How many miles will a 2008 Chrysler 300C last?
The 14 mileages owners gave run from 20,000 to 275,000 miles, and half are at or under 119,000. With fewer than 20 mileages this page gives the median only: the other percentiles are too few to say. 10 came after 100,000 miles, 5 after 150,000 and 1 after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2008 Chrysler 300C wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Is the 2008 Chrysler 300C a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2008 is a good or a bad Chrysler 300C: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2008 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 30 complaints, the 2008 ranks 5th of the 11 Chrysler 300C model years from 2005 to 2015 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2006 (698). The fewest: the 2010 (10).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 Chrysler 300C | 288 | 237 | 80,000 |
| 2006 Chrysler 300C | 698 | 592 | 76,500 |
| 2007 Chrysler 300C | 112 | 93 | 64,000 |
| 2008 (this page) | 30 | 14 | 119,000 |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2008 Chrysler 300C lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2008 Chrysler 300C.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 16 of the 30 complaints on the 2008 Chrysler 300C give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: 300C. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: 300C.
