Years to avoid, with the reasons →Best on the record 2023

On the filed record so far, the 2023 is the cleanest 300 year we hold, and the 2018 the one to check hardest.

Both figures are divided by the number of years the car has been on sale, because otherwise the oldest year on the page loses every time simply for having been around longer. The current model year and any year under three on the road are left out: their records are not finished.

What Chrysler 300 years should I avoid?

2018 has the weakest recall record in this range. The year pages list every campaign, its severity and whether a repair exists yet. Every 300 model year ranked, with the reasons.
