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; 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.

Across this generation, complaints peaked dramatically in the early launch years (1,750 in 2006) and again during the redesigned 2011–2012 period (424 in 2012), followed by a steady decline through the mid-2010s. The 2015 model year sits in the favorable tail of that arc, with just 97 federal complaints — a sharp drop from 236 in 2014 and only modestly above the 76 recorded for 2016 — while recalls hold at a moderate five and investigations remain at two, consistent with the surrounding years. Notably, TSBs peak at 353 in 2015, the highest count in the entire generation, indicating that by this point the manufacturer had accumulated extensive service documentation for known issues, which can benefit a used buyer through more readily available diagnostic and repair guidance. The top complaint areas — Power Train (16), Unknown or Other (15), Steering (5), and Electrical System (5) — are relatively modest in volume, and the data does not specify root causes for any of them. With nine crash complaints and one fire complaint, the safety-related figures are low but not negligible. Overall, the 2015 Chrysler 300 represents one of the stronger years in the generation's later arc: low complaint volume, a mature TSB library, and moderate recall activity make it a reasonable used purchase, provided a pre-sale inspection addresses the power train and steering areas that dominate the complaint record.
