Went to put the car into drive, could not. Turns out the transmission shifter interlock lever spring hook failed. I found there was a recall (k39) for this part, but it was VIN specific. Saw numerous complaints online as well as repair instruction. Called dealer who stated he hasn't heard of such a problem, but as a coincidence another 300 was being worked on today for the very same reason. Dealer also stated my VIN did not fall within the recall category. Dealer wanted over $400. 00 to replace the entire shifter housing instead of replacing the broken part itself and said the job would take about 3 hrs to perform. I went to a car parts store and bought a billeted aluminum replacement part for this specific vehicle. Installed it myself and saved $360. 00 and a tow, plus down time. Fix was done in an hour. How Chrysler can install a cheap . 29 cent plastic part that takes the most beating and is so crucial to the proper operation of the vehicle and expect it to work is beyond me. This affects a lot of vehicles, not just mine. Good thing the car was in my driveway when it failed. I was lucky. Many others are not. This is completely unacceptable for a $30,000 car.
