Which Chrysler 300C years should you avoid?
No Chrysler 300C model year stands out from the others in NHTSA owner complaints. The typical Chrysler 300C year has 14 complaints on file.
What are the best Chrysler 300C years?
The Chrysler 300C years with the fewest complaints on file are the 2010 (10), 2014 (11) and 2015 (12). Model years after 2023 are left out: they have not been on the road long enough to compare.
NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
