Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The Chrysler 300's federal record shows a significant long-term decline in complaints, falling from a peak of 1,750 in 2006 to much lower levels in the late 2010s. The 2019 model year fits this downward trend, reporting 60 complaints and 2 recalls, a marked decrease from the 152 complaints and 4 recalls recorded in 2018. The most frequent issues for 2019 involve Air Bags with 22 complaints and the Electrical System with 5, though some complaints are listed as "Unknown Or Other" where the data does not specify a root cause. While 2019 is more stable than earlier years, it is slightly less so than 2020, which saw complaints drop further to 10. With 269 Technical Service Bulletins and a very low recall count relative to the generation's early history, this is a good year to buy.
