Vehicle cranks just fine, but I cannot shift it from 'park' into any other gear - it is locked in 'park'. Internet searches identify this is a common problem for several Chrysler vehicles; the problem is a cheap, plastic, "pink" shift interlock mechanism that breaks. Although apparently common, Chrysler has not initiated a recall for this part. I talked to service managers at two different regional Chrysler dealerships and then called the Chrysler '800' number to complain. They all told me the same thing - I am on my own in repairing this part; it is not covered by warranty nor recall. However, my small town service manager says he fixes 2-3 of these Chrysler problems every week (at owners expense since they can't take it the 30 miles to the nearest Chrysler dealership), and he is sure that there is a recall for this part. He replaces the broken shift interlock mechanism with the redesigned Chrysler part! Chrysler needs to be forced to initiate a recall on this part and to reimburse owners who have had to have the part repaired at their expense.

And asked me for the VIN # I gave it to them and the told me my car was not on the recall list if this is such a widespread problem as the service technician said it was, why has there not been a recall issued for all of 2007 and not just for a couple of months.

When shifting into drive or reverse, there is a noticable delay in responding since I purchased the car in sept. 2011. I purchased the car with 67,000 miles, and now has 83,000 miles. There is also a dangerous pause/delay that occurs when attempting to accelerate, especially in traffic. Once the transmission catch, it makes the car lunge in either to the right or left depending on direction of front tires. I have taken car to the dealer who indicated the 300 hemi does that with the electronic transmission because of the power of the engine and nothing can be done. This is a serious safety issue that should be repaired by Chrysler and not the owner.

I applied the brake to shift car out of "park" and it would not shift. I had to have my car towed and the dealership said that the clutch assembly needed replacement.

I went to drive the vehicle one day and it wouldn't shift out of park. I did considerable reasearch online and found numerous reports of the same thing happening. The reported issue is that the transmission gear shift lever interlock spring breaks resulting in the vehicle being stuck in park. I found a temporary bypass method until I could get it repaired. Online, I found that there was a possible recall: Chrysler customer satisfaction notification k39. I called Chrysler recall assistance center and they advised that although there is a recall on some vehicles, my VIN # was not included in the recall group, therefore I had to pay for the repair myself. I also searched on this website, and found another report of the same type: odi id number : 10470372. It is quite dissatisfying that I have to pay for the repairs myself when there is a recall for the exact same problem and based on my internet research this seems to be a widespread, common problem. I was fortunate that this happened at my house where I had access to the internet to research and locate a bypass and had tools available to dismantle the shifter assembly to access the bypass. This could cause a huge safety issue if somebody were to get stuck in a bad location and had to wait for a tow truck or some other method of help to arrive.
