| The pink plastic shift interlock latch broke. the plastic breaks from continual foreseeable use. failure causes the inability to move the shifting mechanism out of park and thus drive the vehicle. according to youtube.com [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uamy_m7ttk], this seems to occur on 2006 and 2007 models. i am not certain, but 2008 and newer models have a part that is green and does not seem as likely to break. furthermore, mileage or age does not appear to be a factor. mine broke before 75,000 miles and slightly after 6 years. dorman makes an metal aluminum replacement part ranging from $22 to $40 depending on the retailer. online is less expensive. the fact that there is a metal, durable replacement part is evidence that this is an increasing problem. moreover, it is believed that chrysler knows of this problem and has failed to recall its vehicles. furthermore, after calling chrysler 800 customer service # (reference #22152872), i was informed that there was no recall on my specifc car, that chrysler would not even consider covering the cost unless i first went to a chrysler dealership at which a certified chrysler mechanic would have to confirm that the pink plastic shift interlock latch was the issue. diagnostic alone costs $150, but may be applied to repairs. i then called the chysler dealership in tustin, ca and a servicing manager informed me that he was aware of the issue, but had yet to see chrylser cover the estimated $500 cost even though the replacement part is $22 to $40. this is a products liability case: chyrsler is (1) a commercial supplier of a (2) defective designed product under the consumer expectation, risk-utility, and the feasible alternative tests and is the (3) actual and (4) proximate cause of the defect which causes property damages. there are no applicable defenses. this also a potential class action lawsuit. | |||

| Shifter would not go out of park!(problem is a recall) however, when i contacted chrysler they informed me that my vehicle was not on the list as a recall. therefore, they would not pay for this issue in full. my vehicle is a 2006 chrysler 300 and i don't understand why my vehicle did not receive a notice in regards to this defect. i don't think that it is fair for some vehicles with this recall to receive free repairs and others don't. chrysler would not pay for my vehicle to be repaired in full and i was required to pay $100.00 deductible. this is beyond belief. this repair should have been covered in full by chrysler because it is a recall. it doesn't matter if my vehicle was made in a plant in alabama or north carolina. a recall is a recall. especially if the problem is the same. chrysler needs to step it, stop being so rude to customers when they call in and stop denying issues. peoples lives depend on it. then on top of that, the csr expedited my issue up to a manager, they did not like the fact that i called to check the status of the outcome. they kept saying it takes 24 busines hours...they didn't care that i didn't have a way to work and they handled the situation very lightly with no compassion. as soon as i can get a different vehicle, i will. i will never buy another chrysler product. their service suck and the never want to take ownership of any issues. very, very, very dissatisfied chrysler owner!!!!!!! | |||

| Yesterday, i came out to my chrysler 300 (2006) to start it and the gear shifts would not work. i could not put the car into drive, neutral, reverse or any other shift. when i notified a chrysler dealer about it i was told that there had in fact been many vehicles with this same problem and they had been recalled. however, when he looked up my vehicle, although it had the same problem was not on the recall list. when i notified chrysler headquarters, they told me the reason was because it was not built in one of the plants the other vehicles were built in. further more they told me that because my warranty had expired i was unable to get any help. also because the previous owner may have caused the damage. so when i called them the next day to see if this decision could be overturned they told me my case was closed and would not be reopened. now, i am stuck paying the bill to get my car fixed in addition to facing a loss for work. | |||
