2007 Chrysler 300 Review: A Very Unreliable Year For The Large Luxurious American Sedan

Alex Showalter
Jul 12, 2022

The 2007 Chrysler 300 lasts around 150,000 miles with a lot of engine and transmission problems. At $4,721 to $7,899 it’s cheap, but not worth it for a car that may leave you stranded.

likeFilled The Good
Exterior styling stands out from the pack, the SRT-8 model is very fast and the cabin is roomier than  its rivals.
dislikeFilled The Bad
The base V6 engine is weak for the car’s size, fuel efficiency is worse than rivals and ownership costs are high.

Is the 2007 Chrysler 300 a Good Used Car?

  • No, 2007 is a bad year for the Chrysler 300. Owner reviews complain about mechanical problems, laggy engines, and poor build quality.
  • Interior materials are luxurious given the price with a nice mix of high-    quality leather and wood available on the higher-end models.
  • Reliability ratings are below average. We recommend avoiding models from 20052008 and going with a 2009 or newer.
  • Performance is average from the V6, but the largest V8 offers outstanding power.
  • The Chrysler 300 is reasonably safe, getting 4 out of 5 stars in government crash tests.
  • Fuel economy is poor at up to 18 MPG combined.

The smooth drive of the vehicle and how spacious the vehicle is.
I bought my car brand new and love everything about my car. I never have had any major issues with my car other than the basic stuff such as adding coolant and typical oil change. I use my car to drive to the store and run errands. My vehicle is in great condition. It is very spacious and drives smoothly. There is nothing I dislike about my car.

The heated seats are so great in winter time.
The car is very room and very comfortable. I am short and I love the many adjustments it has. Especially the adjustment to move the gas pedal closer or farther away. The heated seats are a very nice feature especially on those winter days. The only complaint I have is the blind spot on the left off of windshield. Other than that I have no complaints. I love my car.

Excellent performance with a comfortable ride!
I really appreciate the comfort and ease of driving my car! It has good pick up speed when necessary. It gives a smooth comfortable ride. The miles per gallon of gas is horrible 12 miles to the gallon in city driving. I have owned this car since 2010 and have had no major repairs. This car sits about 2 inches too low. When parking in a parking lot I have to be very careful not to park too far forward as the. Under covering gets caught on the parking curb and is torn off.

Horrible car!!!
The only things i like about it are the sunroof, 6 disc cd changer/stereo, and remote start. I have had nothing but problems with this car. I have replaced the front end on this car and it STILL makes a rattling sound when i drive but yet my mechanics cant find anything wrong with it. It also makes a squeaky noise from the dash and a whiny noise as well thats annoying as hell. I miss my chevy!!!

It's not the best but it can get you around, as long as you are willing to buy the gas
I do not like the size; it is rather too big for me. It seems to develop one little fault after another. It also lacks some useful accessories
accountCircle Kiki P
The gas mileage is not great.
It goes fast easily, I have a lot of power in it. But it lags like a diesel would. I have had engine lights come on because the gas cap is not screwed tightly enough, so check for that before you take it in when your engine light appears. Bad on gas, I get about 15-16 mpg. I only hate it because it is old though, generally a good car.

The Chrysler 300 is great for reliability and travel friendly!

Riding my 300. No problems from the vehicle. Daily maintenance.
The oil has to be a specific kind. Cost me over $100 but it does last 7 months and not 3 months. I haven't had any issues because I did just get the vehicle. Have to make sure the gas cap is tight all the way or you will get a message. Tire pressure must be accurate anything not right the car will let you know.
accountCircle Dana B
Owning a Chrysler 300, my car is paid off and continuing to have issues.
The over-all review of my car is not terrible but I do have some complaints. The interior such as the leather is beginning to look bad. My car is kept outside, not in a garage so it is exposed to the sun more than other cars may be. Also some of the outdoor panels have popped out. Such as the chrome trim on the bumper area. Another interior issue I have is with the CD player. Certain CDs do not work. CDs such as burnt CDs or CDs that have even small scratches on them will not work. The transmission also feels like it slips or is misfiring. I have had to get recently a number of fixes done. Some of the recent fixes we have had to do is the water pump, which was the most expensive and the most labor to do. Also I had a battery that went bad, and since the battery is kept in the trunk the warning system alerted myself while driving. The warning system consists of a sulfur smell given off by the battery acid that alerts you your battery is bad. Also the struts as well as the ball joints are other fixes we have had to get in order for the car to be driving soundly. The ball joints went bad in the front of the car. This is a repair that must be done because it is something that causes the car to be loud and squeaky, as well as giving the possibility of ruining your axle. Another repair that has not been fixed yet is the trunk door. The air pressure in the shocks that holds the trunk open is faulty and will not stay open unless it is being held up or propped open.

What Do Critics Say About the Chrysler 300?

  • Consumer Reports says the Chrysler 300 doesn’t stand out in testing, and has low owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds gives the Chrysler 300 a 4.5/5 liking the exterior styling, but disliking the weak V6 engines.
  • Kelley Blue Book users rate the 2007 Chrysler 300 with 4.6/5, liking the strong V8 engines, but disliking the high ownership costs.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chrysler 300 Have?

Common problems found on the 2007 Chrysler 300 include shifter linkage issues, a sudden loss of power, and a broken fan assembly.

Shifter linkage issues are the most common complaint from owners at around 90,000 miles. The direct linkage breaks with a lot of use, and the only solution is to replace the shifter, costing about $550.

A sudden loss of power shows up on a lot of cars at around 100,000 miles. The computer system is the most frequent source of the problem, and costs about $1,200 to replace when it fails.

Broken cooling fan assemblies are another issue at around 120,000 miles. The main cooling fan breaks and often damages the radiator. Replacing the radiator and fan assembly is about $1,100.

There are 5 recalls, with the most serious being for the ABS control module which can cause the brakes to fail, increasing the risk of an accident.

How Long Will the 2007 Chrysler 300 Last?

A well-maintained 2007 Chrysler 300 should last around 150,000 miles, which is half as long as top-rated competitors like the Toyota Avalon. Regular annual maintenance costs are high for a sedan, according to Repair Pal, at $407 per year.

Most 2007 Chrysler 300s will have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should be prepared to replace items including the A/C evaporator for $1,200, engine front cover gasket costing $700, and the heater hose which costs $450.

The car is reliable, it has lasted in relatively good condition until now. But some issues include the lack of weight in the back of the car that causes it to have trouble in certain weather conditions.

It is not reliable at all. It can break out in a moment's whim. It has a recall on the airbags and always has a different problem.

accountCircle Randall C

My car is definitely reliable, even at 250,000 miles. The only problem I'm having with my car is probably it's starting to burn a lot of gas and oil.

accountCircle Makoto Y

Yes I feel that although it's a 2007 model, it is a reliable car. I have not had any issues questioning its reliability.

How Much Is the 2007 Chrysler 300 Worth?

Blue book values range from $4,721 to $7,899, making the Chrysler 300 about $1,000 more than a Ford Crown Victoria or Chevy Impala. When new, the price range was $24,445 to $40,545. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 15% of its current value per year.

What Colors Does the Chrysler 300 Come In?

How Big Is the Chrysler 300?

The 2007 Chrysler 300 is an average full-size sedan similar in size to the Buick Lucerne and Nissan Maxima. Passenger room is very good throughout the cabin with plenty of legroom for adults in the backseats.

Cargo space is a bit lower than average for a large sedan, with only 15.6 cubic feet of room in the trunk, which is enough for 3-4 suitcases.

VehicleHistory Image

How Does the Chrysler 300 Compare to the Competition?

The Dodge Magnum is a popular rival, which costs about $500 more. Passenger room and cargo space are better in the Magnum, but the Chrysler 300 has a nicer interior. We recommend neither for 2007, since they both share a lot of the same mechanical problems.

The Toyota Avalon is another competitor costing about $2,000 more. Technology and reliability are better in the Avalon, but the Chrysler 300 has substantially more power. We recommend the Avalon, since they last longer and are more affordable to own long term.

It impresses both myself and others!
I really do love this car. It's over a decade old (2007) but feels and looks brand new, sleek, luxurious, sophisticated, and comfortable, inside and out. It's a great size; not a tiny car with no room but not huge like an SUV. There's plenty of room in the front and back seats, and the trunk is spacious. The back seats fold down to create more trunk room as well. The interior is leather, but it's solid and comfortable; it doesn't get too hot and doesn't tear as easily as the seats of my previous vehicles did. There are also heated seats up front! It is very easy to drive. The pedals aren't touchy, but they don't take a lot of effort to get the car going or stopping. The steering wheel isn't difficult to turn either (which was an issue for me in my previous car). Heat and air in the vehicle are great and adjustable as well. Side mirrors can be adjusted with a button. Plenty of convenient features. It has pretty decent gas mileage for such a chunky car as well! I drive A LOT, and this car has been a blessing for me. The only downside: it is rear wheel drive. So it is TERRIBLE in the snow and ice. It slides, it gets stuck, the brakes lock up, etc. So I recommend that if you plan on driving this in the snow, give yourself PLENTY of time to get where you need to go and keep an emergency kit in your car, including a scraper, floor mats, etc. I made it through my first Indiana winter with it, but I dread the next one! However, it's such a great car that I can't get rid of it just because of this!

The versatility and great looks
Yes most definitely recommend if you want luxury for a fraction of the price and an American made vehicle. Stay on top of the maintenance of these older models. On the 2007 300C the heated leather and sporty looks of a car with tons of room and adjustments incl. Lumbar and steering wheel are fantastic.! There are some blind spots you need to adjust for, meaning USE your mirrors! If you have both sides and center mirrors correctly adjusted you will be fine. This tall sedan model would be just the thing for those extremely big and tall men or women. And it's fast! Keep proper tires on it and keep an eye on suspension items you should be very pleased how well this car handles especially providing comfort on long rides with all the temperature and sound inside you may need. The sunroof is great because of the variable adjustments without the worry of having to 'redo' your hair.

Chrysler 300 year 2007. Review of the car after more than 10 years driving it.
Problems: the inside latch for the trunk is loose so the trunk opens while driving at times. The container that holds the coolant cracked multiple times and had to be replaced. The engine feels like its losing power when pressing on the gas. The doors are heavy to open. The horn is awkwardly placed, when you turn the wheel most of the time I press the wrong area when I want to use the horn. The cup holders are small. The air-condition vents are to weak in the back. The car is too low, it scrapes when you hit the speed bumps or dips at times. Speakers on the doors broke some time ago. Pros: the chair is comfortable. The battery lasted for 10 years before it needed to be replaced. Being able to use 89 octane really helps with the gas bills. Lots of legroom for the front passengers.

Affordable and Reliable family car
Bought new, have owned for 12 yrs now, currently at 150K miles. This was my first 'adult' car. I bought this car because I wanted something that would last, would be safe for any future family I would have, and that was still affordable. Only 1 major mechanical issue in those 12 hrs. There's a quarter size plastic piece that is known to break in the gear shift, this will cause the gear shift to get stuck, usually in park. This was covered by Chrysler/Dodge on some models but not this one. Quotes to fix were between $500-$900. My dad and I fixed it for less than $20 in an hours time. Regular maintenance keeps this car on the roads. This car has held up very well and I expect it can last another 3-5 yrs. Roomy interior, we've taken 16+ hour road trips in it a few times. I've used it to haul small furniture pieces to landscape pavers. I'm so pleased with this car, if/when we purchase a new car, this make/model will be at the top of the list!

For a four door vehicle, the car has a lot of room within it; this means if you're spending a good amount of time traveling, leg room shouldn't be an issue.

My 2007 Chrysler 300 is a great reliable car. Since having the car I've had to take it in about 2-3 times for problems. The problem mainly is in the tires because they are quite large for the car with 22' rims. So that's a problem I created not a problem the car generally possessed.

Reliable large durable car
I like the comfort of the vehicle however it is a bit large for me. I like how it looks and how it handles on the roadways. I have been able to enjoy it being a reliable and enjoyable ride. It is very durable and even when I park in areas where I used to get shopping cart dings in my old car, I barely get a scratch in this one.

Front of car has a grill that stands out.
It is terrible on snow..It fishtails when you brake on ice..It is a beautiful car inside and out with beautiful leather seats very comfortable large trunk it kind of looks like a bentley.It has a large back seat which is very comfortable. The battery is also in the trunk next to the spare tire. Great sound system with a CD player and 4 speakers.

It is easy to drive. There is lots of room for you and your passengers
It has the room for passengers I want. It is easy to find what need to operate. I love the curse control

It take me from point A to point B, so grateful that it still goes.
It needs wiper, and the inside is a little wore, the paint on the outside is faded. And it's a big car and I am not a big woman so it's a little hard to drive and use a pillow. I am a disabled veteran so really can afford a car so I make the best of my old big car.

Very reliable nice looking and roomy for a car
Overall a nice vehicle had the car for 5 years now been my daily driver haven't had major problems with it other than little things like ball joints and struts, tires, battery and starter. Very reliable and nice looking. Very roomy for a car. I would definitely recommend

I like the look of the car. It has a nice design and the color is easy on the eyes. Unfortunately, the air conditioning no longer works. Aside from that, I suppose I can't really complain.
It is a smooth ride and gets the job done going from place to place.

Riding my 300. No problems from the vehicle. Daily maintenance.
The oil has to be a specific kind. Cost me over $100 but it does last 7 months and not 3 months. I haven't had any issues because I did just get the vehicle. Have to make sure the gas cap is tight all the way or you will get a message. Tire pressure must be accurate anything not right the car will let you know.

The Chrysler 300 is great for reliability and travel friendly!
It has been a great car although I am currently looking for something bigger with my growing family. I have had this car for 5 years now. It is reliable and family friendly. I have traveled in it several times over the years all over the states and it has been reliable through it all.

300 customize it to your liking.
The Chrysler 300 is very reliable it is important to do service at the correct mileage recommended. It is very spacious, great as a family car. There is a ton of options out there to customize it to your liking. The one thing that can be annoying is it is big, it is like driving a boat so parking can be an issue. Other than that it is a great all weather vehicle.
