"I first purchased the 2011 300C in Oct 2011 for my birthday. The evening I purchased the car in was raining so I made an appointemt to come back to the dealership to looked over the car with the salesman. When I came back the next day we noted several problems with the car for the dealership to fix. 1)Both head lights had water in them. These are sealed beams and should not have any water in them at all (replaced). 2)The exterior mirrors, both driver and passenger side had water in the turn signals (replaced). 3)The trunk was having problems shutting after the salesman showed me the items in the trunk. 4)I also have had the trunk open up while I am driving on the interstate four (4) times. I have had two separate dealerships look at this problem for a total of four times and I was told that there was a technical service bulletin on this problem and the dealership preformed the fix action that was recommended from Chrysler. The trunk has opened again while on the interstate twice more and the dealership just disabled the interior trunk release (button) and the exterior button. So now I can only open the trunk using the FOB. 5)At 13,000 miles I started having warning indications from the digital dash board stating that I have lost ABS and Traction control along with ACC/FCW warnings and 6) the car would show a certain speed when using the cruise control but would actually be going much faster (later witnessed by the 2nd dealership's Master Mechanic). I called my local dealership where I purchased the car and they were clueless so I contact Chrysler directly and they told me to take it immediately into a dealership to troubleshoot. I took it to a different dealership and had to make 2 visits and then 3 weeks working on my car with the manufacture to troubleshoot the problem. They thought that it was a broken wire or a mouse chewed into the 7 miles of wire in the wiring harness. I was told after they had troushot it that there was some type of kit that Chrysler had made to rewire the electronics of the car in the trunk (due to stray current bleedover from other wires) and this was the third car in the entire fleet that this has happened to. The navigation system is out of date and does not show roads and speed limits correctly (still an issue). Now I see that there are even more issues with the car having two TBS and two recalls on the car; Engine And Engine Cooling Service Bulletin 320382, Visibility Service Bulletin 332439, Service Brakes/Air Recall 12V197000 Recall ID # 91560 and Electrical System Recall 12V197000 Recall ID # 91561. I have sent Chrysler a letter of intent for using the lemon law for the state of WV and it?s been 4 weeks and no response. I called Mike at Chrysler tier 2, ph #855-525-5085 ext 4720254. Where he authorized 5 days out of the three weeks for a rental car while the dealership was working on my car. I listed everything that was wrong with the car and the multiple problems and still nothing. I even call Mike a month later to have a supervisor to speak to me and he would not do it. NOW I have even more issues with the collision detection system (sensor) failing along with the ABS/ESC which are huge safety issues that need fixed immediately. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere when buying a car. This was the first Chrysler I have ever purchased and will NOT make that mistake ever again."

"The car is everything we wanted except we couldn't find it with ALL WHEEL DRIVE, so bought this 2011. The radio sound isn't the quality it should be, and the computor/Nav System seams to like disconnecting our cell phones."

"Purchased a White 2011 300C AWD Hemi V8 this month. The value for the price is amazing! This car has every possible option and creature comfort one can imagine including premium options such as adaptive cruise control, napa leather seats, all wheel drive, navagation, and way too many more to list here. The ride is extremely quite and stable. Handling is tight and positive and the look is awesome. Cannot get over the solid feel when driving this car. Looked at BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and Lincoln. The Chrysler 300C offers most every feature of these premium cars, but for $20-25K less! Very pleased with this purchase so far. It certainly appears that Chrysler got it right with the 2011 300C! Only 200 miles on the odometer just now. Will update again after we gain more driving exprience and put some additional miles on the car."

"Test drove the 300c AWD locally and thought it was exactly what I wanted. As my local dealer would not meet my price I went to the neighboring state and found my car. titanium exterior black leather interior. The car is exactly as advertised, plenty of power lots of comfort and all the gadgets I wanted. Talk about passing power."

"The 300C AWD 2011 is equiped with most of the features I wanted - adjustable seats that are heated and cooled, lumbar for driver and passenger, automatic lights, cruse control, auto high beam adjuster, nav system wih easy settings. It has satellight radio, ipod connection a good sound system and blue tooth tec. I added the safety package and am happy with its warning and backup features. My experience has been great driving and fun to be the driver. Recommend highly."

"The vehicle feels and performs like a Bentley. Couldn't be happier. The new body style is slightly different than the last 300C model, but the changes are very elegant and well styled."

"Love the look, ride, and the new GPS. Not to mentoin the AWD is great also. I had an older version but the changes were needed. The new safety percs are awesome especially the rear view camera, and BLIS. Heated and cooled seats and cup holders are also great."

"We traded in our 2006 300 Limited in 2008 for a 2008 Tahoe and now have traded in our Tahoe for our 2011 Chrysler 300C. We absolutely loved everything about our 2006 300 but the 2011 300C is even better yet. The Safety Tec package makes us feel safe in our luxury ride. The Tungsten exterior and black interior with 20" wheels turns heads everywhere we go. Having had 4 Cadillacs previously we test drove a 2011 Cadillac CTS but the 300C was roomier, better riding and in our opinion had a better look and we saved $5,000 compaing similiaily equipped cars. Our 300C looks great in the driveway, on the highway and on the beaches of south Texas. Can't wait for our next road trip back to Minnesota next spring. We made 3 round trips from Minnesota to Texas in 2007 in our 2006 300 as we looked for our retirement home and the rides were wonderful, we can only imagine how comfortable our next round trip from Texas to Minnesota will be in our new 300C."

"It seemed like a lifetime waiting for the arrival of the brand new 300 we ordered, but it was well worth the wait. Quality and reliability were the two most crucial factors in selecting the Chrysler 300. We test drove several but decided to order one in a limited edition color and panoramic roof. There is not a single thing we would change about the new 300. There are few large cars of its caliber and price to choose from, yet it rides, handles and exudes the luxury of a far costlier sedan going for double its price with every amenity not even fond in those more expensive cars... like heated steering wheel and both front and rear heated seats. We are also pleased with the impressive gas mileage of high 20s. This is the best car we have ever driven!"

"the mighty hemi v8 lives in in rwd form in a far classier package. my new 2011 300C is roomy, more spacious, better riding and handling, far more elegant and superior in every way over past large chrysler 300's and all new cars from gm, ford and other makes worldwide. i traded in a 2009 300C and for '11, the improvements make it an entirely grander car than ever before. it is smooth, free from road noice and any interior rattles... the 2011 is stunning from every angle and has the most uptown interior in memory. it is one used to expect from large cadillacs, lincolns, chryslers and imperials of the pre-1980's era, only better inside and out and with great gas mileage, reaching near 30's MPG. i love the real leather and wood and other first rate materials, paint and interior and exterior finishes. the list of standard features is refreshing. only a handful of options, like all-wheel drive, bentley grille and panorama sunroof. everything works perfectly with the new 300C. i am very pleased. it is the safest vehicle i can afford and what a lot of car for the money. the best deal here in america and canada. i travel between the u.s. and canada daily and it never fails - the kudos from both counties and at each border."
