The Chrysler 300 SRT is such an American combination. Big luxury sedan with a large V8 shoved under the hood with RWD. This car really feels like the classier version of all the various Dodge Charger and Challenger SRTs out there, the Mopar muscle for adults. With some impressive technology (for the price and money), heated and cooled cupholders and adjustable suspension, this American muscle-sedan is pretty awesome. My friend Tim has this example that has traveled over 155,000 miles, find out what some of the major issues have been, what its been like to own and why its such a cool option in this price range!

Imagine buying an E60 M5 over this beast
Shots fired 🤣
I would.. I would love a well maintained E60

@@paulbator1597 you're a day late. Did the M5 go into limp mode on the way to the comment section?
I hope FCA is paying attention, there’s been so much 300 content on UA-cam this year. Video is fire
Hellcat 300 plz
@@EddieX please. Pretty please
@@EddieX swap the motor to a hellecat, when the original motor blows.
Check out DNA drives on youtube they got one
Why would FCA care about UA-cam content
The owner is very knowledgeable with his car...good review
He totally gets the car. I had a 2010 6.1. Loved that car and would have gotten a new one to replace it if they would have still offered it in the US in 2017.
The 5-speed was better mated to the 6.1’s power band. I have a 2015 Jeep SRT with a 6.4 and 8-speed so it is strange why the 8-speed never made it into the 300 SRT toward the end.
@@brian6268 You gotta remember, at the time, they were still figuring out the engineering with the RWD 392's, hence why 2014 model year Charger, Challenger, and 300 SRT's still came with the 5 Speed NAG1's
That's the owner? I thought I was that smug Asian guys wife. I accepted them as transgender and or gays. Since the Asian was so smug like a gay person is. I thought they were for sure partners.
@@brian6268 How did it take sharp turns over 45mph? It didn't it went straight. That car is a brick and that's all there is to it. You can't engineer a sports car out of a brick. It won't turn. I had a 2011 E550 and that thing took corners at 70 without a peep from the tires. The 300 sounds like a crash is soon to happen. I don't like big brick of a car that only goes fast in a straight line. What happens when you need to turn at high speed?
@@moparfam300c Stop making excuses for Mopar being junk. Mercedes was like we got burned and sold dodge like it was crap. And for a loss to it's so not on par with Mercedes. Mercedes only wanted jeep not dodge or Chrysler. Why would anybody want Chrysler they have 3 cars that have been the same cars since the fucking 2000's. Same with dodge the new challenger & charger body styles came out when oh yeah in the 2000's too. Update the suspension lose the brick shape & design cars that turn at high speed with out being so sloppy. If not then Chrysler is doomed along with dodge.
Appreciate reviews of vehicles with 100,000-miles plus on the odometer. New vehicle reviews don't typically address reliability yet reliability is so important.
‘’Needs a little front end work’’ EVERY CHRYSLER 300 OWNER 😂😂 mine too mine too
I have zero issues with my 300 other than the control arms. That’s a pain. Other than that, it’s a solid ride.
Lol my 300 is still strong.
That 300 is real nice. I would have never guessed it had those miles on it. The wheels look perfect. Makes me want one, lol.
The wheels were the perfect touch. OEM+
I love my 300C with the 5.7L Hemi - not the SRT like is reviewed here. It is a 2009 that I purchased new and I have over 250,000 miles on it with no engine issues and with one control module replacement on the transmission. I love it. It replaced my 1999 Chrysler LHS with over 340,000 miles. I drive my cars!
I got a 5.7 too 140k miles had this baby for 2 years now it gave me alot of problems but i still like it 🤣
@@finnesinhearts9411 same bro !! Check mine out family ! I got a 2010 5.7 300 .
I loved and still love the LHS.
Love the breaking bad reference with the license plate ;)
Lol Nice. Breaking Bad is what made me notice the 300 SRT, as well. Had to have one. Rare cars. You just dont see them left and right like the Chargers/Challengers/Jeeps
Here in Charlotte NC they're everywhere, you can see 10 every 10 minutes no joking
The "my name is earl" brother was pretty cool
LOL.. I thought the exact same thing... except that actor looks nothing like that now. He got in shape and is buff...
I have 2005 300SRT8 with a 145,000 miles on it! Drives and looks great!
Very nice! Only 225 of those 2005 model years ever produced from February to March of 2005!
2005 Chrysler 300 looks better than the newer 300s
I have an 05 300 srt8 also, love it!!
I have a 2013 300 srt8 now with 170,000 miles and the same issue with the lifters and cam came around 140,000 ish miles. That was the only major issue so far. But overall this car is very reliable from my experience. Also the transmission is very clunky, wish the newer models with the 8 speed were sold in North America!
The ZF8 would have been great in this for sure
How much was it to fix the lifters?
@@nick__cars had to do my cam and lifters. ran about 3-4k labor and parts included. mine was at 96,000 miles but mine is a 2012 ex police charger so it sat idle alot. has 7500 idle hours
@@GDinero how do u find the idle hours?
Love my ‘07 SRT8, only 57k miles. 6.1 for the win💪🏼
How is the maintenance any issues at all?
@@michaelclements7961 no they are bullet proof
Really cool bro that you have low milage love the 1st gen 300s excellent selection
I heard that the 6.1 Hemi are more reliable than the 6.4! And easier to mod. You are a happy guy
@@michaelclements7961 not as of yet. I did my research on this motor, looked for months! Was lucky to find the deal that I did.
I do hear valve train lubrication CAN be a problem in these motors, much like the 5.7 and 6.4 (due to inadequate splash lubrication from the crank under 2k rpms) however it seems *MUCH* less prevalent in the 6.1.
Love this car. One thing I don't understand is the part about Chrysler not being able to provide AWD with the V8/8speed trans combo. They've been doing that since 2014 in the Durango.
That's because most of these big muscle cars with the top trim like SRT / GT500 / GT350- / Hellcat , arent daily driven , they are more like weekend warriors so it doesnt justify the need for AWD. Also, itll be must more expensive. Throughout the history, all big top trims like these are all about wheel spin and RWD
@@MTLJack -I wasn't talking just about the SRT or "highline" cars...I was talking about the HEMI's in general. The 5.7 HEMI was in everything and the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango had AWD with their V8's and the Chrysler 300 V8 had AWD as an option up until 2014. And very few of those cars would be considered "weekend warriors". So it was just a choice on Chrysler's side to not offer it.
Eddie your buddy knows a lot about the car - was a super interesting video! Thanks guys!
Had the exact same car, sold it, now I bought another one but with the 8 speed, best cars ever, despite of lifter failures..
I have the 300C with 5.7L and its great. It is said to be one of the easiest cars to ingress/egress and I believe it. the seats are at the perfect height.
Such an iconic car and such a clean example too!
It was in great condition given the mileage!
@@EddieX I know! I rode in it a couple weeks ago and would have never guessed that it was close to 150k if I hadn't known before!
You dont have to get a cam to deactivate mds. You can get a tuner to do that.
Always been fascinated by these. Great review, Eddie.
Nice car, you should do a review on a older MayBach 57 or 62 if you find one!
That would be properly awesome
I just bought a 2006 Chrysler 300c hemi with 168,000 miles. It has some issues that have cropped up. I am having the side mirrors replaced so they can be adjusted from the inside arm rest control. It is having a engine light on and off issue that will be looked at by my mechanic. It smells hot but the dash gauge is normal and it did stall out later today, grrrr. Then, today, the engine light came on again along with the oil light, will check the fluids tomorrow. I know the water pump was going to need replacing very soon. Not sure of the actual problem(s) can be. The car ran superbly earlier today. Love this car and am willing to put some money into it but I have to do so as needed and slowly due to my income being Social Security only. My car has that lovely black ain’t and glistens in the sun. I was hoping for a little more sound car but I wanted a “muscle” car and this is definitely it. Pray that these are the only issues for awhile and they aren’t too costly.
Scotty Kilmer's going to be seriously peeved that this 300 SRT has lasted so long.
Scotty is dumb, he hates everything that is not a Toyota
Owner of 2013 300 5.7 here: car ran good till it broke a lifter at 170,000 drove it till 190 and just got the engine replaced today.
yes I totally agree with the owner on the 5 speed box its old and could of used the 8 speed but I have the 5 speed in my 2008 300c crd and it is very reliable and smooth just as he explains.
Thanks for the video, the owner is extremely clued up on all the vehicles details, I have just bought a brand new 2020 model SRT Chrysler 300, and I am loving it, the listed power is 485hp but I think it is closer to 500hp when I compare it to driving my 1999 Viper. I think we are lucky being able to get these latest models here in Australia, why they are not making them available in America is a mystery, I think it's Fiat not understanding the US market.
I have a 2014 300 srt 8 just hit 64.000 miles white with red seats . Did Chrysler stop making 300 srt in 2014 .I was reading about it because the sales down. Post some picture of it I would like to see it .
Yes..sales would have been much higher with the 6.4 and the 8-speed. 2014 was last year in US for 300 SRT8.
That 300 is nice.. My 08 srt8 charger had 113k miles...drives like a charm.
Such a nasty example of the model 🔥 ... I’m currently shopping to move from Japanese luxury sport sedans to HEMI/MOPAR and that one definitely has me intrigued in starting there rather than straight to a Hellcat - absolutely incredible convo/review!
Go for the hellcat. Trust me you’re going to want more power. 392s/6.4 is not enough.
Why?...its such a down grade. Not dependable and The new CAPRICE AND CROWN VICT. Dope boi special.
i have 5.7 awd 2005, with 207000km no problems with engine and transmision, just a little often oil/fluid change
This lifters can still fail in the non MDs motors but you can put a hellcat oil pump on them to further mitigate that. It’s not as common to happen as people make it out to be though.
I have 2005 300c 160,000+
+miles and run as good as when it was new....
bought mine new off the showroom floor in 2012. Still own it and love it. Only has 49,000 on it. Had to change the cam and lifters already. i was told that was because i don't drive it enough with the type of lifters on the stock 392. Still love it!
Only 3,130 of these Second Generation Chrysler 300 SRT8's Built for the United States from 2012-2014!!!
You sir have a very nice and rare 2014 model year!!! Only 496 of them built for the U.S!!!
For 2013 they've made 635 of them for the U.S!!!
And for 2012, they've made 1,999 of them for the U.S!!!
Very very rare SRT than the Magnum SRT8!!! Only 3,947 of those built in total for the 2006-2008 model year!!!
Only 23 for the Canadian market
The lifter fail is exactly what happened to my 2012 300s and I miss it daily. I can't wait to get another 300 with a HEMI as soon as possible. MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!
No way what happen i have a 14 300s v8
those are junk motors
@@tragik183 sell it
The perfect mafia boss car
In reality if a person buys a car with the 392 ,and always keep it in sport mode the mds wont kick in,so just an easy tip for anyone worried about an auto /392 with mds.
I have a 12 392 and mds does kick in but not while changing gears on your own
Or buy a TaZer and just delete the MDS lol
@@zaiasm2305 it shouldnt kick in at all if its in sportmode
Damn Eddie with the daily uploads!!
Haha if only i could maintain that upload rate
@@EddieX do it for yourself
Good to see Tim on UA-cam again. Know him from the Family Cruisin days!
230,000 on my 07. Original motor. One transmission rebuild. Love it . When the day comes I'll upgrade to a 6.4.
Wow🥂
Man got a quick list on whats broke on it since you owned it Drivetrain wise? Also is it all stock?
Let me tell you what it's like to own a 193,000 mile 2013 SRT8. On the original engine. Still runs like a champ
how is maintenance, any major issues?, hows the MDS & cam/ lifters issues. thanks!
They good cars
Planning to get a 300 srt so informational notes taken 🙏🏾
luxury and sport bro hell yeah i’m looking to get one also!
Every time the owner does the look 👀 everytime he step on it he thinking.. “ aye watch my gas.” Lol 🤌🏽🥲
This video just pops up as soon as I’m looking to buy a 2013 charger R/T thank you for the knowledge
Blew the 392 with 50k miles on the Durango srt but was from the prior owner neglecting to change the oil during the lease
tf
Amazing vid, owner had lots of knowledge
Great review. I like the 300 but afraid to buy one reading about some of the issues they have.
I love these cars. At 42yrs old with a family, this makes a lot of sense to me. I'd prefer the 8spd, but I'd still hit it.
I'm 28 and it makes sense to me too 🤣
@@AD-mo5sg I would have liked it at that age as well. Most of my friends were all about coupes at that age, but I've always loved a RWD American sedan.
@@mackm3875 yeah I'm hearing you mate! We have been lucky in Australia, the 4 door RWD was always the first choice for a young driver and had always been that way til our local manufacturing shut down. It's going to be all European hatchbacks in the future
I took my 2014 SRT8 to a car show and you would be surprised how many people don't even know that Chrysler made that SRT8 in 2012 through 2014 they think I did a motor swap the Chrysler 300 is the Grand National of sedan not many people knew about them back in the day and now they do and they're going for Big Money the SRT8 300 are super rare they only made 2600 from 2012 to 14 and in 14 Danny made a total production of 400 although people are doing the Hellcat Redeye in even one is a demon swap but they're not an original 6 for 392 SRT8 which is the same thing as someone getting a Regal I'm putting an LS in it's just not worth as much as a Grand National
Great spokesman for the 300 srt....I love mine.
I have a 2013 300 srt8 and i always drive it in "Manual" just so i dont ever have to worry about the MDS. (I'm glad that MDS is able to be bypassed like that but sometimes i just want to drive in auto, ya know?)
I deactivated the 4 cylinder shut down as its bad for the engine. Didn’t know about the valve issue at all. Hope my shutting down that solves that.
small world that you're driving on roads I'm very familiar with haha. cool video!
Haha hope to see you around sometime!
well he's getting his money's worth...more power to him
I paid 20G$ for 2016 300c Hemi.... seeing this I wish I would’ve found this. He is not lying just finding these with a hemi especially now with all the attention, is hard to find one of these bad boys absolutely!
my next car i want to buy is the 14 300 srt, i love my 07 300 srt8
That engine is going to be wowed
In Australia we can only purchase the 300c SRT, but seriously would get a Challenger if they sold them here, maybe even the Charger. But I still love my 300c, its the ultimate sedan.
Finally more 300 content on youtube
Great owner, great video, and awesome car! Gonna have to disagree and say the CTS-V has a way better interior. That screen that slides up and down is too cool haha
The owner knows his car. And he knows the Chrysler brand.
Buy a diablo sport tuner, disable the mds and you're good to go.
would this problem happen with the 5.7 v8?
@@jaysrt1849 Yes it does. Preventative maintenance is the key.
Such a cool car! I still want one but it is hard to find one in condition. Great video and Tim has a lot of knowledge.
Did they discontinued these type of Chryslers
@@famouslon1538 they stopped selling them after the 2014 model year in the US but still made for the Middle East and Australia but looks like they are stopping production now. I think they should bring it back for 1 year as a special edition.
Would be cool if Tim installed a Hellcat Engine in this SRT 300.
You had me disagreeing about the mopar statement till you said what you said about sticking out and being unique good video I cant wait to get one
I have a 2006 SRT8 300C, it only has 90,000 miles
My challenger is 8 months old and had been to the dealership 5x already. Love the car but will def be buying the 125k 6year bumper to bumper warranty. Waiting on the lemon law check now

Breaking Bad Baby!
My dads 2016 Chrysler 200 has over 150,000 miles on it. It’s a company car so he drives it for work. That’s why it’s such a high mile car.
The best thing to come out of the Daimler-Chrysler merger was the LX platform. It saved Chrysler from bankruptcy early on and got cars out to us cars such as the charger, 300, crossfire and magnum.
Wow this guy really knows this kind of car !!!!
lol your editing and transitions are on point
The CORE model is rare, lighter, faster. As for the fluff features. I have a '15 Core and it has GPS, reverse camera, auto wipers, front and rear sensors, sport/track mode. It's missing the adaptive cruise, blind spot monitoring, dual plane roof, leather seats, cool/hot cup holders, heated seats, 19 speakers. For me, paying an extra $13k for things I don't need made sense. If a car has a V8, and aircon, I'm sold.
PS: In Australia, when ever they tested the performance of these cars, they always use CORES, because they are a little lighter, and faster.
The Core model is a low budget SRT.
I know I'm late on this, but you can deactivate MDS with a tune and it saves you the problem :)
i had a 2012 and hes right dam near ALL the carbon fiber came off in the first 2 years i had it, makes no dam sense. i miss it but had to give it up
I have had mine changed 4 times already on the 2012. LOL! Have 95,000 miles and a 2.9L Whipple ...SRT for Life!
Had a 13' Hemi AWD C model, gave me some problems (under warranty), dealt with lifter fail, about 35k miles, dealer replaced both heads, but really was a great car, would get another, hard to beat its styling, look.
how much in repairs was that? if you know off the top
can't you get around the MDS failure by keeping the vehicle in slapshift and keeping it in sport to avoid 4 cylinder drop?
Not sure why he didnt just use a tuner such as a Diablo Tuner to disable cylinder deactivation (MDS)
Im glad i found someone else that has the same experience i have with the gears. I have a 2007 300 SRT8 and second gear sucks lmao
Tim you’re the man.
Very informative. Thanks

@0:12 155k miles for a 2014😮 i have a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special with 156k miles 👍
My 300 SRT has been sitting since 2018 because of this lifters fail problem. The failed lifter destroyed my cam and crankshaft along with the main seal with heated up over the time driving it and expanded my engine. So my engine has to be replace because I would have major oil leakes. Mopar changed company when they went from 6.1 to 6.2. The 6.1 doesn't have this lifter problem. I had to learn this stuff the hard way. Sad thing is, mopar knew of this problem and didn't do a recall on it.
They didnt change company.
The 6.1 is the superior Engine, 100%. However they wanted to push more HP for NA SRTs. The reason they made the 6.2 (which is as reliable as the 6.1) is because theb 6.4 on top of the lifter issues, cannot take boost. The 6.1 and the 6.2 can, they are designed with SCers in mind, and they can take the boost, better built engines.
@@cyberlocc You sure about that? I was told Chrysler went with a different company for the lifters. Which were cheaper.
@@MrPesante2008 I didn't realize you meant change company for the lifters.
That I am not sure of. However the 5.7 and the 6.4 have the MDS lifter issues, the 6.1 doesn't because it doesn't have MDS nor does the 6.2.
There is another issue with all of them, that someone else brought up as well. Bad oiling in the engine, this presents in all of them, and can cause lifter failure as well as damage to the Cam.
The 6.4 also has too high, and too thin of Ring Lands, that causes the engine to fail quickly when put under boost, this is why the 6.2 was designed, the 6.4s can't handle much boost at all. That is seen from what I have always seen as them cheating out.
@@cyberlocc yeah i heard of the oil situation. That's why I used lucas with all of my oil changes. My mechanic is a retired mopar tech, and he was the one who told me about the lifters company change. I believe that motor can't handle boost because it's not fully forged like the 6.1.
That was a year ago .. what is it up too now .. I’m at 164k still running like a champ
Dude your channel is boss happy I subbed thx for fire content
Where can I get a new cam and lifter cuz I plan on getting one as my first car after years of deciding
I’ve been wanting a 300 SRT8 for a long time now and I totally forgot about the cylinder deactivation…now I’m like 😬
The lifter failure isn’t just for the 6.4 hemi the 5.7 hemi is also plagued with it. I’d buy one and delete that crap right away and enjoy it.

Very, very informative. Thanks....
Not MDS lifter which has early life failure, it’s any lifter. Happens in non MDS 6.4 and MDS equipped 6.4 built pre 2016. Any one of 16 roller lifter can fail typically around 75k miles. In fact, it’s too small needle bearings used in early lifter roller. Don’t last. Lifter roller needle bearings freezes, collapse, jam without notice and locked roller goes on to slowly wipe cam lobe from metal to metal friction. May not even know it until it’s too late, when engine develops misfire. From 2016, lifters were revised in 6.4 with thicker meatier roller needle bearings. Problem solved.
Was there ever a recall for them?
@@i3oosted nope. Recall represent safety issue. If anything lifters were evolution of design improvements when things don’t go distance.
