2006 Chrysler 300C mileage at failure
580 of the 698 complaints on file for the 2006 Chrysler 300C give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.
| Component | Median | Middle half | Based on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuel/Propulsion System | Median 70,000 miles | Middle half 50,000–100,000 miles | Based on 291 complaints |
| Engine | Median 85,000 miles | Middle half 60,000–105,000 miles | Based on 249 complaints |
| Power Train | Median 75,000 miles | Middle half 55,000–110,000 miles | Based on 93 complaints |
| Electrical System | Median 95,000 miles | Middle half 70,000–120,000 miles | Based on 43 complaints |
| Steering | Median 60,000 miles | Middle half 45,000–90,000 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.
Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
