Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger door panels deformed: lawsuit
Class-action lawsuit alleges deformed door panels in Dodge Charger and Chrysler vehicles caused trouble. November 12, 2024 — Deformed door panels on 2014-2019 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models led owners to file a class-action lawsuit in California four years ago. The Fiat Chrysler door panel lawsuit is still in the courts, but is currently in the District Court of Michigan, where certain claims remain. According to the lawsuit, the door panels of the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 deformed and separated from the frame. Additionally, the class action lawsuit claims that door panel deformation is not the entire problem. The owners who filed the lawsuit claim the deformation affected the door panels, center consoles, dashboards and kick panels of the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300. The plaintiff claims that once the panel began to deform, it separated from the vehicle. According to the property owner who filed the lawsuit: "The interior panels are bonded to the frame with adhesive.…
1963 Chrysler 300 Pace Setter
Detroit has a history Finding a good thing and then ruining it is fair. In recent years, one might argue that the four-door Dodge Charger and Ford Mustang Mach-E qualify, but our pick of the day is perhaps the most famous postwar example: the Chrysler 300. This 1963 Chrysler 300 Pace Setter convertible is listed on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Novato, California. (Click the link to view the listing.) The 300 traces its origins to the ultimate banker hot rod of the 1950s: the Chrysler Alphabet series. Starting in 1955, the C-300's 300-hp 331ci was the best in the business, and its styling—Chrysler's forward-looking style combined with an Empire grille—was spot-on. If anything, it was a bomb, surpassed only by subsequent versions starting with the 1956 300-B, which offered 340 hp or an optional 354 hp version, truly delivering one horsepower per cubic inch. When the 300-E arrived in 1959, it was part of Chrysler's wave of replacing…

The infotainment systems installed in Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler 300 vehicles are said to be defective. September 13, 2024 — As multiple Chrysler Uconnect lawsuits have been dismissed over the past few years, this one will continue to make its way through the courts. After four years of trial, the lawsuit still has not been certified as a class action. The Uconnect lawsuit alleges that the defective infotainment systems were installed in 2017 through 2019 Chrysler Pacifica and 2017 through 2019 Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Uconnect system's backup camera and navigation system are said to be faulty, and owners have also complained about the infotainment system suddenly freezing or the screen going black. FCA allegedly knew before the vehicles were first sold that the Uconnect infotainment system would require frequent software updates and expensive replacements of Uconnect screens and related components. As repeated in every auto class action lawsuit in the U.S., the plaintiffs claim that "had FCA disclosed the…

AutoHunter Spotlight: 1963 Chrysler 300-J
Featured Car Hunter Networkan online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com, is this 1963 Chrysler 300-J. The Chrysler 300 series sedans in many ways created the muscle car market, although the 300 series was very different from them. Unlike mid-range spec models, they were top-of-the-line models with many standard features that weren't even optional on later muscle cars. Of all the 300 "letter" cars, the 300-J is extremely rare, with only 400 built during the 1963 production run. The J cars also stood out because they featured Chrysler's top-spec twin-quad 413ci Firepower V8 engines that produced 390 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 485 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm. This gave the car incredible performance for the time, with a tested top speed of 142 mph, a 0-60 mph time of 8.0 seconds, and the ability to run the quarter mile in 15.8 seconds. This 1963 300-J is described as being powered by the original "FirePower 390" 413ci V8 engine, mated…
2008 Chrysler 300 Convertible Modification
this Daily Selection It's a 2008 Chrysler 300 Convertible listed on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in Connecticut. In the mid-2000s, two DaimlerChrysler models were everywhere: the Dodge Ram 1500 came with 20-inch chrome wheels, and the Chrysler 300 returned for the 2005 model year. It wasn't long before people started customizing the new 300. As this 2008 model shows, someone even turned one of the sedans into a convertible. If the '80s were Chrysler's K-car era and the '90s its cab-forward era, the 21st century could be considered its reinvention. Dodge entered the supertruck arena with the V10-powered Ram SRT-10 Viper. The Viper itself entered the next generation, sharper looking and more powerful. Chrysler reintroduced the 300, a cruiser-like tough guy with slab sides, a seemingly chopped-off roof, rear-wheel drive, and an optional 5.7-liter V8 Hemi engine. Right out of the gate, it had the presence and authority of a gangster. It looked special and glamorous. Thanks to its merger…
