2017 Chrysler 300 Owner Complaints

Electrical system complaints dominate the 2017 Chrysler 300 owner reports, followed by a notable cluster around structural concerns. On the electrical side, owners frequently describe the instrument panel cluster going dark or failing intermittently, sometimes repeatedly within short periods even after dealer visits. Airbag warning lights are also a recurring complaint, with several owners reporting that dealers traced the issue to the seatbelt harness or buckle assembly, a part some describe as difficult to source. A handful of owners report the airbag system itself behaving unexpectedly, including deployment during low-speed impacts. Structural complaints make up the second-largest named category, though the reported symptoms vary enough that no single failure mode stands out clearly across that group. One isolated report describes the electronic parking brake failing to hold, causing the vehicle to roll forward unexpectedly. The seatbelt harness and airbag warning light pairing appears across multiple complaints and is the most consistent pattern in this complaint set.
