NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The dominant complaint pattern for the 2021 Chrysler 300 centers on the airbag and restraint system, which draws the most reports by a clear margin. Owners frequently describe concerns with airbag deployment or readiness, along with a smaller cluster of seat belt complaints, at least one owner reports a driver-side belt physically breaking apart. The engine category also draws a handful of reports, with owners describing stalling while driving or stopped, rough idle, and oil consumption without a check engine light appearing. The stalling complaints note it happening at low speeds, at traffic lights, and on the highway. With only 19 total complaints on file, this is a relatively thin complaint set, so none of these patterns carry especially high volume, the airbag and restraint complaints are notable mainly because they outpace the other categories.
