CAR STARTED MISS FIRING ONE COLD MORNING. SHAKES AT LOW RPM AND THROWS A CEL. BARELY OVER 100K MILES AND IT TICKING VERY LOUDLY WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE IT IS THE ROCKER ARMS. NOW INSTEAD OF BEING COVERED THE COST TO REPAIR I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET ON A CAR I AM STILL FINANCING. SIMPLY RIDICULOUS , NEVER OWNING A CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2012 Chrysler 300c verdict →
