2007 Chrysler 300 — 6.1L

Compared with 2006, the 2007 Chrysler 300 saw federal consumer complaints drop sharply from 1,750 to 623, while recalls ticked up from four to five and investigations fell from four to three. The following year, 2008, recorded 758 complaints, four recalls, and one investigation, so 2007 sits at a low point in the early-model complaint wave but still carries a moderate recall burden. Across the federal record, the arc peaks in 2005–2006, declines through 2007–2009, then enters a second, more TSB-heavy cycle from 2010–2014 before tapering in later years. In 2007, the largest complaint categories were Power Train (197) and Air Bags (133), with 22 crash-related and 15 fire-related complaints; the data does not specify root causes. Because 2007 marks a clear downswing from the worst early years and its complaint count is well below the 2005–2006 peak, it looks like a comparatively safer vintage within this generation, provided buyers confirm the five recalls and any related service have been completed.
