2015 Chrysler 300 Suspension Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the suspension system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Suspension reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION AND ALIGNMENT WERE OFF ON THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE TIRES TWICE WITHIN A YEAR DUE TO EXCESSIVE TREADWEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE CAMBERED OUT MORE TO THE RIGHT INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT AND FLUSHED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MARTY CANCILA DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (2175 N HIGHWAY 67, FLORISSANT, MO 63033, (636) 400-0097) RECOMMENDED AN ALIGNMENT AND A NEW SET OF TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *BF *AS

FIRST, THE TOP OF MY DASHBOARD CAME UNGLUED. SECOND, FRONT SUSPENSION HAS A RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING OF A BUMPY ROAD. FINALLY, MY FRONT HEAD TEND TO SWING BACK AND FORTH INSTEAD OF RAISING UP SMOOTHLY WHEN TURNING ON MY CAR. HOPEFULLY I DON'T GET ANY MORE PROBLEMS WITH MY 300 BEING THAT I JUST GOT THE CAR IN DECEMBER.

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2018, I WAS NOT GETTING A SMOOTH RIDE. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES( 5,000) AND 50,000; 60,000 SERVICE INTERVALS. AFTER A ROUGH SNOWY WINTER, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, AND STILL WASN'T GETTING SMOOTH RIDE. DEALER DETERMINED I NEEDED NEW FRONT STRUTS, ( PAID OVER $1,100 FOR THE STRUTS)AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. I'M STILL NOT GETTING A SMOOTH RIDE WHEREAS I FEEL EVERY BUMP I COME ACROSS WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND MILDLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15-25 MPH ON BOTH STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE FRONT SUSPENSION GENERATES A SOUND THAT RELATES TO WORN BUSHINGS OR A 'LOOSE'STRUTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED ON THIS ISSUE. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT RESOLVED SAME. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN THIS 300 MODEL. THEY HAVE PLACED THIS PROBLEM ON A 'STAR' LIST AND ARE TELLING ME THE PROBLEM WILL HAVE TO GET WORSE BEFORE ANY FURTHER CORRECTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR. TECHNICIANS HAVE RIDDEN WITH ME IN THE CAR AND CONFIRM THE ' LOOSE SOUND' IS PRESENT. THEY APPARENTLY DO NOT HAVE A RELIABLE SOLUTION!

THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS MAJOR RUSTING AND WAS NOTICED A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME OF NOTICING THE RUST, IT HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES. I DO NOT LEAVE IN AN AREA THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY ROAD SALT OR DE-ICING AGENT. THE RUST APPEARS TO MORE THAN JUST SURFACE RUSTING AND HAS CAUSED ALL THE BOLTS, BUSHING AND CONTROL ARMS TO HAVE MAJOR RUST AND IN SOME PARTS THE METAL IS FLAKING. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK AND NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON A VEHICLE, MUCH LESS A BRAND NEW ONE

MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300S MODEL WITH LESS THEN 300 MILES ON IT HAS SERVER CORROSION DUE TO HEAVY RUSTING ON AND AROUND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER CONTROL ARMS AND BOLTS AND BUSHINGS. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE VEHICLE HASNT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY HARSH CLIMATES WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES (TEST DRIVE MILES) WHEN PURCHASED. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THERE ARE SEVERAL LATE MODEL CHRYSLER'S 300 WITH THE SAME RUSTING ISSUE, IN SOME CASES SEVER CRASHES HAVE BEEN REPORTED DUE TO SUSPENSION BREAKING FROM RUST CORROSION.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
