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.

Common 2007 Chrysler 300c problems

The 2007 Chrysler 300C has been reported to have several common problems, primarily related to the engine, transmission, and suspension.

Power Window Malfunction: One or more of the power windows becoming inoperative can be caused by a faulty window motor or a worn cable in the window regulator. Removing the interior door panels and installing a new window motor is recommended for this issue.

Rear Brake Squeal: A loud squealing sound when applying the brakes in colder weather can be caused by warped brake discs. Replacing the brake discs with new ones is recommended, along with checking the brake pads and replacing them if necessary.

Reverse Camera Not Working: A completely black screen for the reverse camera can be caused by a worn camera. Checking the camera for dirt or debris and reconnecting any loose wiring is recommended before replacing the camera.

Rear End Knocking: A knocking sound coming from the rear of the car can be caused by a lack of lubrication on the ends of the drive shafts from the differential to the rear wheels. Applying lubrication to those ends is recommended as the first solution. If the knocking sound persists, then it is likely that the rear shock absorbers have started to leak, and replacements can be ordered for quick delivery from BreakerYard.
