One of the things you want to do is have a good, knowledgeable, certified mechanic to check your car. I see too much DIY guessing online when it comes to car owners and throwing parts at problems. I wish I still had the paperwork from years ago of having this resolved on my 2005 Chrysler, but it was not the strut mounts nor struts themselves. It was another hardware component in the lower front-end suspension. Also, when you take it to a knowledgeable Certified mechanic to check the front end. Don't make suggestions to the mechanic as to what you think it is. Just let them thoroughly check it.
I have the Chrysler 300 C 2007. I have owned mine for almost 7 years and bought it used. I have had to replace ALL my door handles bc they just don't hold well (also have 3 rough boys). In this last year though I have had to replace my water pump, radiator, some sensors, and the black plastic pieces under the front end you showed. That side you say you have the gap is where my bumper refuses to stay in place. Great car though. I fell asleep at the wheel on the highway and hit a concrete median and it held solid with just a popped tire and a paint chip. Love the video.
I have a 08 with 120k so far the issues I’ve had is the front control arms and tie rods. Routine engine maintenance, misfires changed spark plugs. Now i have to do coils and maybe injectors. Other than that can is a tank
Good vid bro, some things to look out for, those halos are friggin badass, I need some asap, Probably already sorted but that front right bumper has one bolt right on the end, undo that and realign then tighten, mine was the same coz the tab the bolt goes through was bent, Awesome car bro 300GANG💪
Good information!!! Questions I’ve been hearing a sloshing sound coming from the dashboard. It happens when I first turn the vehicle in the morning or when I’ve been driving for an Hr and I turn off vehicle I hear sloshing sound coming from the dashboard.

As for suspension, if you want it to last, absolutely replace all bushings with polyurethane bushings. I've never had an issue since. Don't know if this is common, but the ignition switch goes bad on keyless entry where you go to start and nothing till you keep trying till it does connect and start. Recall on the passenger air bag system also. Can cause death if not fixed.
TWICE MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE SHIT OUT!! I've got something going on with my transmission right now, too. It could be a sensor, a seal, or whatever. I don't know. Haven't had time to put it in the shop.
Recently replaced the ignition switch. Turns out if someone turns the key 🔑 TOO HARD it will break the pot metal switch inside the ignition switch that turns the switch on the end of it. (Ignition, start, accessory switch.) Sometimes the broken pot metal can interfere with the locking mechanism and keyless entry if severely damaged.

If it's leaking inside your car on the floor it'll probably be your heater core or heater core hose. That's usually what it is if it's leaking inside on your floor.

The 2.7 liter engine after so many miles or what have you , it tends to tick and rattle , I just got an 06 from a guy and I found it to have this tick and rattle , now I've had a couple others but the one I had before this one did the same tick and rattle sound like rocker arms and lifters , I don't know how the guy ran the car , but an issue I'm having whit it , second time different car , but same year model of car
Yes I said it I’m sorry for blowin up your comment section but if your car was previously owned by a little old gray haired lady well congratulations 🎉for the body but I’d be very careful not to overheat it too many times but cars with previous owners who got into the petal within reason and didn’t try to burn their tires at every stop light or parking lot and the car is still running strong you got a good one my 05 still running like a champ 200k later I believe first owner bought it new gave it to his son and it proved to be too much car and I would be the 3rd owner with the first things I noticed and changed asap was valve cover gaskets, water pump , plugs , alternator, egr valve , &….suspension ohhhh yeah fuel pump
6 freaking min before you start on the list. Bro just get straight to the point. Great points once you finally got started. Have had to change the door handles for every door.
I bought mine in 2016 (2007 Limited 3.5L no Hemi), and since then, the transmission is the big one. They just didn't build it to support the size of the car, I guess. 2 to 3 thousand something dollars. Other than that, you just gotta be one of those guys to kind of baby these cars if u want it to be sturdy & reliable, and it will be. Little things will break no matter what, but the other major things for me to include, along with the tranny, like... engine parts (note its poorly designed engine rocker arms), timing belt, and front-end suspension should honestly run you a little under a thousand every year for any of these kind of cars. Those 4 things I mentioned are very common problems (or just weird maintenance, in the timing belt's case) for the 1st generation Chrysler 300's. I've had mine for 7 years, so the less than $7,000 I've personally spent on mine, had included routine maintenance plus radiator replacement, a new starter motor, broken alternator, etc. He's right when he says these are reliable and dependable, but that's if you treat it gently and maintain it right: Which is not everybody's thing. I love this model and I love babying a favorite car, so it's my thing. Most people's thing is treat it bad and it will still treat you good, like an old Toyota or Honda. I've had an old Toyota Camry and and a Honda Accord. Yes, they were a bit more dependable than the 300 I now adore, but not impressively so. ⚜️
How can u blow up a engine in a Chrysler????? I flow it everyday and my shit has 197k miles with a good oil change I feel like no one check there oil and shit and just start and go
A lot of those valve seat issues sorted themselves out right out of the factory to little old grandma and grandpa’s who did not know what they had under the hood because it’s now known that if your engine doesn’t get go at least 12-14k rpm’s it’s not getting adequate oil protection that’s why a lot of police cars failed prematurely with the 5.7 because police will for who fkn knows why let their car sit for thousands of hours at idle
Yup you're 100% correct, I had to drive over 4 hours to find mine when I bought it, there's where other ones closer to me but all were abused and not in great shape.
Very decent vehicle, but this issues are true. If you’re handy & know how to replace parts yourself it’s ok otherwise it’ll be costly at the shop. Other than that I loved this car.
Yo the coolant problem might be your water pump bearing mine just went recently for the 5.7 l engine try opening the hood with the car running and see if any of your pulleys are wobbling 🫡
I use 180 degree thermostat with Diablo tune with fans adjusted. Cruising highway I stay at 185 and off highway I stay under 190. Definitely a good combination. I have 2007 300c 5.7 with 170k. I changed

im literally about to buy a 2006 srt8 300 as my first car hes shown mechanic work of him replacing damn near everything battery oil etc
The 2.7 liter engine after so many miles or what have you , it tends to tick and rattle , I just got an 06 from a guy and I found it to have this tick and rattle , now I've had a couple others but the one I had before this one did the same tick and rattle sound like rocker arms and lifters , I don't know how the guy ran the car , but an issue I'm having whit it , second time different car , but same year model of car
Sodak Gang, east river!
not gonna lie, just bought a 05 300 and when i was test driving it and bringing it home i jus kept saying i couldn’t hear the front end noise 😂
Haha very good🤣🤣
Yes I said it I’m sorry for blowin up your comment section but if your car was previously owned by a little old gray haired lady well congratulations 🎉for the body but I’d be very careful not to overheat it too many times but cars with previous owners who got into the petal within reason and didn’t try to burn their tires at every stop light or parking lot and the car is still running strong you got a good one my 05 still running like a champ 200k later I believe first owner bought it new gave it to his son and it proved to be too much car and I would be the 3rd owner with the first things I noticed and changed asap was valve cover gaskets, water pump , plugs , alternator, egr valve , &….suspension ohhhh yeah fuel pump
6 freaking min before you start on the list. Bro just get straight to the point. Great points once you finally got started. Have had to change the door handles for every door.
What’s the cost of ownership for these the same year as yours. How much money should I expect to spend a year on maintenance and repairs etc?
I bought mine in 2016 (2007 Limited 3.5L no Hemi), and since then, the transmission is the big one.
They just didn't build it to support the size of the car, I guess. 2 to 3 thousand something dollars.
Other than that, you just gotta be one of those guys to kind of baby these cars if u want it to be sturdy & reliable, and it will be.
Little things will break no matter what, but the other major things for me to include, along with the tranny, like...
engine parts (note its poorly designed engine rocker arms), timing belt, and front-end suspension
should honestly run you a little under a thousand every year for any of these kind of cars.
Those 4 things I mentioned are very common problems (or just weird maintenance, in the timing belt's case) for the 1st generation Chrysler 300's.
I've had mine for 7 years, so the less than $7,000 I've personally spent on mine, had included routine maintenance plus radiator replacement, a new starter motor, broken alternator, etc.
He's right when he says these are reliable and dependable, but that's if you treat it gently and maintain it right: Which is not everybody's thing.
I love this model and I love babying a favorite car, so it's my thing. Most people's thing is treat it bad and it will still treat you good, like an old Toyota or Honda.
I've had an old Toyota Camry and and a Honda Accord. Yes, they were a bit more dependable than the 300 I now adore, but not impressively so. ⚜️
@@bentonrp how many miles does it have on it now
@@1stunna91 It had 120K miles when I bought it, and now it has 190K.

How can u blow up a engine in a Chrysler????? I flow it everyday and my shit has 197k miles with a good oil change I feel like no one check there oil and shit and just start and go
Heater cole,if your floor is wet,on the passenger side.
A lot of those valve seat issues sorted themselves out right out of the factory to little old grandma and grandpa’s who did not know what they had under the hood because it’s now known that if your engine doesn’t get go at least 12-14k rpm’s it’s not getting adequate oil protection that’s why a lot of police cars failed prematurely with the 5.7 because police will for who fkn knows why let their car sit for thousands of hours at idle
How many miles was she in this video??
About 164k I think
These are great cars, but you to shop around to find one that hasn't been abused, most have.
Yup you're 100% correct, I had to drive over 4 hours to find mine when I bought it, there's where other ones closer to me but all were abused and not in great shape.
Video starts at 5:48
didnt even mention the MDS system. thats the killer of HEMIs
Dealing with this now. Changed solenoids car ran fine for a few days then back to misfiring
Very decent vehicle, but this issues are true. If you’re handy & know how to replace parts yourself it’s ok otherwise it’ll be costly at the shop. Other than that I loved this car.
Ummm uhh ummm ummm uhhhhh
The 200 is worse than this one
You talk too much about nothing, get to the got damn point
Yo the coolant problem might be your water pump bearing mine just went recently for the 5.7 l engine try opening the hood with the car running and see if any of your pulleys are wobbling 🫡
