the car will just lose all power. I'll have to put it into park and restart it which is very dangerous. Trying to teach my 15 year old daughter with her permit, now fearful every time behind the wheel.

2008 Chrysler 300 C, Hemi. Car parked in park in our home garage, went to start and anti theft system device prevented start. Car had to be towed to dealership. Keys used was newly replaced by ignition recall order. Total damage unknown at this time, towing cost $120.00.

I loved this car! Researched it endlessly until I found a used 300 in August 2013. I had 3 requirements: American made, V6 and AWD. At 8 months old with 15,000 miles, I found my dream car. I live in a remote, rural area and commute to work 42 mi one way, frequently take trips over mountain passes and have grandchildren with me all the time. I had this car serviced every 6 months and a alternator recall satisfied in June 2015.

I really love my 300, but the car sucks no one can say exactly what's wrong with the car. The car keeps shutting off on me if I'm stopped at a stoplight or stop sign. The code is reading I need a throttle body position sensor. Can anyone help me out with this problem because Chrysler have no idea what's going on?

I have crazy problems with my Chrysler 300, they started last year. While I was approaching a "STOP" sign my car started to idle low, then it just shut off. I had my ASE Certified mechanic come to my house to diagnose the problem. No problems were revealed thru the diagnostic machine so he said to change my crankshaft sensor. I did that. It shut off again a few months later. I was told it my fuel pump might be going bad but usually when it goes, it just goes. So I was told to change the throttle body. That was done. My car shut off again. The crazy thing is if I sit for about a minute the car will start back up like nothing was ever happened. With all of this happening, no error indication lights ever come on. What the heck do I do next? Contact me, anybody, if you have experienced this and have a solution.

I went to the dealership with a problem on my '08 300 erratically not starting, have taken it to 2 dealerships and was told to bring it in when the problem occurs, but if it is happening. I will be unable to get there, the dealership above on the last visit flashed my PCM and said that would fix it as they have seen the problem before. Less than 2 weeks later same issue and sometimes spending 20 minutes to get it running again.

I bought a 2011 Chevrolet 300 3 months ago and the back door handles soon broke.

We traded in our Jeep for a beautiful 2015 Chrysler 300. I fell in love instantly. We got it home and realized it had a finger sized scratch on the trunk. Took it to the dealership to be fixed. Started driving home and all of sudden a door open alert started to turn on the lights in the front part of car and the locks started clicking and going crazy. We stopped and checked all the doors, once again this issue started again. Got it home and noticed a chip in the paint. And still had the same sensor issue when my husband sits in the passenger seat. Taking the car back to the dealership and getting our jeep back. I am so disappointed and sad. I fell in love with a broken car :,(.

1/2014 bought used 300C w 5.7 liter Hemi & all wheel drive. Every bell & whistle included. My dream machine. Had 11,000 miles on her. At 12,250 the alternator caught fire. Luckily it happened just as I entered the car wash!! Took it back to the dealer the next morning. Spent considerable time with the G.M. explaining how I didn't want this car. Owned 29 days at that time. The maintenance manager stepped into his office as we were talking and interjected that the wiring harness in the 300s is not heavy duty enough gauge wire to carry the charge. They replaced the alternator. Apparently they changed my oil as a courtesy, because the next morning following picking it up from the shop, it spilled a large pool of oil under the filter. They tightened the filter.

I have not got a response. I been hearing my car has been recalled. My car cuts off when I am driving. I have electrical problems. I hear clanking sound when I am driving. Since I bought it I had nothing but problems. Rear end - did, Front end - did, transmission now. I'm told I need pcm. I'm broke. I hate Chrysler now.

My 2006 Chrysler touring keeps dying after battery light goes. Took to have battery charged which has no dead cells. Then it dies again!!! Not sure what else to do. Have had several problems with electrical system. Due to faulty installation on rear mirror which leaked into trunk. Problem resolved after several days in dealer! Then Sunroof went out and cost close to $900 to fix. However, dealer idea of fixing is that I cannot use sunroof again!!! Overall, very dissatisfied despite leaving my car which gets regular oil checks and whatever is recommended. Don't know what to do!!

I was excited about getting a Chrysler 300. Ever since they came out in 2005 I really wanted one so I got a 2006. I wish with what I know now I should have googled up some research from other previous Chrysler 300 owners. Well at any rate for months after I got the car I started hearing this tapping noise on the driver side under the hood in the engine. A friend of mine noticed it, a woman and the first thing she said was "is your car supposed to sound like that?" At any rate the car kept on making that noise. I took it to a mechanic - first thing he said was "buy another engine or get rid of this car." I tried adding Lucas Oil synthetic to it didn't solve the problem. Is sad that Chrysler put out a car like this and won't fix it.

First I want to say that this car was my first 'big purchase' and I was immediately smitten with my 2010 300 touring AWD. It's definitely a head turner with the stock chrome wheels shining against the bold, blue metallic paint and it drives really smooth like a luxury car should - when everything is working. I purchased the car with 54k miles and since I had never owned a Chrysler before, took out an extended service contract, which I'm glad I did. Now the car is at 103k miles and I'm ready to part with it. Overall it hasn't been the nightmare some of you had, but my experience with the car make me really nervous to drive it with no warranty.

I have a 2006 300. The car keeps on shutting off when I fill up my gas tank, or on the highway. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! Everyone has a problem. Please Chrysler do right by the people. It's getting very expensive to fix the car. It's in the shop every other week. Now my mechanic is telling me it might be the computer. I'm hoping that's the only problem to fix on the car. I have done everything possible to the vehicle. My mechanic and I can't think of anything else to fix for the car to be safe on the road. GOD PLS HELP ME!!!!!!

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 Touring. The 2nd week we were stranded 3 1/2 hours away from home. After 2 more weeks, cab fare, hotel, rental car, and finally a towing charge for the car to be brought from that corn-fed country dealership to my neighborhood up-to-date dealership, the fuel pump was changed. I ended up writing a detailed letter to Chrysler's corporate office and to my surprise, they sent a check covering all my costs. No letter, no apology, just an envelope and check. Beggars can't be choosers, well maybe I did pay $35000 just four weeks ago.

I have a 2007 300. If I drive from A to Z then turn it off It will be fine. But if I drive again and shut it off it won't start till it cools off. It's not overheating and battery is good. No one knows why when you try to start it it sounds like the battery is dead but it's not. I'm disabled, a cancer patient and I need my car. Can anyone shine some light on what it might be. I'm thinking my starter. Maybe it's not grounded properly.

I purchased my car new and the first three years were great. I had problems with my car shutting off in midst of driving. My car was under extended warranty. I continued taking the car in for service for about year. Each time I took the car in something was claimed to be fixed. My car would work fine for a short time and then the problem would start again. The dealer could not find a solution for my car stopping. I tried on several attempts to contact corporate office to voice my concerns about the car and no returned my messages. I would not buy about Chrysler product. I was very pleased with the design of car, however I did not feel safe to continue driving my car.

On my 2007 Chrysler 300 Limited sometimes when I'm driving my wheel gets really stiff like there's almost no power steering but then goes back to normal. What is this? And do you know how to fix it?

My 2011 Chrysler 300 is eating rear tires. Rear control arms must be replaced, Conway Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Conway, SC tells me. This is an item that should be adjustable, not replaced at a cost of nearly $900 for both sides. Chrysler customer service was pleasant, but refused to offer any help, AND refused to allow me to talk to a supervisor. I have no complaint with the local dealer. I do not believe this is a normal wear-and-tear issue. This is a design flaw that Chrysler should take responsibility for. My intent is to NEVER purchase another Chrysler product again.

My car was stuck in PARK. This problem, according to the handbook, said that the small blue plastic clip under the removable tray to the side of the shifter should be pressed and this should release the gears so I could get to the dealer. It didn't work. A quick look through YouTube showed there was a fault which was on recall number F38 but when I mentioned this to the dealer I was told this does not apply to vehicles in Australia. WHY? After paying $150 for repair I would warn owners to be careful as this could happen at any time and anywhere.

Own a Chrysler 300c, 2005. I have experience the same thing with my car door handles -- all 4 handles have broken.

I have 3 broken door handles and have a friend with the same car who has 2. I called Chrysler who told me I had to take car to the dealer and pay them $89 to do a diagnostic to tell me if this is because of normal wear and tear before they will even consider helping me and then it's not guaranteed. Now I have a 93 Lexus with not one broken door handle. Go figure!

2006 Chrysler 300 Hemi- I live in a fairly warm area with many summer days nearing 100 degrees. Two years ago my a/c started blowing ambient temperature. I literally have had it in every three weeks during April-Sept. with them being unable to find the problem… Putting in freon and dye and 3 weeks ago they found the problem. $850+ and it worked less than 2 weeks. I've had it with the poor service and think I have been more than patient but after having 4 previous Chryslers I will not buy another.

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300c AWD and both of my door handles broke in the bask, and I get a clunk sound when I let off the gas and sputtering when I turn corners. Still haven't figured out what it could be.

I have had my 2006 300 awd touring for any a year now. I bought it from the dealer and had problems with a high pitch cry coming from the car after two weeks. I went three different times for them to figure of what the sound was and no one could seem to hear it when I could. But that is not my biggest problem. I recently had my 300 in the shop for leaking oil. The first time it happened there looked to be a hole in the filter so it was changed and fine. Four days later, I start out up and it's running super loud. I checked the oil and there was nothing in it with oil on the ground.

I have a 2010 Chrysler 300 4 dr sedan. I have never had a car where the door handles broke. I would like to know if there any recalls on them because I have two door handles that are broken.

I bought a 2010 300 AWD V6 at 35K from a the dealer. It was certified vehicle and as I had purchased previous car was at ease with Trust to buy from them. At the time of purchase I brought to their attention a crack on bumper and never got repaired from them after a verbal assurance by manager. The rear bumper was painted by them as it had scratches. Later I found this Certified inspected car had been painted on sides was in a crash and had broken headlight hinge plus bad rotors too...

2007 Chrysler 300 touring - This is absolutely the worst car I've ever owned! Turned out to be the most expensive too after adding in repairs & EVERYTHING that has gone wrong is ALL listed in complaints from other owners not to mention most were in recalls for same make model & year of my car but "my VIN didn't qualify" except on air bag & even though my air bag is expanding almost popping out of steering wheel the Chrysler dealer here has turned me away two times for this saying that Chrysler is not providing them parts to fix this! This car shuts off while driving on highway even putting my children & me in very difficult, dangerous, very close call situations! The car may look beautiful but it is a piece of crap! Almost all the parts down to little nuts & bolts are only available at dealer as well!!! Feels like I'm driving in a coffin it has been so. Dangerous!

I have a 2006 300 Touring. The possessed car. Works great then at a light it will just stall. Can't fill tank all the way up. Finally I got a code of transmission control module system not making connection. All the other times I won't get a code. Chrysler is aware of this yet they had me pay for a computer to be reset??? I'm reading a million reviews about this... why no recall on this model? I have kids in my car... if I'm driving and start to go and still, we will get hit from behind!!!

I purchased 2 Chrysler 300 c's both have a broken gear shifter and both of the brake light appears to come on and stay on until I pull the park brake. It happens on both my cars and they are the same model and year - 2006 300c. I'm telling anyone who listen not to buy a Chrysler.

Radio, Bluetooth and now A/C not working. Less the 6500 miles and I am now going to the dealership for a 3rd time for the same component (Center display - an control hub for vehicle). Each time I have gone they were unable to reproduce! My wife had the same issue with her Dodge Dart a few years back (Could never reproduce). It came to the point the service was so bad she finally traded it in for a Ford and took a beating on the trade-in. I am not there yet but I am getting very close as this is taking too much time and effort.

My Chrysler 2006 awd which has 57,000 miles on it has started to act up from last year to now. What it does is the following... I am driving along, I make a right turn and going into the turn the steering wheel locks, the car stops moving... and the oil light comes on (got an oil change 3 weeks prior). I have to put the car in park force the steering wheel straight, turn car off... wait a sec... turn back on for car to drive/move again. In a span of an hour it happened to me 5 times as I was coming home from school the other night... thank goodness it was late and therefore had no cars up the rear of my car... but if I was on highway or rush hour my fear was of being the cause of a massive accident as the car just shut down while driving and foot is on the accelerator. Has anyone else had this problem? I called Chrysler corp they of course claim no one has complained about this before... which I believe to be total bunk!!!

Since the car was new, with a 3.6L V-6 and 5 speed auto., when accelerating full throttle, the vehicle veers either direction. When the transmission shifts to 2nd and 3rd gears, It almost feels as if you're going to lose steering control, and go off the road. It's very unnerving. We've never complained to Chrysler about it. But it is getting serious. The car handles and drives great. It's just under full throttle acceleration when this problem happens.

I have a 2006 Chrysler 300, the car is beautiful and is very comfortable but that is the only good thing I can say about it. My lights would flicker on and off on its own so I had to have the headlight switch replaced, the part was $60 and easy enough to install on my own which was fine but it idles high and runs rough. I had the egr valve replaced $678 and now am told it needs O2 sensors, catalytic converter, and alternator replaced and it also has Electronic control, thermostat, and pcm issues as well. I can not afford to put all that money into this piece of junk. I am a single mother paying off student loans and a house while trying to raise 3 kids on my own.

2008 Chrysler 300 Touring 3.5 litre Hemi....yes there are 2 type. Nothing happened, that's the point. Unfortunately those who bought the first Chrysler 300's bought experiments that failed until about 2007 and after at which time the cars were perfected, run great and I have had no replacements or problems whatsoever since I have owned my car.

2005 Chrysler 300 Touring, told that is the same as (300.) Told to replace PCM Because the lights are flickering Bad and that was the reason for the new Alt, Batt, and Re-Flash done by Chrysler but they couldn't get the pcm to read so they said to replace the PCM at $900.00 and find out if that fixes this light problem, well I'm tired (mentally and Money) of this Car and I think it should be on RECALL but I THINK the reason they won’t recall them is it will put Chrysler out of Business. But THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE and I have sunk $2,500.00 into this piece of JUNK and WHAT DO I DO NOW? OUT OF MONEY, NO CAR, HAVE KIDS. Bought it for 25,000. Stupid, yes I know, But it’s now worth $5,000. Please someone help me before I drive LOSE MY COOL NOT FAR AWAY. Boyfriend’s car adding, was told to get air conditioning fixed it would cost $2300.00, was gonna blow this off but I'll put it all out there!!!!

Oct. 2014, I traded in my Denali for this new 300s. 1st Had to take car back to dealer (100 miles) due to sun roof not closing. 2nd I live in mountains, AWD is required, this AM the "service AWD" comes on and I'm stuck on a hill. Shut it down and waited five min. restarted and service light was out and AWD started working again. Taking to dealer Tuesday. I've owned GMC Yukon Denali's for the past six years and never had a problem with the AWD on those. Is this typical for Chrysler?
