Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler 300. while attempting to switch gears, the vehicle would not shift out of park. after several attempts, the vehicle shifted out of park and was driven to mark's casa chrysler jeep (9733 coors blvd nw, albuquerque, nm). the dealer determined that the shifter lock needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 41,108.

While getting on the freeway, at approx. 50 mph the car would not shift into next gear. rpm was 4500-5000 (as though possibly stuck in overdrive). i decelerated hoping it would compute the need to shift. it didn't. i tried accelerating slowly and still didnt shift. i slowed down, put emergency flashers on and took the next exit 1/4 mile or less away. since the light was red at the exit , i tried putting car into park and then back into drive to see if it would ('reset'), instead the shift selector was stuck in park. light turned green and i couldn't get it in drive, couldn't move. after several attempts it finally went into drive. when i got off work, same thing...stuck in park. after 4th try, i was able to get it in reverse, then into drive. i made it home without getting on freeway, parked the car 3 days ago and have not driven it since then. the car was already scheduled for recall repairs at dealership for tomorrow. hopefully i can get it there. (i bought this car a week ago)

On this chrysler 300 2005 the current safety problem is an inability to move the gear shift lever (floor shifter) out of the "park" position. the car's engine was turned off, parked in driveway of the home, stationary. the car was turned on with key, started the engine to on, and could not move the shift lever out of the "park" position. car's engine was turned off. car was left in driveway stationary. this happened around 2:30pm in the afternoon on 04-24-2019, wednesday.

When driving the car on the city street (or anywhere), it jerks violently as it shifts from first gear into second gear. according to the dealership, this is a known issue that requires a software update that was released back in 2006. but of course, no recall was issued and i was never made aware of the issue by the manufacturer or the dealership (even thought i've owned the car for 11 years).

The shifter is stuck in park? this started off happening on occasion. but now has progressed to almost a permanent situation. this causes a hazard because in order to not being able to avoid being stranded. i have no choice but to leave the vehicle in neutral and put on the parking brake. running the risk of the car rolling and causing a collision. crysler needs to address this situation. as i'm aware that it's a defective plastic part causing this problem. it is also a problem that spans for several years of this shifting system.

The transmission shifter lever was stuck in park and would not move. the dealer says i need a new shifter. this problem seems identical to recall k39 transmission shifter interlock lever but for some reason my car is not included in the recal. i suspect this is an oversight. i will updload the documentation from the dealer when i get it but at the moment the part is on back order.
