2017 Chrysler 300: engine and transmission complaints
NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
19%
14 of 75 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2017 Chrysler 300. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 19% of relevant complaints.
Better than 88% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 11 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 16%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.
