📖Chrysler 300 II Saloon: refined luxury and muscular rear-wheel-drive cruising

Chrysler 300 II Saloon (2011-2014)

For the second-generation 300, Chrysler softened the gangster edge in favour of sculpted elegance, higher-grade cabin materials and vastly improved acoustic isolation. While contemporary European saloons like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class chased smaller turbocharged engines, the 300 stayed true to classic rear-wheel-drive grand touring with natural atmospheric power. Dedicated Chrysler 300 maintenance preserves its quiet motorway isolation and driveline integrity.

The range was transformed by the 292 bhp 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, initially paired with the five-speed and later with the excellent ZF 8-speed automatic gearbox. Enthusiasts could also choose the thunderous 5.7-litre or the flagship 6.4-litre HEMI V8 SRT8. The revised chassis filters road imperfections with greater finesse, but the car remains heavy, meaning suspension bushes and brake components continue to wear steadily.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Significantly upgraded interior quality, superior sound insulation and comfortable seats create a serene cabin.
  • The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 combined with the 8-speed automatic delivers strong refinement and respectable economy.
  • SRT8 6.4-litre HEMI models provide intoxicating muscle-car performance wrapped in a spacious executive saloon body.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • Automatic transmission: verify smooth shifting on both the 5-speed NAG1 and the ZF 8HP gearbox without torque converter shudder.
  • HEMI V8 valve train: listen for camshaft and lifter tick on cold idle, ensuring correct oil viscosity is used for MDS operation.
  • 3.6 Pentastar oil cooler housing: check the V-groove under the intake manifold for pooling engine oil or coolant.
  • Front suspension: check tension struts, ball joints and anti-roll bar drop links for premature wear under heavy braking.
  • Uconnect infotainment screen: test touch sensitivity and screen responsiveness across navigation and climate menus.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil change every 10,000 km or 12 months, using exact manufacturer viscosity specifications (especially 0W-40 on SRT8).
  • Transmission fluid and sump filter renewal every 80,000 km to guarantee shift quality and torque converter life.
  • Immediate inspection of any valvetrain ticking on HEMI engines to avoid premature camshaft lobe scoring.
