Faults:

I bought an extended warranty, so luckily I haven't had to pay for any of the repairs.

I have this really bad thunking noise in the front end when going over bumps or taking a corner quickly. I believe it to be ball joints, but the dealer is giving me the runaround.

I have also had a lower control arm replaced, but the clunking sound continues.

General Comments:

The driveline of the car is reliable. The 3.5l V6 has plenty of power, and the transmission is smooth enough I guess.

The handling has began to suffer lately, probably because of the front suspension issues.

I just took a trip to Ft. Myers Florida from Cincy Ohio, and it averaged about 24 miles to the gallon with 5 people and luggage. It performed well, but the front suspension was at the back of my mind the whole time, since I did witness the same kind of car 2 weeks earlier that the front wheels completely fell out from under it.

The interior is comfortable, and it is not gloomy at all. I love the analog clock and the autostick.

It was my first time owning a Chrysler, and I would be impressed if the 5 Star Disservice dept would fix my car.

For some reason before the trip, I was averaging a little over 14 miles per gallon in the city, and it's not like I floor it every chance I get.

I guess I would love the car and keep it forever if it was in good mechanical shape.

Faults:

The alignment went wrong, but do to me human error. I live in NewYork lots of pot holes LoL.. But on a down note I would have to say that the handling could be a lot sharper than it is..

General Comments:

The 300m 2003 has Vey good acceleration. The interior is exotic. With Plush nice leather seats.. And the Back Seats or almost bigger than my living room as to say very comfortable rear seat. But Also on extended trips the seats can get a little bit uncomfortable.. And the only thing is really the handling Kinda lacking...

Faults:

The harmonic balancer went out (Cost - $700.00) Dealer replaced it and everything works well.

Air conditioning sometimes does not blow cool air (even when coolant level is correct) no action taken as yet.

Overall, it is a pure joy to own and drive!! What a performer!!

General Comments:

This vehicle is quite a departure from the baseline 300M. The integration of the "off the shelf" Mitsubishi 3.5 Liter HO V6 is a great fit, and a formidable power-plant.

The acceleration and handling is better than most "sport sedans" in this class!

Faults:

- Moon roof maladjusted from factory & dealer unable to correct - wind noise.

- "ind noise - from both front doors.

- Molding on both front doors (edge of window trim) kept falling off.

- Hub cover rusted out and fell, dealer charging $45 to replace.

- Transmission not as firm shifting and slower when cold, even though recommended liquid & filter changed at 24000KM.

- Brakes had spongy pedal when traded @ 62500 KM.

General Comments:

Excellent car, handling very well with a good compromise between road feel and smoother ride - Like a snake on sandpaper.

Performance from the V6 is very surprising (top-end) and more than adequate for this type of vehicle (should have this engine option available in the Neon/PT Cruiser).

Large, roomy, spacious and very comfortable for 4 (large) adults.
