4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The most notable pattern in 2020 Chrysler 300 complaints centers on the airbag system, which draws the highest share of reports. Owners describe airbags deploying spontaneously with no collision or impact, a curtain airbag on the passenger side deploying while parked, and a driver's airbag deploying with no one in the vehicle. One report also describes a passenger airbag with a visible hole. A single report mentions the sun visor catching fire, though the cause was undetermined. On the infotainment side, one owner reports the LCD touchscreen delaminating, which disrupts climate control, navigation, radio, and hands-free functions, with the system randomly changing settings and beeping on its own. With only ten total complaints for this model year, the airbag spontaneous-deployment reports are the clearest recurring thread.

With Injuries
By System
The 2020 Chrysler 300 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the side curtain airbag inflators, which can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death to occupants.
The remaining two recalls both concern the windshield, which on certain vehicles may not have been properly bonded to the body during manufacturing. In a crash, a poorly secured windshield can pull away from the vehicle, removing a critical barrier between occupants and the outside and raising the risk of injury. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, as separate campaigns address this same bonding problem across the affected model years.
