1999 Chrysler 300M from North America - Comments

I have had my 1999 300M for almost a year now. Overall, it has been a reliable car. We have had only a handful of difficulties:

1. The shifter was very difficult to move into or out of gear. I suspected it could be a problem with the linkage but found out that this car has no external linkage. The problem was the shifter cable. I took the car into the dealer and they replaced the cable for just under $200, which completely fixed the problem.

2. My battery was continuously dying, leaving me stranded. We replaced the battery about 4 months ago and so far, so good.

3. The brake lights stay on even after the car has been turned off. We have not fixed this yet but my husband suspects it is the brake switch.

4. Occasionally the interior lights flicker while driving down the road.

I am surprised at the number of reviews I have read that reflect positively on the comfort level of the car for tall people. I am 5'8 and my husband is 6'2 - neither of us find riding in the passenger seat a very comfortable experience because there is not room enough to stretch out our legs.
