After my car had been sitting at work for about 10 hours, i found that i was unable to get my car out of park. the shifter was locked up, and would not move into gear. i googled the issue, and found that there was an under designed plastic piece in the shifter assembly located under the shift knob that was known to break and cause this issue. i had to tear apart my center console and use a screw driver to manually pull on a cable in order to unlock the shifter and allow me to get out of park. had i not had the correct tools in my vehicle, i would have been stuck. i had the part replaced, but experienced a second occurrence about 4 months later. this time i found that my car was stuck in gear. i was freely able to move between drive, neutral, and reverse, but was unable to move the shifter into park. to add to the head ache, because the touring edition has a slap stick function (similar to a manual transmission car), putting the vehicle in gear does not cause the transmission to lock up. this fact, compounded by the fact that the parking brake did not supply sufficient stopping power to hold the car at a standstill on even a mild grade slope, i was unable to secure the vehicle from rolling away unless on a completely flat surface. i had to place wood blocks under the wheels to avoid the car from rolling away. *tr

On yesterday i pulled into my driveway after picking up my seven year old son from school put my car into park and the exhaust fan explored. the blades hit the radiator so hard it put a hole in it. the fluid from the radiator poured out onto the drive. all i could do was sit and thank god it didn't happen the day before because i was out of town and i had to replace the shift lock in this same car as it was struck in park. what's next????? how many people have to complain about these two problems before a recall is issued. clearly this is a problem with all these cars. *tr

Had to move car off block due to street repairs beginning. when i went to drive it to work, car will not go out of park position. also, in 2009, i took car to dealer on kirkwood hwy in wilmington, de. i told them that when the car goes above 60 mph, the esc light comes on, car slows down to an exact stop. this happens...as you guess it....in the middle of traffic. dealer says they haven't experienced it, in my car and through any complaints. *tr

I had driven my car home from work, i was on the street i live on and waiting for an ambulance to clear the entrance to my drive way so i could park. i put my car in park at the direction of the emergency response team, once the emergency vehicle had cleared the entrance i was unable to shift my car back in to drive, or reverse. it was stuck in the park position. i had to call a tow truck to move my vehicle from the road in order not to block traffic, i was also slightly in the lane of on coming traffic due to the placement of the emergency vehicles at the time (i live in an assisted living facility, it is normal for the emergency vehicles to be present on and around the property and they often direct other vehicles outside of the normal flow of traffic.) after this incident i found chrysler had recalled several vehicles of the same make, model and year as mine. however the manufacturer informed me that my vin number was not on the list, even though i had the same exact issue, chrysler claimed this to be coincidental. had my vehicle been hit while blocking traffic, would chrysler then fix this issue? would the government require them to address this issue if someone does get hurt? what has to happen before they are held responsible for the product that has clearly had the same defect they already know exists? i am appalled that they can knowingly have a defective product and claim it to be coincidental. on top of that, they profit from selling the replacement part, the labor and they don't cover the towing expense to have it repaired, since i was unable to drive my vehicle to the dealership. didn't our tax dollars recently go to a bail out? would be nice to have a company that wants to ensure their products are safe and operating in a correct manner. extremely disappointed. *tr
