problem #2

300 Touring 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,000 miles

Paid $32,000 for 51,000 mi. After buying my 1st Chrysler said never again. Got suckered in by a good looking car & now sorry I did it again. 2 time loser. Flat busted & broke down on old country road in middle of nowhere in north Mississippi on 4th of July weekend. Changed oil every 3000 mi. I drive company vehicle so only bought this for vacation trips.

problem #1

300 Touring 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles

61,000 miles and maintained to perfection. Not a scratch and ran quiet. Turned it off one day and when I went to start it, wouldn't start. Figure computer problem or something simple given the mileage....SURPRISE! Chrysler's crappy rocker arm assembly (Known and common problem they have since updated) screwed up and bent two valves. Now I have to have the head removed and sent off to get the valves done and everything else that goes with it. $3200.00. As I said, 61,000 and perfectly maintained. Swore I would never buy a Chrysler after the last piece of crap (1995 Stratus I traded in with 19,000 miles cause it was crap and Chrysler wouldn't do a thing). Got lured in by the looks and low mileage of this 300 and got screwed. Live and learn I guess...NEVER AGAIN!!
