I love my 300, 2007 AWD Hemi. over 215k miles and no major issues. We purchased the LIFETIME bumper to bumper warrantee when we bought it, we will never get rid of this car. Thank you Chrysler

The awd also comes on whenever you turn your wipers and headlights on. Because that usually means bad weather. And after you turn them both off, the awd turns off automatically.

The nozzle in the trunk is actually if you need to use a jerry can for gas, as the nozzle on the jerry can won't fit in the gas tank, you must use the plastic nozzle. It's not for anything under the hood. (source owners manual)

The Chrysler 300 is a beautiful and unbeatable package for the money. It has had quite extensive and thoughtful updates to keep the car current. I have owned 3. Good luck with your new 300! It's amazing.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I BOUGHT MY CHRYSLER 300 IN AUGUST 2017. I HAVEN'T READ THE MANUAL AT ALL. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW. THANK YOU!

The 300 remote start will not work with less than a 1/4 tank of gas. When using the paddle shifters, if you want to shift down to the lowest allowable gear for your speed, just pull and hold the minus paddle until it stops shifting down. No need to keep pulling the paddle shifter multiple times to shift down. This will put you in the best gear for acceleration.

just bought a two year old model and absolutely love it!! Great drive and gorgeous.

Cool! I have an ‘18 300 awd basic one- no roof. Like it a lot. Have a buddy who was a taxi driver and had 3 that lasted as high as 250k miles. When it got up there started using oil and front struts got a bit noisy on bumps and one had electrical problems. However the ride, and comfortable seats were good till the end- so I bought one!

Very cool, makes me lov my 05 even more.

You are a very intelligent and well spoken content creator. I own a 2005 and 2018 Chrysler 300 autos. The information you shared was very informative!

Incidentally, the automatic shifting into park feature was added as a response to the death of Anton Yelchin (Chekov from the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies). He had left his car while it was not in park, and the car rolled and pinned him against a fence. (The gearshift in the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee was _astoundingly_ badly designed and it was really easy to leave it in gear.)

Thanks for making this video an sharing the little unknown facts

Headlights are not that bright for projecter beams. I would recommend upgrading to led bulbs.

Informative! Knew most of that but some things not. Thanks for the video!

Very informative, I enjoyed your video very much👍 great choice for a car ✔💯

Thank you that was a cool informative video.

The nozzle in the trunk is for putting gas in your car when using a gas can... not putting fluids in your engine

I have a 2015 300C hemi and I just got that transmission\ignition upgrade. I agree that it is a nice safety feature if you forget to rotate the shift knob to park, but it then requires you to press the ignition button two more times. I continue to put the car in park and turn off the ignition the old fashioned way.

Wish it had the 392 hemi again

I have a 2017 limited and I love it!

The 300 is so sexy. My '07 is as old as dust but still sexy 😀

You rock , great video

Thanks for the video! You did a great job and I really enjoyed your presentation. It's Lee Iacocca who was famous for bringing Chrysler back from the brink of bankruptcy in the late 1970’s to near record sales records in the 1980’s. Great leader for Chrysler financially speaking and he had lots of great ideas (including the minivan which didn't exist before he introduced it), but quality was unfortunately not the best. I did notice that a few of your facts are off, but you still did a great job. Don't let the idiot trolls who have nothing better to do than harshly point out what's wrong in a video, get to you. You have to feel sorry for people like that. They must either be coming down from their pain killers or have had one too many glasses of wine and feel the need to be belligerent.

Bought 2018 Chrysler touring v6 brand new. Currently at 120k miles. Haven't put a $ in it other than synthetic oil change and 100k trans flush. Great reliable car, comfortable, and fast

Ralph is also a nice person to meet in person, with a great personality and beautiful family

Great video

Informative thanks for posting

The suspension you talk about was the current 2003-2009 Mercedes E Class suspension of the time ... It was not the older 1990's version..It was the current 2003-2009 ! A thing people say to bash Chrysler,and everyone believes it ! Suspension was not an exact copy either,you cant take it out of a Mercedes and slap it into a Chrysler...Basic geometry but changed and engineered for the Chrysler L series cars.. By 2011 Chrysler removed and replaced most of the Mercedes parts and the 2015 - current have basically nothing of the Mercedes era in them,except for the all wheel drive system.... Again the current 300/Charger/Challenger have no Mercedes parts..Except the all wheel drive system that was derived from a form of the 4 matic.. The adaptive cruise control is not a Mercedes version or part,it has nothing to do with them as of 2007 they were not together ! And the design of this wasnt theirs ! Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Active Braking Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist etc is also not Mercedes derived... Your 300 has little to do with Mercedes...FYI Chrysler was going to go rear drive,but mercedes forced them to use the design of the then current 2003 E Class suspension for the 2005-2010 Chrysler...They had plans to have rear drive cars again,fun fact Chrysler had a 1993 Dodge Intrepid with rear drive and a (5.9L) 360 cubic inch V-8 in it !! Also those cars were front drive but engines were not side mounted as the platform was made to be rear drive and all wheel drive !!! That was way,way before the Mercedes era...Look at the Chrysler Concept cars of the 1990's etc.. Ralph Gilles didnt design the car,he led the team of designers...It was designed by several people ! Fun fact the Mercedes SLS is based on a Dodge Viper,sure they say it isnt so but it was to be the next generation Viper/frame/suspension etc....True..Also the current line of Mercedes V-6 engines are based on Chrysler V-6 engines and more facts.. Mercedes merged with Chrysler because of Chrysler advanced Electronic division !! The 300 has Chrysler Corporation electronics and advanced electronics are from Chrysler...FYI,Chrysler 1st to have electronic ignition,fuel injection (but didnt quite work to good like all back in the 1950's) 1st to have a Computer back in the early 1970's... They were the same company so Mercedes bits made it into Chrysler's and Chrysler bits made it into Mercedes albeit they hid it to the general public because stuck up Mercedes buyers would look down on it..But it happened...Its funny,every Chrysler,Dodge,RAM,Jeep of that era was said to be Mercedes though it wasnt,and today its considered all Fiat although it isnt either... Your Chrysler only has a derivative of the 4 matic awd system,not an exact copy..Suspension,electronics are not Mercedes !! And dont spread the fake news that the 2005-2010 were old 1990's E Class,they were BASED on the then new current 2003 E class suspension..that Mercedes used until 2009,Chrysler based design until 2010..Chrysler redid it in 2011 and made more changes ,the 2015- now are nothing Mercedes..

I have the 2006 300C. Still going strong. Love my car.

Had my 2013 varvatos since 14 and u just blew my mind 🤦🏾‍♂️

Want to get my second one. Best car I've owed. Love your speakers in the trunk. I'm looking for a car but always come back to the 300. I have the 2005, want the new design model i know I'll just LOVE IT!

I enjoyed your informative video. That 300 you have is a beauty. It's crazy how out of the older gen Mercedes E-Class they managed to produce the Dodge Magnum, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler 300.

Got the 2018 like it alot!

Good things to know as I want to buy one of these cars soon. I really like these cars.

Mostly well done, I have studied this model extensively and I still learned from this video. ( The spare tire angle and the battery in the trunk may have been from Mercedes. Drag racers have been putting the battery there for decades.) 2 errors. Plenty have commented on the little filler funnel, the other is the AWD system. Until part way through 2009 you are correct. Chrysler switched to the Borg Warner TOD system after that. The earlier system had a differential between the front and rear drive, the BW system engages a clutch pack to drive the front wheels, the rear wheels are directly driven from the transmission output shaft. There is also a front axle disconnect right beside the engine sump. Combining these 2 features made the AWD system on the 300, Charger and Challenger unique until Mercedes came out with the 4matic+ in 2016.

Interesting to hear Ralph’s name in this video. My father who works with Ralph on the design team designed most interior parts.

Did you know that you can disable that annoying seat belt chime? The answer is yes you can. Step 1: Put your seat belt on. Step 2: Press the ignition button twice to RUN (don’t start the car) Step 3: Wait until the car boots up and the seat belt light is off. Step 4: Unlatch the seat belt and reengage three times (you will hear a beep informing you that the seat belt chime is deactivated) Step 5: Turn off the car and…Hooray you can now drive in a parking lot without being annoyed :) Remember you can reactivate seat belt chime following the same steps.

The stalk for the lights also controls the Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control - If Equipped. (The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system provides increased forward lighting at night by automating high beam control through the use of a digital camera mounted on the windshield. This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to) You turn it on or off through the Uconnect Settings then push the lever forward with the headlamps in the Auto position to activate.

What I love most about this 300 is the biggest wheels you can find in a sedan!

great video I have a 2018 300C which I special ordered my name on window sticker love the car

Super video

The tube/funnel that is located near the spare tire & battery is actually to allow you to put fluids such as fuel additives to the gas tank. Since the gas intake is capless you need a special funnel to add fuel additives and they provide you with one so that you can do so. You can not merely stick anything in there but need that special funnel to open the gas tank intake!

Hello, I've been reading all the interesting & formative comments, I must agree, as a chrysler 300 car lover, the first thing I noticed about your car was it wasn't polished & clean looking like my 2007 300, many ppl think my car is newer than it is because I keep the wheels shiny & a good wax on my car. I love my 300 and take pride in him....BTW my car is named 'Charlie', (smiles)

AWD.. a must for this car in snowy climates!

The funnel in the trunk by the spare is for the gas tank

My '14 300 S automatically goes into park if key is shut off or door is opened while in drive. AWD also comes on if wipers are on for so long or if you push Trac off button or if its in sport mode...or detects wheel slippage.

I would never have guessed that Matthew Broderick was such a supporter of the Chrysler 300...thanks for the informative video, Mr. Broderick!

I got a 2014C love love love this car.

300s ARE NICE & are highly customizable 👍🏾

With the Awd system if you take off traction control you can switch it between RWD and AWD

Regarding the AWD when the wipers are on it goes into AWD as well.

I love my 300C!!!

These are nice cars

I have driven both Mercedes CLS and 300 and I must say both felt very similar in many ways, like it 300 interior and Mercedes CLS exterior

The funnel or nozel is to fit the gas tank it has a smaller neck on the gas tank then most cars and an old gas can will not fit into the tank , also their is a safety flap inside the filler neck of the tank that needs to be depressed to add fuel and this will depress it so you can add fuel from a gas can pretty sweet

I own a 2017 Chrysler 300 S AWD. Mighty fine car! Its all black. I call it “crow”. Luv it!

good video

I also tend to keep my sxm on BMP

That nozzle on the trunk is to add gas in the tank

FYI, on the Nav menu work - building icon, that's the Chrysler Pentastar Logo (not a blue office indicator)

Love my 300

I recently purchased a 2014 300C AWD with the 5.7L Hemi, couldn't be happier. Love this fucking beast. Classy ass car with power to boot.

Also goes into AWD when the wipers are being used. Not bad info. Won't beat a dead horse on the other stuff. :)

Did you know.. if you hold down the the unlock button on the key fob it will roll down the front window? My old 2012 charger did it... but not the newer chargers wierd... but I think the 300 does still.

Good choice

In the segment you showed the trunk carpet lifting hook. That the hook hooks onto the weather stripping…This was helpfully…Thank-you Did you know that the funnel under the trunk carpet is for the gas tank? If you run out of gas and need to use a Jerry can (red plastic Gas container) that is what that funnel is for. One last thing did you know that you can disable that annoying seat-belt chime? The answer is yes you can. Step 1: Put your seat belt on. Step 2: Press the ignition button twice to RUN (don’t start the car) Step 3: Wait until the car boots up and the seat belt light is off. Step 4: Unlatch the seat belt and reengage three times (you will hear a beep informing you that the seat belt chime is deactivated) Step 5: Turn off the car and…Hooray you can now drive in a parking lot without being Annoyed :) Remember you can reactivate seat belt chime following the same steps.

That funnel is to put fuel in your tank with a gas can. All capless Chrysler's come with that(;

I have a 2013 base 300 although it’s got quite a few bells and whistles like panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, power front seats, etc. 145000 miles. I love the look…. The ride….. The comfort. My backup camera just went out but that’s no biggie just annoying when you’re used to it! I would definitely buy another 300.

I have 2014 chrystler 300 i love it

Thnx

I have a 2013 Chrysler 300C. She's a real head-turner. Rides like a dream. Everyone that has seen it or rides in it can't believe how nice it is. With 120,000 on it I have only changed the tires the brakes an wiper blades. The wipers and the brakes are OME. According to a stranger that stop me to say it looks showroom New.

Bry buddy what size tires are you running?? I know 20 inch but the actual tire size.. The sidwalls look nice and high.. It is a smooth ride? I have the 2017 300S

I want one!

Great car.

My wife, Sherri Keith-Ayers, just traded in her new Ford Fusion SE she had for one month. Ran like a dream. Just no room. Got back on track to her favorite Chryslar 300S. She loves her car. We love the room, comfort, style, gas milage, the works. You name it, she loves it. Thanks to Chryslar in New Smyrna Bch., Fl 06-09-18

Thanks now i know.

The car will also go into AWD from RWD if you spin the back wheels from dead stop, even if its a sudden spin.

Do you know how to turn the fog lights off? Not the daytime running lights, the fog lamps below those, mine are on at all times. If I turn them on with the headlight switch, they get brighter. If I turn them off, they dim, but are still on.

5:58 I always heard his name pronounced Lee "eye- uh--coca"

All of these futures are also on my 2016 300S. Not only 2018 and up. The battery in the back started in 2007 with the charger. Or sooner. I know because i fad a 2007 Charger.

What are reliability problems engine 3.6l and 8 speed gearbox ? Thanks

seems like a nice guy but hes a master of misinformation.

When your car goes in awd does it pullback in first gears because I took mine to the dealer and they say it’s normal. To me it feels like that’s not normal.

Let me add a tip about the older chrysler 300s there wiring harness that in the motor bay They can fry and fuse together but this is only for the 2008 2.7 motor and idk why it's so hot in the motor bay and idk how to cool it off but there problem is the wiring harness

can it do the reclining passenger seat thing ?

I actually liked this video. It was actually very informative Did anyone actually count how many times he said ACTUALLY? LOL

My 300s 2014 also automatically goes to park but only if its in reverse or neutral

Does the awd really change to rwd?

I have a 2018 Chrysler 300 s all-wheel drive and when it's cold outside I do not notice any gas mileage difference still getting over 25 miles in all-wheel drive

Did you ever find out what the check engine light was on for?

They had a 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst edition high performance engine Was basically a old SRT maybe

Have you done anything to the audio besides the subwoofer in the trunk?

Mine catches wind really bad and blows me all over the road. But I love my 300 S!

i know you need to wash it before you review it ,dam thats elementary

wow

Did not know about the spare info

you kinda look like Martin Shkreli

Can other Chrysler cars front seats lay all the way back? (Recliner)

What year ?

The 11th thing we don't know is how has it been up to now?
