2010 Chrysler 300 — 5.7L

The 2010 Chrysler 300 sits in a comparative trough for complaint volume at 137, a notable improvement over the 2005–2008 peak years (623–1,750 complaints) and only slightly above the 2009 low of 95, before complaints rise again to 200 in 2011 and peak mid-generation at 424 in 2012. Its seven recalls match the 2005 and 2011 totals but exceed the 2009 count of five, while its 81 TSBs align with 2008 levels and remain well below the 177–353 range seen from 2011 onward. The top complaint categories — Air Bags (52), Electrical System (19), and Engine (8) — account for the majority of reports, with 13 crash and 6 fire complaints recorded; the data does not specify root causes for these issues. Across the generation, the federal record shows an early surge, a sharp drop by 2009–2010, a mid-cycle resurgence through 2014, and a sustained decline thereafter. The 2010 model year benefits from this post-early-generation stabilization but precedes a period of elevated TSB activity and rising complaints. For a used buyer, 2010 represents a relatively quiet year in the federal record, though the seven recalls and air bag complaint concentration warrant verification of completed remedy work before purchase.
