Looking back through this forum has been a hoot. From early doomsaying about the 300C's expected service longevity based on the flexible plastic nose & tail, to comparisons of NASCAR performance as if it related to the real world. I've had my 300C since June of 05 & it just now ticked 74,000 on the digital odometer. Three years without a significant problem (biggest bug is that silly auto-trans inspection plug that leaks periodically). This is good & bad news -- I sprang for the 7 year 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper extended warranty (although I got it at dealer cost). The Conti tires suck, but Chrysler doesn't make those. Eventually there were a few rattles in the back end -- I found that the plastic fender liners can flex sufficiently to hit the exhaust pipes -- the home made fix is rubber stoppers stuck onto the metal underbody & the fender liner with industrial contact cement -- no more rattles. With good winter tires the car is really good in snow & way more fun than front or all-wheel drivers. I have never been stuck & I have never "lost it". The much-maligned soft plastic body parts are still in perfect shape & the car still could pass for new -- gleaming paint, tight body, smooth running, still-perfectly supportive seats. My old 99 Concord LXi now has 237,000 showing & is beginning to give trouble -- I will replace it with another 300 -- maybe a Limited this time -- or even a yr-old 300C at a lower price than a new Limited. Whatever I buy to replace the Concord, the 05 300C stays -- it is an awesome ride, has been a tremendous value & is still like a new car.

I see that someone has filed a Class Action Lawsuit against Continental Tire - stating that they failed to disclose that their tires would incur abnormal and premature treadwear. From comments in this forum, I knew the Conti's were not a great tire. When I bought my '07 C, I had them switch the tires to Goodyear Assurance, which I had on my 300M, Great tires, great car! You should be getting the Notice of Class Action shortly. I received mine today.

When you change the air cleaner filter, do you have to remove the inlet hose, or can you just lift the cover and put the new filter in? Thanks...
