| I went to drive the vehicle one day and it wouldn't shift out of park. i did considerable research online and found numerous reports of the same thing happening. the reported issue is that the transmission gear shift lever interlock spring breaks resulting in the vehicle being stuck in park. i found a temporary bypass method until i could get it repaired. online, i found that there was a possible recall: chrysler customer satisfaction notification k39. i called chrysler recall assistance center and they advised that although there is a recall on some vehicles, my vin # was not included in the recall group, therefore i had to pay for the repair myself. i also searched on this website, and found another report of the same type: odi id number : 10470372. it is quite dissatisfied that i have to pay for the repairs myself when there is a recall for the exact same problem and based on my internet research this seems to be a widespread, common problem. i was fortunate that this happened at my house where i had access to the internet to research and locate a bypass and had tools available to dismantle the shifter assembly to access the bypass. this could cause a huge safety issue if somebody were to get stuck in a bad location and had to wait for a tow truck or some other method of help to arrive. *tr | |||
