2018 Chrysler 300 problems
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size car manufactured and marketed by Stellantis North America and its predecessor companies as a four-door sedan and station wagon in its first generation (model years 2005–2010) and solely as a four-door sedan in its second generation (model years 2011–2023).
The second generation 300 was marketed as the Chrysler 300C in the United Kingdom and Ireland and as the Lancia Thema in the remainder of Europe.
Background
The Chrysler 300 continues a tradition of large front engine, rear-wheel drive V8-powered luxury sedans the company has offered, starting in the 1940s with the Chrysler Saratoga and Chrysler New Yorker, followed by the Chrysler Windsor, Chrysler Newport and the Chrysler Cordoba, with the last rear wheel drive sedan, the Chrysler Fifth Avenue that ended production in 1989.
When the company began operations in 1925, the Chrysler Six was entered as a roadster in the 1925 24 Hours of Le Mans where it finished the race, and in 1926, the Chrysler Imperial started the tradition of luxury and performance products. Starting in 1955, the Imperial became its own luxury brand and offered the Imperial Newport along with the Imperial Crown. The original Chrysler FirePower Hemi engine powered the Cunningham C-5R, a special racecar, and finished the 1952 Le Mans, 1953 Le Mans, and 1954 Le Mans endurance races, as well as the 1953 12 Hours of Sebring.

- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Our Chrysler 300 (2018) has the delamination issue reported numerous times on the Chrysler forum. Our car only has 35,000 miles on it. The delamination issue is definitely a safety issue. The radio station keeps rapidly changing making it useless. The safety part of the issue is that the heat/cool also stops working in the car and switches rapidly from one to the other. The Nav option doesn't work because the screen keeps changing. We talked to a few different repair places and they said they have seen this numerous times with the Chrysler 300. Chrysler needs to fix this.

I have never experienced a radio malfunction in any of my previous new cars, let alone within two years of paying it off. Additionally, the cost of replacement is an exorbitant $2,000. Furthermore, the window trim has buckled, which is unacceptable for a car of this caliber. This is a clear indication of poor quality control on the part of Chrysler.

This is a good car, but it does have some flaws. Unfortunately, I have experienced a squeezing rattle from the rear and a hollow rattle in the dash. Additionally, the transmission has a bit of a shutter when shifting and the gas mileage is not great. It's worth noting that I did experience a significant loss in value when I drove it off the lot, so I would recommend considering buying used instead of new.

Hey there! I just wanted to give you a heads up that one of my tie rods broke in half. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a hassle to get the warranty to cover it.

We recently purchased this car, but unfortunately, after only 6 months, we needed to make some changes and decided to trade it in. We were surprised to find out that the car was only worth $20,000 on trade-in, despite having all available options and only 4,500 miles on it. We would caution others against buying this vehicle if they plan on trading it in within a couple of years. It's important to make sure your insurance coverage includes total replacement cost. Fortunately, we paid cash for the car, otherwise, we would have been buried in debt for the entire loan period. We hope that Chrysler corporation will improve the value of their cars in the future.
