HEMI V8 engines (5.7L, 6.4L) use 16 spark plugs — two per cylinder. Budget accordingly, and change them every 30,000 miles.
$100 – $350
Many FCA vehicles have the battery under the passenger seat or in the trunk. Replacement requires removing seats or trim panels.
$100 – $300
FCA vehicles are known for premature alternator failure, often around 80,000 miles. Keep a portable jump starter in the vehicle.
$300 – $800
FCA vehicles (2011-2015) have TIPM issues that can mimic fuel pump failure. The fuel pump relay in the TIPM fails, preventing the pump from running. TIPM replacement ($800-$1,500) is the fix, not the pump itself.
$400 – $1,000
The 300 was a comfortable highway cruiser. Now discontinued, it's available only used. The 300S and 300C with the 5.7L HEMI are the most desirable. Avoid 2011-2015 models for TIPM issues. The 2015-2023 models with the ZF 8-speed are decent after software updates. Budget for suspension maintenance — the 300 is heavy and eats bushings. Depreciation is extreme, making it a cheap used luxury sedan.
