"At 500 miles the power steering went out while parking in the garage and it wouldn't start. They said it was a loose battery cable. At 1500 miles the power steering went out while going down the road at 70. Good thing I grew up on a farm and know how to steer big heavy vehicles without power steering. They had the car a week and replaced the power steering module (pump?). At 2500 miles the power steeering went out at Lowe's and I had to drive it across town but it was worth it to pull into the service bay and leave it running with no power steering and all the idiot lights on. And when they turned it off it wouldn't start. That reminds me that there is no voltage guage on this car so no way to tell if it is charging or discharging. Now they say they have the problem fixed by replacing an electric connection. The next day it would not start because they forgot to charge the battery after the work was done. And the tires were low and the car filthy from them leaving it outside. Not once have they washed it after their service. If this problem happens one more time I will be filing a lemon law claim. My other gripes are with the keyless ignition and keyless locks as the fob does not transmit very quickly or very far. The gas mileage is exactly 25 on the highway as promised but in town or against the wind it is in the mid teens. I wish the car had better aerodynamics and a windy day makes it hard to drive even with it's size and weight. The pros are the firm yet supple ride and interior quietness even with the 20's and I'm glad I got them so it would come with the touring suspension instead of the comfort one. The touchscreen, GPS, and standard stereo are fine but I wish I had the Beats. The panoramic sunroof is not worth the money as far as I think but it looks cool. I bought this car because it's the largest and heaviest which I need for a 400 mile commute. Because of the $8,000 discount I took the hemi and 5 speed but wish I would have waited for the 2013 model with the 3.6 and 8 speed. Maybe I'll get one soon if this one is bought back with the lemon law!"

"The Chrysler 300C has the interior luxury you would expect with a very comfortable ride, and the muscle power of a hemi to give you the exceleration you need. The AWD 300C handles extremely well in all kinds of situations you might find yourself while driving. The safety features like blind spot recognition, back up camera, and the many air bags gives you the confidence to know you are driving a great vehicle. The adaptive cruise control is a great feature to have when traveling along the highway. Using this feature on a long road trip makes the trip more enjoyable. You can select your speed and 3 distance setting, with this featuretThe car practically drives itself by keeping a safe speed and selected distance from the car in front."

"Sold my Lexus LS for this car. Handling and ride is better, Harmon Kardon Sound system blows away the Levinson. Seats are more comfortable especially the ventilation. Performance is simply awesome!. I also had a BMW 540 sport and this car is better than that too. I can't see why anyone would spend 40 grand more for a LS460 or BMW 550."

"Over the past 18 months, the family has purchased an all new 2011 Hemi V8 Dodge Durango (my work vehicle), '11 Hemi V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Sumit (my wife's SUV) and just three weeks ago, a bright silver 2012 Chrysler 300C AWD (our family sedan) with a standard Hemi V8, black leather interior and real wood trim. The 2012 Chrysler 300C has a very smooth, quiet ride. Handling is remarkable for such a large ulta luxurious sedan. The All-Wheel-Drive system is as good as that of our Jeep and Durango SUVs and the Range Rover we traded in from the Chrysler. Fit, finish, quality and reliability are the best I have experienced after years of driving German vehicles, two Range Rovers and a couple of British Saloons and the slew of '12 cars we test drove recently. For just above $40,000, you get a wealth of features found in cars costing double or more, including: dual pane panorama sunroof, heated steering wheel, dual climiate contols, temperature regulated cup holders and heated front and rear seats, with cooling feature for each occupant. The navigation, entertainment and information center controls are Mercedes-like, yet even easier to manipulate while keeping your eyes on the road. The voice activation works like a charm. Chrysler's "navi" and "info-tainment" screen (as coined by the auto industry) is the largest of any car I am aware of and much easier to operate than Ford Motor Company's "MY-FORD" system. An ace in the hole for Chrysler-Jeep, Dodge-Ram and Fiat. Everything is simple to use and easy to lean. Thus, no compaints whatsoever! Same is true for our new Dodge Durango and JGC, as well."
