I parked my 2006 Chrysler 300 in my garage on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I could not take gear out of the park position. I had to pay $99. 00 for towing to dealership and $349. 00 to replace gear shift selector assembly.
The car will turn on and when in park will not switch out of gear. Turned the car off and on several times and still would not change gears.

2006 Chrysler 300 limited rwd - could not put car into drive. Last use was fine, but went to use car next day and couldn't move shifter into drive. Putting foot on brake allowed shift handle it to move right further but not down to next gear (reverse). Rocking car did nothing. Researched on internet and found reference to shifter pink plastic piece breaks off which attached to return spring. Called dealer - told need to have it towed in and replace shifter - they're just starting to see this problem more frequently. Removed silver shifter trim bezel, disconnected small cable from key switch interlock, then rotated pink plastic piece under the front of the shifter (not the pink plastic tab on the side of the shifter) so I could put car in neutral and use the car and avoid the hassle and embarrassment of towing. Drove car to dealer the next day. They replaced the shifter - about a $500 job but given a goodwill exchange so it cost $100. Since I live in the phoenix metro area (read hot - hot - hot) - this will happen again in another 3 years because the same cheap replacement part was installed. Stevie wonder could see this is an outright designed in defect - using some cheap pink plastic part in a high use area. There supposedly is a metal replacement part to fix this but you need to tear apart the car and the shifter assembly to replace it. You need to remove a bunch of trim panels and bust a knuckle or two to get the shifter out. I would have had it out in about 10 minutes if they hadn't molded the "large" base plate as part of the shifter which makes the small shifter assembly twice the size of the opening.
