About three yrs ago went for oil change found out my was cracked had to replace axle and steering asked if it was a recall they said no.. now 2013 i park the car and the car wont shift from park called chrysler no recall notice there's been many cases of shifting gear not able to shift or falling off shift when park.. my auto will not shift from park this a defect i feel chrysler should have this problem fix and put as a recall. *tr

From what i've learned there's a defect in chrysler automobiles with the hemi engine. any time the gas tank is filled, if a sharp left turn is taken the car stalls out. this is exactly what has happened to me periodically over the last two years. i brought the car to two local mechanics and the chrysler dealership, nobody could figure it out, it doesn't show up on the car's computer. finally, a third mechanic googled it and came up with an article in the l.a.times that perfectly described my situation (duh, i should've thought of that). it wasn't until the car stalled in the middle of a busy road, on a friday afternoon, with my two-year-old daughter in the car, that i really had an issue. i was able to roll into the parking lot of a shopping plaza, so it ended alright, but if there was nowhere to go that could've spelled disaster! as a guy i can handle a situation like this, but when children are involved a defect of this type is unacceptable. i'm the original owner of the car, so it's not related to user error by any means. in the end the third mechanic quoted me $1800 for a new gas tank + lines + labor, or i could not fill my tank to the top when i get gas. thanks chrysler! plus, the shifter for the automatic transmission on the 300c will lock up, not letting the driver shift from park to drive. thanks again chrysler for stranding my pregnant wife! (i still have the shifter in my garage hoping that will be a recall). *tr

Recently i started my chrysler 300, tried to put my car in reverse, and realized it was stuck in park. after much investigation i have found a temporary resolution to get it out of park provided o me via the internet. i have found there is a recall on my part provided by chrysler, on my exact model, make, and year but for some reason its vin specific. bottom line is my part is broken and falls right in line with the other 29,000 other people that had their gear shifter recalled. when i called chrysler they said my vin didn't qualify. i strongly disagree. i have looked online and see many many people have been turned away by chrysler with the same problem. please help! *tr

Gear shifter will not move out of park. *tr

At approximately 12:30pm i got into my vehicle (chrysler 300 touring 2006 model) to drive home. i put my key in the ignition, started my vehicle and then proceeded to change gears from park to reverse. my gear shift was locked/stuck in park. it would not move at all. i then turned my care off and proceeded to try again. i then started up my vehicle (chrysler 300 touring 2006 model) and the gear shift was still stuck in park. i then proceeded to google what was going on with my chrysler 300 and there were several complaints from other chrysler 300 owners on this site with the same exact problem. on this site other chrysler owners stress that this particular problem just happens out of the blue. you never know when it's actually going to happen. it costs $490 to get it fixed plus the amount of money it will cost you to get your vehicle chrysler 300 towed. the other chrysler owners also stress that they've had this same problem with 2005, 2006, and 2007 chrysler 300 touring models. i then proceeded to make several calls to handle my problem as far as towing ect... all i got was the run around and i stressed the issue as far as this particular problem being recalled and it hadn't been. if i knew then what i know now i would of never bought the chrysler 300 touring 2006 model. i don't think it's fair to the customer to have to come out of their pockets for a default that the company made on a vehicle. this model needs to be on the recall list. it is now 4:03pm and myself and my children are still waiting for my car to be towed. ## vin passed ## chrysler 300 touring 2006 ##

I went to shift my vehicle out of park and realized that the shifter would not move. i tried multiple times and had no luck. i was forced to take the shifter covers off and manually pull the release cable in order to put the car into drive. i called chrysler and was told that a diagnosis alone would be 135.00 dollars. i decided to bring the car to my own mechanic and he discovered that the shift interlock latch was causing the problem. he looked up a recall for 2005-2007 chrysler and told me that chrysler would be able to fix it. i called chrysler and they told me that since my car was produced in canada, it did not meet the requirements for the recall, even though it was the same exact part used on the u.s. assembly lines. chrysler says they are well aware of the shift interlock latch being faulty but refuses to take responsibility. there are many owners out there with the same problem posting to online forums. chrysler needs to fix this issue! *tr

I have a 2006 chrysler 300 touring and i have had several issues with this car. from the first week that i bought the car(2/10/2013) used with 71,000 miles this car has caused me problems. the first issues i experienced was a problem with the transmission. the car would act like it was searching for the correct gear by shifting up and down on its own even when i was not accelerating, this would happen whenever i would go over 40 miles per hour. the problem ended up being the throttle body inside my transmission. the next issue i experienced was a shifting in the front end whenever i went over a speed bump or pot hole in the road, i found out that the strut, ball joint, and the rocker arm had to be replaced on my front end. then the dials on my dash started to go crazy periodically for no reason at all, i have yet to figure out what this is but i assume it has something to do with the computer. i also experienced complete failure of my cooling system. i had to replace the drier, condenser, expansion valve, and one other part that i cannot remember. the total for this job was about 2,700 and the transmission work was 3,750 and the work on the front end was a total of about 800.00 not to mention the brakes i've replaced and the new set of tires i bought for the car and i have had this car for 1 year and 7 months. *tr

I went home for lunch friday, july 27, afterwards i could not get my car out of park. i called for a tow truck, and the driver showed me how to get my car out of park with a screw driver. he also told me that the chryslers, and dodges had been recalled for this shifter problem. i drove my car to the dealership and had them to search for a recall. they couldnot find any, i had my care repaired for $381.00. i went home and a friend with a 2008 dodge avenger said he had this repaired (under recall) on his vehicle in 2011 at the same dealership that i had mine repaired(at my expense). there are dozens of complaints for this, but owners are being told that their (vin) is not a part of the recall. how can i have the right make, model, and year vehicle and have the same problem, and be excluded from the recall????? *tr
