Chrysler 300C Luxury

This is a great vehicle for comfort and style – This car is a great vehicle for comfort I use it for most every thing including weddings I get the car serviced regularly the only issue I had was the main seal at the back of the gearbox started leaking got it fixed the mechanic said it was a common problem because of the location of it but Benn good now for a couple of years no other problems Show details

Comfortable but poor build – Very nice appearing vehicle. I had the black with factory black wheels. Fully loaded with options which you normally only find in cars that cost a lot more. However build quality is poor. By 20,000km the wrap around the steering wheel was coming off. Had to be glued back on. At 25,000km the spring loaded compartment cover had broken. Maybe I got a lemon. But I really enjoyed driving it. Show details

Beware dealing with Fiat Chrysler Australia – looks like its the same for a lot of people. 5 stars for buying the car. but if you have any issues with the car repairs and warranty issues its a 1 star, and only because there is no zero. beware if you buy any cars of Fiat Chrysler Australia. Jeep, Chrysler , Fiat and the rest. If you will have any issues after sales(and the odds are high… Read more

you will - look at car recall by brand Australia) you will regret the day you bought the car.

I also had 5 starts service when buying the car but this is where it ends! 16 warranty issues in 12 month. some are multiply times. the repairs cost and parts is higher than the car cost.

7 month I had an exhaust leaking into the aircon into the cabin. high levels of carbon monoxide were found in the car. it is dangerous for me my passengers and other road users. 7 month of attempts to repair this issue between 2 dealerships and only once I got a lawyer and an independent report to prove my claim (took the independent mechanic 2 days of work to find the problem) only then the dealer admitted and repaired the problem. this after my car was in their shops many times more than 60 days of work, weeks in which they claimed nothing wrong with it and then after 7 month of exhaust leak into the cabin they have found that what I claimed for 7 month is correct and there is a leak in the DPF unit again.

this also after I hired a lawyer and the first reply from their lawyer was that my car is not under warranty and that they haven't seen my car in over a year. funny that... I got invoices from them and car is under warranty. they admitted on the next letter they were wrong. but in the process have cost me more money in legal fees. so far 10k in legal and they still claim that it wasn't a major issue under consumer law.

- In 2015 Fiat Chrysler Australia was found liable for mishandling consumer complaints, parts that take 4-6 weeks to come from the USA and few other issues. they announced with the ACCC redress program to resolve all the complaints. Goggle ACCC and Fiat Chrysler Australia and see for yourself.

- Check Fiat Chrysler Australia on Facebook. its a rating of 1!!! each and every person gave it 1 out of 5 rating.

- Google car recalls by brand Australia

- Google destroy my jeep see why there are nearly 10000 people on the page

- Check you tube for I made a mistake I bought a jeep

if you still don't believe me find me on Facebook and I'll show you documents that I am telling the truth.

here is a list of things that were wrong with my car

2x DPF units causing exhaust fume to leak into the cabin for 7 month each cost around $9000

Turbo few more thousands

Toe bolt

faulty parking sensors

2 recall on steering wheel

3 repairs to steering wheel

driver seat collapsed 3 times! frame snapped once- I am 89 kg not the heaviest person in the world

Auto transmission was not serviced correctly by a dealership and my car got stuck in park for 2 month every morning.

Toe bolt

wheel bearing

Bluetooth module

front control arms

and there is much more.

So if you want all smiles and good service when you buy the car and you don't care about what happens if there are issues after sales go buy one but make sure you have lots of Cash, spare time and be prepare for the heartache if anything goes wrong

I bought my car for work and now I am thousands out of pocket. I haven't had even 1 day between May 15 to 18/12/15 that the car was free of issues

anyone wants a proof for my claims welcome to find me on Facebook.

Hold back don't fall for marketing campaigns read the reviews and the links I posted above before you buy any FCA cars

I will update the review if Fiat Chrysler Australia and the dealer decide to let me exercise my right under consumer laws.

dream car at a dream price – I purchased a 2013 300c Diesel in white, I can get well under 7.1 lts per 100 klms (6.8) and I drive progressive ! so many things for the price! heated seats, heated steering wheel, cup holders, cooling seats in the front and cup holders, 2 seat memory, auto wipers auto main beam fantastic on board computer tells all, engine, gearbox temp, tyre… Read more

pressure. full economy details I have a caravan old and heavy, 12.7 Kls per 100 kls for the price very happy anyone interested should take a long test drive, you will soon get to love this car.

2013 300c – I purchased a 2013 300c 3.6 v6 8 speed auto new last year and its ok but not great. It's a good looking car and doesn't go unnoticed but it's not a BMW or MERC and nowhere near it. The ride is not as smooth as it could be and every bump in the road can be felt also the seats are very stiff even though I have them on the softest possible setting.… Read more

Fuel consumption is around 13 litres/ 100k around town and 10 litres / 100k highway cruising which is not bad for a 1.8 ton vehicle. I suspect the vehicle will start falling to pieces when it's a bit older so I will be trading it in next year.

This car is a hidden gem – I thought I would buy a car that was a bit different from the mundane bunch of the usual fare on offer. I had a test drive , and thought "I reckon I'll give this a go". Glad I did. This is a open road gem. Great on fuel (8 litres per 100k). Bought the base 300 petrol 8 speed. Plenty of features, more than happy. Very quiet, very smooth drive. I've… Read more ·  1

done 20,000K so far and really, I could not be happier with this car. Not so the dealer I bought it from. Very poor service indeed in my experience. Still, you might have a different experience if you buy from this dealer. As the question goes "Would you recommend this dealer to a friend?" Answer "No" Smooth ride , great on fuel. And nobody says "Hey what was that car", everybody knows and wish they had one. Poor dealer experience. They won't see me, or the car, in there again.

Harsh downshifts – Car developed harsh, jolting downshifts into lower gears at only 3000km's. Chrysler technicians at the dealership purchased from have no solution. Search on the internet reveals that dozen's of V6 8 speed Jeeps, Chryslers and Dodges (share the same Pentastar engine and ZF transmission) have developed similar issues. According to these forums,… Read more

Chrysler is fobbing off owners by declaring the problem isn't a problem at all, but a "characteristic" of these vehicles.

If this is characteristic of these vehicles, why:

1. didn't the demonstrator vehicle drive this way?

2. wasn't I informed that these vehicles would "characteristically" be expected to develop this issue within a short period of being driven?

Before purchasing these vehicles, do your own research on "Chrysler / Jeep / Dodge 8 speed transmission problems". Styling and fuel economy. Uncapped servicing costs, poor quality workmanship at Chrysler dealer and ridiculous cost of spares/accessories.

Great value for money! – I purchased a new Chrysler 300C (2013 model) and so far it has been excellent, much better than my previous Holdens. This vehicle is great on fuel, it got us from Seymour where we filled up and all the way to Sydney (Riverstone) on a full tank!! We couldn't believe how fuel efficient it was, we were also using the air conditioning for most of the… Read more ·  1

trip. The Chrysler is extremely comfortable, quality interior, quiet (no rattling), cool features such as the rear sunshade, push start ignition, usb/bluetooth, big display screen, premium Alpine sounds system and the cooled/heated seats and cup holders. It is a very smooth and stable drive, it glides around corners and handles very well in the wet weather. The only difficulty we've had is judging distance but otherwise it's a very solid family car. Insurance wasn't cheap but I guess it was to be expected. The 300c was expensive but good value for money, hopefully we will continue to enjoy it for a few more years to come. Cool features/gadgets, looks (beautiful car), ambient lighting, solid feel and fuel consumption. Large body (hard to slide into parking spots), middle seat is rather small, not much space in the back.

300C Chrysler – The Chrysler 300 C petrol is very economical. It used only 13 L per 100km and I live in Sydney! Great fuel consumption! Diesel uses only 10L PER 100 km in the city. I tested it and both diesel and petrol are very fuel economical. I definitely recommend it to anyone.  Show details

Amazing – The Chrysler 300 C Luxury is the best car I have ever driven would recommend to anyone, it's much better than the Ford Falcon low model. Very fuel efficient. I used to own a 2005 model, it still works with 190,000 kms on it. Very easy to repair too. The inside is very luxurious. Would recommend it over the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Santa Fe. VERY GOOD CAR I LOVE IT fuel efficient cheap luxury  Show details

New 2013 Chrysler 300 C Luxury – Just love it! It's a beautiful car in avery aspect inside and out. I test drove the Falcon G6E but there is no comparison. When my wife and I took it for a test drive it was all over for the Falcon. It's just a class above or two. The radar blind spot sensors came in handy 2 minutes after buying the car when a 'P plater' charged into the space I… Read more

was moving in to.

It is so quiet, I have passengers ask if the engine is on! Everyone loves the blue back lit dash, the quality of the interior and the sheer presence of the car in the street. People seem to stop and stare from school boys to mature citizens. It is powerful yet economical on a trip. I returned 9L/100k on a trip with out trying to be careful. The ECO mode just works and it's intelligent also.

I would highly recommend this car and I have had a lot of cars over the years, but this is a whole new world. Still exploring all the gadgets which I thought might be just toys but have come in very handy eg heated seats in Canberra are great! Best Car I have ever owned, highly recommend it if you can stretch a few grand over the local product who really are just now starting to catch up.

Location and operation of the footbrake is a pain. Even my 1974 Lincoln Continental automatically release the foot brake when you take it out of 'Park', Chrysler is manual and easy to forget. Quality of design, components, fit and finish. Powerful but quiet with a great sound system. Don't like the execution of the foot brake.
