363-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD
| 30000 mi | Noisy strut |
| 18000 mi | Clunking in front end. Dealer replaced Lower Control arm and suspension arm. Clunking now even worse, probably sway bar bushings. |
| 20000 mi | Took my 300C back for clunking in the front end. Kept it a week, tightened all front end parts. Clunk is 90% better but not gone. Service Mgr heard the clunk but only on rough roads. They have done their best. I suspect wrong size sway bar bushings. |
