that's good news to me I have an 08 with a 5.7 hemi. haven't had any troubles it does seem to have a little bit of a tick now and then specially when cold but it does have about 210,000 miles on it currently

Thanks for that - I had the same question. Bought my wife a 2007 Chrysler 300C with the 5.7 in 2009 with 58k miles. We're at just over 200k now and it's been the best vehicle I've ever bought. Trouble free and very reliable - regular maintenance and worn steering/drivetrain items is all it's needed.
