Needed a door and found the exact same model and color door, and also upgraded the entire interior as well. Funny thing is his sister blew up the car a month later due to a crack in the radiator. Yeep you guessed it,.. back to the Savage for a motor, but this time the PT Inventory had almost double😂

I agree, that's why I've always had a soft spot for Chryslers! I loved my 07 Chrysler 300 when I owned it 5 years ago. But it kept giving me a snowball effect of small problems....... So i sold it..... But I did like & enjoy the car! My first car tho was a 1988 Chrysler New Yorker with 103,000 miles & was like 18 years old at the time..... & to this day, it was actually the most reliable car I have owned yet! fixed a few things for safety & didn't give me one problem after that! & I was a kid back then who liked to race yellow lights haha! (So i wasn't easy on her) Technically it had a Mitsubishi V6 engine tho.

We're on our second Chrysler Town and Country. This one has 163,000 trouble free miles. The last one, a 2010 model had about the same when it was in a crash and totaled. Up to that time it was a perfect car. Never an issue. Perhaps some Chryslers are bad but, neither of the two that I have owned. I did have a company car, a Durango that I drove the livin piss out of and it was a good car as well.

I have a 2017 ram V6 with 35k miles. It’s regular cab 2wd tradesman. It’s been very reliable. The pentastar is reliable 2016 and up; they have different better cylinder head designs. The ZF 8 speed is bulletproof, they don’t have Chrysler trans anymore. My best friend is a tech at Chrysler and i wouldn’t have got it had i not done proper research. I see him once a week and see the cars in there.... it’s normally older pentstar 2015 and older with the older design with issues. Hemi issue is the cam flattens out over time on some but this is fixed with a simple cam kit.

You have to qualify what era of Chrysler you are talking about. I owned a new '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee and had it for almost 17 years and 235k with just regular maintenance! Now the Mercedes ownership era wasn't as bad as Fiat's present day involvement. Jeep, Ram, and the big Hemi's haven't been hurt by Fiat. The rest of the line up not so much. I wish Chrysler could just stay American and lose the European owners.

I had a 2011 v6 challenger, put a 3.90 gear in it from a junkyard 300, put a tuner and a 150 shot of nitrous through it and ran it for 3 years on the stock engine and transmission. Nothing at all wrong with that engine and it was one of the most fun and reliable cars I have ever owned. I NEVER broke down and it had one issue (window regulator) in the entire time that I owned it. It was running the day I got rid of it as well with over 150k miles and not a damn thing wrong. I changed the fluids including transmission religiously and always made sure that the intake and heads were kept very clean. It is all in how you choose (or not) to maintain your vehicle.

Chrysler is the only brand in America that doesn't have much of a loyal following if any at all. How many times have you heard, "I love Chrysler" or "Chryslers are great cars" or "I want a Chrysler"? Dodge on the other hand had the Viper, their trucks, Challenger, Charger, Durango SRT... etc and thus still have some credibility and loyalty in their name in performance and style. The 300 Hemi has been Chrysler's only worthwhile asset but people only like the model for itself, not necessarily the brand behind it.
