Whenever the car (2007 Chrysler 300 touring) is put into "park" without the emergency brake engaged to hold the car in place, it is very difficult to disengage the transmission from park to any other gear selection when restarting the car and attempting to move it. While I know it is good driving practice to use the emergency brake when parked, it is a must in this vehicle or the transmission gear selector will be very difficult to move. The problem has existed since the vehicle was new. I have not attempted a repair, but religiously apply the parking brake only after shifting into neutral, taking my foot off the brake pedal until the car settles, then putting it into "park. ".
No warning was given. I was leaving work on August 3rd, the car wouldn't move out of park. It was stuck in "park". I called the dealership and he said this was a common problem in Chrysler cars. My car is a 2007 Chrysler 300. 52,000 miles. . . We have a lifetime warranty on the car and thought that would be covered. When I called Chrysler, they said the "gear shift" was not covered under the extended warranty. He proceeds to tell me it will cost $150 to tow it; $150 diagnostic test to determine what the problem is before they can say whether or not the warranty covers it. . . And if it doesn't, then I will have to pay for the diagnostic test and the price to fix a . 50 cents plastic, which is $406. 00!!! $706 to fix a "known problem" in Chrysler cars. The "gear shifts" in these vehicles should be replaced. There are many blogs on the internet about this "common problem". Chrysler needs to issue a recall on "gear shifts" that get stuck in "park" or fix the known problem for free!!!!.
Vehicle stuck in park, researched via web found common problems for Chrysler vehicles 2007 and prior. Called dealership m morning was told yes that is probably the problem 350. 00 repair. Called Chrysler to try and get help as this defect is not a owner caused issued its a defective part. Was told 2 business days for contact back. Called 2nd day told my # listed was incorrect "which it was not" they read it back to me. Gave new # left multiple voicemails on case mgrs phone with both #'s to reach. Called again today was told case closed couldn't reach me bad phone # listed. Told them that was incorrect they said sorry had to open new case and wait again for a new case manager to review. Obvious run around for a "known" issue with there vehicles. Tons of complaints on the web about this very surprised they have not stepped up to the plate to recall. Also surprised a class action has not been brought against them as of yet. . . . Hope you have many complaints just like this one so maybe you can help get something done.

Car shifter locked up and could not get vehicle out of "park", after trying really hard to put it into drive, I was able to get the shifter to change to "drive, but when I got home I had to put extra pressure on the shifter to get to park. This is extremely unsafe because the car could roll by itself since it is extremely hard to place the shifter in park.

Chrysler 300 6 cylinder auto-transmission (2007) when driving the speed limit in my neighborhood 25 mph. The car will shift between two gears back and forth causing a hopping sensation. Also on cold take off when the transmission shifts from 1st to 2cd gear, it jumps hard into 2 cd and jumps a couple of times. It does this occasionally at other speeds and other circumstances but is most noticeable as mentioned. Dealer check says everything is fine. After checking by dealer, the problem still exists and is seemingly getting worse.
