| My 2007 chrysler 300 base model has a defect where i get stuck in park and cannot get out of this position on my shift panel. i contacted my dealership and they explained to me that its a small cheap plastic part that broken off and disengaged my shift controls. now i am very dissapointed in purchasing this vehicle and will never buy any dodge make ever because of this. i would like there to be a recall on all these kinds of makes so i would be stuck with a $200 problem that can just decide to come out of nowhere. i hope my voice is heard and if i am not regared after this complaint i will bevery dissapointed. regards customer | |||

| I just purchased my car in late april it is now november. i didn't notice the brake problem which is a vibration when i came to a stop, until a week after. i figured i probably need new brake pads. one of my least concerns. but last month i began to smell gas. i thought it was just the other vehicles around me or the location i was at. i looked under the car and there's was no leak. i kept doing this when i smelled gas and nothing. last night november 6 2011, i filled up my tank to go out of town. when i was leaving to go back home from the long ride, the parking area smelled like gas! it was leaking from my car! about a quarter of gas leaked. this time i saw a puddle on the ground where the back passenger side would be. not only was this embarrassing but i had my wife and child with me in the car that i had to take home smelling this as well as taking the risk of blowing up! we did not have any other way of getting home, that's why i had no choice and took the risk. thank god we got home safe. this is just ridiculous. | |||
