| The chrysler 300 would not shift out of park. after some research online it was determined that the transmission shifter interlock shifter lever was broken. there is also a k-39 recall issued by chrysler but my car does not fall under it. i spoke to chrysler and they are not willing to fix it. it is a safety issue because the spring that is broken prevents the car from being shifted out of park if the brake is not pressed. | |||

| The vehicle cannot be moved into any gear out of park because the park interlock system or pink thingy is broken. apparently chrysler has issued a recall on some vehicles for this problem but my vin was not included according to the customer service. | |||

| Gear shift stuck in park. the interlock return spring hook is broken. i have to press a pink lever under gear shift to get out of park. i had to take console apart to get to leaver. i am finding out that some vehichles have a recall on this defect and others do not. i am told that vehichles made in certain factorys have recalls. why is that fair that although mine was not made in a certain factory, but is still broke, it will not be repaired? i have purchased many chrysler products in the past and have been very complimentary of my chrysler 300 except for this issue. | |||

| In reference to my 2005 chrysler 300 - i went out to drive my car and it would not shift out of park. i found out it was a small pin in the shifter mechanism. as i researched online, i found this problem to be wide spread with chrysler 300 owners. the dealership knew what i was talking about the minute i described the problem. they said it is very common and they see this regularly. they also said that chrysler does not sell that particular part separately and the only way to fix it is to replace the entire unit. lastly, the dealership even questioned why this problem hasn't been recalled. i also called chrysler customer service to explain my problem (and mounting cost to tow my car and have it fixed). before i got the description out of my mouth, he said your car won't shift out of park - right? i said yes and he told me he hears it all the time. that chrysler has recalled this problem on a few years, but not most of them and not mine. he said he doesn't know why it hasn't been recalled, but he suggested i send a letter to them along with my bills. he didn't know if they'd pay, but it was better than nothing. he told me to reach out to your organization and see what you all said. | |||

| Without any warning the gear shift would not move out of park. i had the vehicle towed to the shop and found that i had to replaced the gear shifter component in my chrysler 300 vehicle. i later found out that this part has been recalled on other dodge and chrsyler vehicles, but not on mine. now today my car is showing symptoms that the gear boc may be failing again. the key will not come out of the ignition because the gear is not go holding property in park. i am going to take the car to a chrysler dealership and see if chrysler will fix it. i repaired the vehicle less than 5 months ago. *tr | |||

| Air bag light came on, brought the car to the dealer, they said it was a faulty air bag in the steering wheel. this car has never had the air bag deployed. they replaced the air bag for $690.00. a week or so later the light came on again, brought it back to the dealer and they said it was the airbag sensor, to the tune of $263.00. *tr | |||
