Owner-reported

2005 Chrysler 300 mileage at failure

514 of the 825 complaints on file for the 2005 Chrysler 300 give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Air Bags	Median 70,000 miles	Middle half 20,000–110,000 miles	Based on 74 complaints
Power Train	Median 85,000 miles	Middle half 50,000–120,000 miles	Based on 161 complaints
Electrical System	Median 60,000 miles	Middle half 13,000–105,000 miles	Based on 62 complaints
Engine	Median 75,000 miles	Middle half 40,000–140,000 miles	Based on 75 complaints
Fuel/Propulsion System	Median 95,000 miles	Middle half 65,000–120,000 miles	Based on 66 complaints
Suspension	Median 6,000 miles	Middle half 500–30,000 miles	Based on 36 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Mileage from NHTSA's complaints file of October 31, 2026. How these figures are worked out

Air Bags

ODI #11731463

Incident: March 31, 2026 · Filed: April 15, 2026

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V352000 (Air Bags); however, after retrieving the vehicle the following day, the vehicle experienced several failures while driving. The A/C was inoperable, the vehicle was running rough, the check engine warning light was flashing, and the vehicle almost stalled while coming to a stop. Additionally, the contact became aware that there was a hole in the fuel tank. The dealer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was filed. The manufacturer followed up with the dealer, and the contact was later informed that no assistance would be provided because the failures were unrelated to the recall, as per the dealer’s assessment. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 106,272.

Power Train; Electrical System

ODI #11624858

Incident: November 5, 2023 · Filed: November 12, 2024

This is a serious safety concern regarding the shift interlock system on my 2005 Chrysler 300. When the vehicle is in Park, particularly in traffic, and the light turns green, I am forced to lift the coin attachment and manually press the pink interlock just to change gears or accelerate. This creates a dangerous situation where I am unable to move the vehicle promptly, potentially leaving me vulnerable to a rear-end collision. The issue stems from Recall 05V462000, which specifically addresses a shift interlock defect that Chrysler has failed to address despite my repeated attempts to have it repaired. Chrysler has not taken any action to resolve the recall issue, leaving me in a potentially life-threatening situation every time I drive. It is unacceptable that this recall has not been acted upon, and this critical safety defect must be corrected immediately.

Power Train

ODI #11604911

Incident: May 19, 2024 · Filed: July 27, 2024

The vehicle began to shutter in reverse. This went on for about a week. Transmission fluid level was checked and it was in the normal range. My husband and I were driving it and made a sharp turn to find us in a spot to continue forward and go off a cliff or back up and get out of traffics way. He backed up and we heard a clunk. The car continues to drive forward with no issues but it acts as of it’s in neutral when you put it in reverse. No codes are showing either.

ODI #11498307

Incident: December 20, 2021 · Filed: December 20, 2022

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the front passenger’s side air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated there was no recall for the failure. The failure mileage was 19,641.

Fuel/Propulsion System

ODI #11495459

Incident: June 1, 2022 · Filed: November 30, 2022

Strong fuel smell in cabin and outside of car when gas tank is full. Discovered gas in the cabin sitting on top of the fuel tank under the passenger-rear seat. Multiple posts in online forums confirm this is a known issue. Vehicle owner ordered a new o-ring to attempt repair. Area around fuel pump under driver's-rear seat was not affected. No warning lights, notices or performance issues. Only indication is strong gas fumes in car after filling up the gas tank (auto shutoff at pump, not topped off) which persists for several days. Problem seems minimized if gas tank is shorted 2-3 gallons from max capacity on fillup (about 14 gallons when car is close to empty per the gas gauge in dashboard.) Car was not inspected by dealer, insurance agent, police, independent service center, or anyone else other than owner.

ODI #11487307

1 injury

Incident: June 14, 2022 · Filed: September 30, 2022

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while the mother was driving at approximately 10 mph when suddenly the driver-side air bag erroneously deployed. During the incident, no crash had occurred and the vehicle had not driven over a pothole or bump in the road. The driver sustained a left-hand injury which included three fractured fingers. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was towed away and examined by the manufacturer's engineer. The cause of the failure was not explained but the contact was informed that the manufacturer took no responsibility for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 190,000

ODI #11478250

1 injury

Incident: June 14, 2022 · Filed: August 8, 2022

The contact's mother owns a 2005 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while her mother was driving approximately 10 mph, the air bag deployed without a crash or impact. The driver sustained a fractured finger and medical attention was provided. The contact called the local dealer but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was due to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V313000 (Air Bags). The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided.

Steering; Suspension; Power Train

ODI #11474862

Incident: September 2, 2021 · Filed: July 20, 2022

Reverse gear went out after vehicle slipped once, acted as if in neutral when in reverse and pressing gas pedal down but would not move. Had local towing and mechanic shop in Gower Missouri check transmission fluid level in which was found to be a quart low on transmission fluid. Car had been extremely well maintained and all recommended maintenance services completed by previous owners. Able to drive car in all other gears, codes p0007 code appear with no check engine light or any type of warning or indication that a problem was present within my 2005 Chrysler 300 3.5l v6 rwd car with the 42rle transmission My vehicle also has issues occur suddenly regarding front end suspension has death shake and very loud clinking popping banging noises while driving at all speeds. Steering wheel has a weird squeek/creeking noise when turning the wheel at times and feels like steering is loose. Tie rod end and sway link bar on front passenger right side of vehicle is bent opposite direction it is supposed to and car also has higher rpm than normal and shifting at higher rpms. Went into limp mode twice which I reset myself due to having an emergency where I had to drive it. With the suspension and steering issues it causes a safety risk due to sway link and tie rod end breaking causing vehicle to crash and wheel to detach from vehicle. Transmission gear loss due to transmission fluid leaking and gear linkage issues causes safety risk due to the event of reversing to move out of the way and to avoid potential harm to passengers (my 5 young children) within the vehicle in the event the vehicle can't move from the place parked. The vehicle is available to be inspection and has been checked out by 3 different mechanic shops located in Gower, saint Joseph, and Savannah Missouri all in which stateed verbally that low fluid due to leak somewhere from transmission and poor linkage components within gear solenoid and possible pcm and mil issues to be at fault of vehicle mufacture
