Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 300 6.4L.
The 2014 Chrysler 300 6.4L is a passenger car built on the LX platform, pairing its 6.4-liter engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and returning EPA ratings of 19 city, 30 highway, and 23 combined mpg. Service specifications call for 7.0 quarts of 0W-40 API oil, the kind of detail that frames the vehicle for researchers building maintenance profiles. Across the 300's 2004–2023 complaint history, the 2014 model year tallies 236 owner reports, with power train as the leading issue area and eight recalls on file—well below the model's 2006 peak of 1,750 complaints. For a researcher, that positioning makes 2014 a comparatively restrained data point in an otherwise uneven reliability arc, even though power train remains the dominant fault category.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2014 Chrysler 300 sits within a generation that saw complaint volumes peak early, with 2012 recording 424 complaints and 9 recalls, then trend downward. By 2014, complaints had dropped to 236, continuing the decline, yet the model year still logged 8 recalls—the second-highest in the generation—and 311 TSBs, indicating persistent service bulletins. The top complaint areas were power train (52) and electrical system (45), with 22 crash-related and 4 fire-related complaints, though the data does not specify root causes. Compared to later years like 2015 (97 complaints, 5 recalls) and 2016 (76 complaints, 3 recalls), the 2014 model shows higher recall activity and more reported issues. While it represents an improvement over the 2012 peak, the elevated recall count suggests a 2014 Chrysler 300 may carry more unresolved risk than subsequent model years, making a 2015 or newer a potentially safer bet.
