NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant pattern in 2019 Chrysler 300 complaints centers on the airbag system, which accounts for the large majority of reports filed for this model year. Owners frequently describe concerns about airbag readiness and deployment behavior, with several reports noting unexpected warning light activity and system faults. The electrical system draws the next cluster of complaints, where owners describe intermittent warning messages, false door-ajar indicators triggering interior lights and dash alerts, and general electrical gremlins that surface while driving. A smaller group of complaints touches on exterior lighting. A handful of reports also describe transmission-related behavior, including hard shifting, unexpected gear engagement, and sudden deceleration associated with an automatic park function activating without driver input, in some cases tied to a powertrain fault code.
