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; spark plugs every 100,000 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 2022 Chrysler 300 sits at the low end of a long downward trend in owner complaints. After the high-volume launch years of 2005–2008, which saw 1,125 to 1,750 complaints annually, the model line matured and complaint volume dropped sharply from 2015 onward. The 2022 model recorded just 5 complaints, 2 recalls, 0 investigations, and 172 TSBs—the lowest complaint count among the full production years shown and down from 2021's 19 complaints, while 2023 registered 6 complaints and 1 recall. Reported 2022 issues were scattered across air bags (2 complaints), power train/electrical system, service brakes, and an unspecified category, with 2 crash-related complaints and no fire complaints; the data does not specify root causes. This late-generation position and minimal complaint volume place it near the most trouble-free end of the model's federal record. For a used-car buyer, the 2022 Chrysler 300 appears to be one of the safer model years in this record, provided any outstanding recalls are verified and resolved.
