Buying Tips for the 2011–2015 Chrysler 300C

  • Listen for "knocking" from the front suspension over bumps; it usually means worn control arms or ARB bushes.
  • On diesel models, check for the "red lightning bolt" warning light, which can indicate swirl motor or electronic throttle issues.
  • Verify that the alternator is charging correctly, as failures are common and can leave you stranded.
  • The facelift models (late 2008 onwards) have a much-improved interior and slightly better electrical reliability.
  • Touring (Estate) versions are highly practical but check for sagging rear self-levelling suspension.
