The manufacturer made the shift interlock latch out of plastic and it breaks when you put the car in park it will stick in park leaving you stranded.
Vehicle intermittently stalls when slowing down to stop or slowing down to turn a corner. all power shuts down and check fuel light comes on. check engine light does not come on. has only happened with a partial tank of gas-never with a full tank - remaining mileage has been between 75 and 123 miles left. has only happened at slow speed. dealer has worked on it 4 times each time closing ticket as fixed except for the last time . have talked to service director about problem with no results. vehicle has 123000 miles.
I was going up a hill n didnt out of no where it started to sound the motor then more power i added the sound sound more loud n didnt wanna move, i stop to check n they to turn it on but it didnt want to work but at the end it did for 30 second
The transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook on about 28,800 of the above vehicle broke. a broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the 'park' position. there is a recall for customer satisfaction notification k39 transmission shifter interlock lever for the following vehicle which is the same as mine but the "lx": 2005 - 2007 (lx) dodge charger, magnum and chrysler 300. why does the same problem, with the same automobile, with the same year does not apply to a "sl"? how much do i have to spend to repair a manufacturing malfunction for something that should be a recall. i parked my car and on my way to work i could not move the gear, it stuck to p.
Broken transmission shift interlock latch. failure of this poorly made plastic piece is very common in the chrysler 300, and chrysler should do a defect and recall about this problem. but, chrysler does not sell this part alone, they sell the whole shifter box for over 200 dollars.
Stationary gear shift stuck in park exactly as hundreds of other 300 owners
Gear shift stuck in park consistent with hundreds of other chrysler 300 owners
Car was working find and then decided to go from 55mph to 25 mph on the bypass with no warning. now it won't go pass 25 mph
My car was stuck in park and would not move. the tow truck had to drag my car out of a parking space because it is rear wheel drive and shifter was locked and broken.i had to replace the entire gear shifter assembly costing over $500.00. i have receipts and broken parts and chrysler only has recalls for only certain years and vin. #. ridiculous!
My vehicle suddenly shuts down after a short period of driving it has stopped several times in the middle of traffic and needless to say i was berated and once even threatened as several other vehicles could not pass this could cause an accident or someones life
Car was working just fine. parked it and came back to it to leave and it wouldn't shift out of park. no warning, no indication of a problem, and no loose or broken gear shift and in a split second, has left me stranded. even though the k39 notification from chrysler states that my year and make vehicle was included, they won't honor it under the recall because they said that it only covered 30,000 vehicles and my vin wasn't included. i explained that this is happening to my vehicle too but they won't cover it.
Gear shift is stuck in park, will not move, not even the over ride button
Car has stopped while i was driving in a city street about 35 miles speed limit without warning. what worries me is that my 3 year old rides with me. i don't want it to cause an accident since i'm going the speed limit then all of a sudden it just shuts off causing me to stop at a halt. i haven't seen or received any recall about this that's why i'm reporting it. if you can please look into this everyone affected would appreciate it. i saw an online thread about similar complains. 2 lights also come on on the dash.
When driving my car to take my daughter to school in the mornings, when backing out of the drive way, coming to a stop at a stop light my car will completely shut off. when i start it back up and take off the car will sound like it will want to cut off again and start jerking. this is very unsafe. someone can hit me from behind if car just stops in the middle of the road.
Wouldn't shift out of park. had to get towed.
The hose running from the transmission was too close to the belt and it rubbed it until it wore a whole affecting a whole shut down of the car.
Takata recall , security system shuts down car i was at the gas station and the security system shut the whole car down as well as the and a ignition repair the car blocked the remote key from starting it and just would not click when turning the key would not crank, lights stop coming on the only thing it would do is chime when the driver door was open and this happen to me on the way home from work on the high way , breaks when applying the emergency break the car still this happened when i parked in the drive way and the drive way is a little slope moves
Vehicle would not go out of park. vehicle was parked in our driveway. we were able to override the return spring with a screwdriver to get the vehicle out of park and to the garage and it was the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring. the is a chrysler k39 recall on 2005 to 2007 chrylser 300 but was told by chrysler its vin specific and our vin doesnt pertain to the recall. i put in a complaint with chrylser and claim number is 29857913. i would like to see how i can get our vehicle added to the list of covered cars that have had the same problem. this was a costly repair and should be included in the k39 recall.
Car will not shift out of park and did my own research to find out it's common on chryslers. why hasn't this been recalled?
I am unable to get the gear shift out of park. we have tried both of the shift override buttons and nothing is working. i just had the car at the dealership last week for the airbag recall as well as a couple of shock issues on the trunk and hood. they also replaced the power steering hose, as they said it was leaking. i drove the car home, parked it in the garage and now it will not come out of park. i can't help but think they messed something up when they replaced the power steering hose. the towing company (aaa) says they haul about 5 - 6 of this exact issue each month!
Takata recall i was driving on the street when my car shut off on me i then attempted to turn the car back on and it wouldnt budge my dashboard lights flicker on and off i constantly had to get a jump untill it wouldnt want to power on anymore
The vehicle stalls in motion and when at idle after i get gas. this happens every time now, since january 25, 2016 it did not happen before this date.
While driving in traffic my car loss power. then again while driving in highway traffic at a speed of 60 mph the car loss power. when this happend i was able to pull off onto the side of the road. it was hard to steer because it had no power. i had to restart the car by turning the key on as if it had never been in the on position. now this has happend three more times in the past week. i looked to see if there had been problems reported and i found that there was but not on the 2006 model. it is champaign #14v567000, electrical system ignition for models made may 31, thru may 12, 2007.
My 2006 chrysler 300 stalls at random times. it has stalled while i'm driving over 45mph, around a curve, stopped at a light and driving slowly through a parking lot. it doesn't just stall, it stalls over and over again. when it stalled this morning around a curve, i had great difficulty controlling the steering so that i didn't go into the ditch or into an oncoming vehicle. this is extremely dangerous. i have read many discussions online about the chrysler 300 vehicles stalling, and having no indication from dash lighting that it's going to happen. technicians cannot find any apparent reason for the stalls because it does not show up as code when connected to a computer. this has been ongoing for 4 weeks and has gotten to the point that i no longer feel safe driving the car at all.
I can not get my car out of park i had it towed to chrysler. i see that many chrysler 300 have this problem but when i input my vin. this is not showing as a recall for my car. i cannot afford to fix, why are some chryslers covered but mine isn't !!! .....they need to fix all since admittedly it is a problem pls help!

Car was in the shop at the event time. i got called because my chrysler 300 2006 would not move from park position. will cost $435.95 to replace the gear assembly. this happened while in their care. called chrysler headquarters and will not make it good on their end. even as many 300's of 2006 have had this problem my vin along with theirs is not listed yet they are all over the internet. 48000 miles about one owner me.
Takata air bag was replaced but dealer was unable or unwilling to tell which air bag was used as the replacement device. since the replacement, the gps system does not work, when i turn on the radio i get a bing bing bing sound. dealer says it is my job to replace radio and gps system for almost $2,000 - labor not included. new radio and gps not available for this car at this time. local vendor suggested the air bag was not installed properly or the wrong make/model was used to get the job done and get rid of me. i had also read on your list of recalls for this model there was a radio that exploded. i need the radio and particularly the gps to work and the car will have reduced resale value without either of those functioning properly. dealer ordered a new gps disc and tried to load it to make the system function once again, but the gps system would not load the new disc.
Chrysler 300 ltd rwd 2006 stalls when car slows down. have performed regular maintenance and had ignition switch replaced at dealership - car engine light comes on after it stalls, but when car is re-started, (which it does) engine light is no longer on - very dangerous to have no warning, just dies - car runs great when running, but quits suddenly when speed is reduced - do not want to own car anymore.
We were parked and unloading our luggage at the airport. we'd been there approximately 20 minutes waiting to check in on curbside. all of a sudden, our car started rolling backward and crashed into a car approximately 50 feet behind us. my husband was running trying to stop the impact, there was no reason that this car should have done this. it was in park for over 20 minutes!
Engine stalls without warning while driving at highway speed and in town driving causing loss of power steering and power brake function. in and out of garage for over a year. currently at chrysler dealership. after over 3hr diagnoses they told us that it needs a timing belt and water pump. they didnt know what was causing the engine to stall. contacted chrysler 1/3/17 stated that a starcase file would be opened to resolve this issue. didnt seem aware of this being a widespread problem with this year make and model. as of 1/9/17 no closer to resolving this issue. this car is not safe to drive.we gave our daughter our car to drive for the past 6 months as this car is not safe to drive. *tr
Vehicle repeatedly stalls at low speeds once gas tank is filled up. has stalled in intersections on busy streets and on freeway off-ramps. problem resolves when gas tank is less than 7/8 full. dealer advises this is a problem with chrysler gas tanks, but that the company will not fix defect. *tr

The car drive at 60 mileshour cut off all light come on dashbord an stop then crant backup an drive again.
I went out to start my chrysler 300 to head to work and again the gear shift would not move. i called chrylser (the company) and was told if i took it to a dealer to get it repaired it was possible i could have the repairs done free. so i had the car towed to the chrysler dealer where the mechanic said the problem was a part located within the gear shift that malfunctioned causing the gear shift not to move. the part just simply needed to be replaced, but it would cost me nearly $700.00. the same day i had the car repaired i contacted chrysler (the company) and was told they could not help me with this problem. so i waited to see what i should do. on july 17, 2014- i contacted chrysler to try and speak with them one last time about the situation before going to court. at one point the representative even became temperamental with me stating that because my car did not have the proper vin # it was not involved in the recall, regardless if it had the same problem or not. this incident happened once before. this is the second time i've had to have this part replaced.
My 2006 chrysler 300 limited was parked in my driveway and would not come out of park. i had to disassemble the gear lever box in order to manually depress the mechanism that moves the shifter. my vehicle has sat in my driveway for one year not being driven. my complaint is the part that broke is a cheap piece of pink plastic that chrysler has recalled for some vehicles, but my vin was not included. chrysler should include all vehicles that had this installed, not some of them. *tr
I was in parking stall and the shifter would not shift to reverse so we had to tow home. auto club who assisted tow said they see a lot of the chrysler 300s. we did have repaired. very concerned about our shifter now.
The car has a stalling issue that can cause accidents the car stalls the engine light flashes the car cut off sometime and it does it at lease 4 times a week
The vehicle stalls at low speeds or when stopped at a stop sign. it sometimes will exhibit a sudden loss of power followed by a chime as if engine is about to stall. two dealerships and two local mechanics have performed a complere system diagnostic. one of them retrieved code p0700-related to loss of communication with pcm. he cleared the codes and test drove it again and could not replicate the problem.the dealerships have no clue as to what is going on. this is a serious problem if our car were to stall all of a sudden on the highway and cause an accident. from what i have seen there are hundreds of complaints on this issue, is there anything you can do?
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. while the vehicle was in the park position, it failed to start. the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the key needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 192,606.
Due to substandard design, the material used to insure proper gear shifting fails. after much research, it appears to be common. the cost of repair and towing does not seem fair when the problem is so common. *kb
Without any warning the car would not come out of park. dealership said that it was internal shifter failure. this is a 2006 chrysler 300 that i purchased in november of 2005. they recalled the 2005 with this problem but not the 2006. *tt
