2022 Chrysler 300 problems: recalls, complaints and whether this is a year to avoid

Is 2022 a good year for the Chrysler 300?

The spread across this nameplate is wide: the 2014 draws 47 times the complaints of the 2022. On a run like that the model year you buy matters more than the badge, and 2022 sits near the bottom of it.

Older years have been on the road longer and collect more complaints for that reason alone, and a year that sold in higher volume collects more while being no worse.

This retrieval holds 7 of the nameplate’s model years. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020 are absent, which means no records came back for them — not that they were clean. The ranking above is among the years shown.

The 2022 accounts for 1% of every complaint filed against the Chrysler 300 in this retrieval, which works out to 1.2 complaints per year on the road across the 4 years since it was sold new — the figure to compare against other years, because it removes the advantage a newer car gets simply from having had less time to accumulate reports.

Complaints fell against the preceding year: the 2022 carries 25% of the 2021’s reports. Some of that is age, but a drop this large between consecutive years often marks a fix.

Which recalls cover the 2022?

NHTSA records 2 recall entries against the 2022 Chrysler 300. The campaign text for this year was not part of the stored sample — check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, which is the only way to know whether a specific car’s campaigns were carried out.

What do owners report on the Chrysler 300?
