Chrysler 300c

Which Chrysler 300c years should you avoid?

Going by 1,258 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Chrysler 300c years to avoid are 2006 and 2005.

• 2006698 complaints, 9.5× a typical 300c year, most often about the engine.
• 2005288 complaints, 3.9× a typical 300c year, most often about the fuel and propulsion system.

How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
