The car will consistently slip from park to reverse when you try to exit the car. You have to push the shifter into park twice for it to remain in park. Very dangerous, as it will be in reverse if you are not careful exiting the car.

Tried to out my car in park but it went to neutral instead. . . Happened multiple times.

It was noticed that the vehicle was suddenly leaking oil as in a quart on the pavement where I had parked. Took it to a service center and the oil filter housing cooler is cracked. He advised to not drive it as the oil is pouring down the top of the motor and could cause a fire or other electrical problems. Upon trying to order the part, it would seem that a lot of other people are having the same issue. The manager at our service center was told it was on backorder. 30,000 was the number he was told of this exact part that other people were also trying to get. The vehicle smelled of burning oil and was smoking when it was last driven. I am on week 2 of not have a vehicle and am looking at the very least another 5 weeks, before the part could possible arrive. If this many people are having the same problem why is not a recall.

My car has been at the first dealership (brewbaker Dodge, montgomery, ala. ) on November 11, 2020. I got the car back March of 2021. The problem of misfires on cylinder 1 side, hesitation when proceeding from a red light, and stalling out. The problem continued so; I took it to another dealership (stiver Dodge, prattville, ala. ) in August 2021. I was given the car back in February 2022 stating to me that the problem may correct itself after being driven until after my birthday (March 2022). So, to this date my car is still at the dealership and Chrysler star team has no clue what is wrong with this car. I'm still paying a car note, insurance, and renewing the license plate for this car every year and moth. Chrysler knows that there is an issue with the 3. 6l pentastar engine. No one wants to help me in this situation, but all parties involved wants my money but no real solution(s). I need someone that's going to advocate for me on my behalf. I just want Chrysler at this point to just put a new engine in the dang car and cover the charges at their expense for their defective engine. Chrysler seriously knows what's going. As long as my car has been at this dealership for over a year, how could the engineers who designed this engine not know what's wrong with? this car has very low miles to be 8yrs old with major issue. And fca doesn't want to admit to this engine (3. 6l pentastar) being a defective engine. Look at the class action lawsuits pertaining to this. Please sir / MA'am help me make sense of this. Thank you.

I pulled into my driveway at home and placed the vehicle in park. At the time I placed it in park a reading came on the dash that said �service trans press brake when stopped key off engine to engage park�. From what I could see the vehicle was already in park. As I tried to place the vehicle into drive it would go directly back into park as soon as I got off the brake pedal.

I have a 2014 Chrysler 300 base, with awd. I have 73,000 miles on the car. I've always had the service kept up. So, I was have a rough noise as I would go over 50 mph and it would be like a growling noise. It sounded like a front wheel bearing. I took the car into the dealer and they said it was the front right wheel bearing. The warranty had ended at 70,000 miles for the drivetrain and so I put it on myself. I put a brand new hub on and still had the noise. I took the car into another garage and they thought it was the rear drive line. They replaced it and still making the noise. So, they then said it was the front drive line. I had them do it and finally. This was the fix. I looked online and watched videos and was never anything saying a drive line. I just feel that it's so unfortunate that at 3,000 miles over and I'm stuck paying over a thousand dollars, to replace a part of the drivetrain. What I worry about, is that both axles were actually no good. It's just the one was making the noise. What if I kept driving and one locked up. That's scary and could become life threatening. I truly hope you can review my message and find out why this happened and is a possible recall. I would hate for them to freeze up on someone and ends up injuring or worse, fatally injuring someone or even an entire family. Thank you!.

8/30 put the car in park and stepped out. The car goes rolling backwards down the street with my daughter in it screaming bloody murder. Luckily my driver door was open. It caught my neighbors car and jarred my door backwards forcing the car to veer to the left avoiding a street where cars fly up and down frequently. (savannah was feet away from either going into traffic or into the back of someone's house. We are extremely lucky nothing happened other than damages to a couple of vehicles). My car door doesn't shut properly and is unsafe to drive. I find out this is the same shifter that has allegedly been tied to a famous man's death and hundreds of other accidents. Verified with fca my car was defected.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that while in park the shifter would erroneously change to drive position. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer rancho Chrysler Jeep(8010 balboa Ave, san diago) who updated the software under the NHTSA recall campaign number 16v24000(power train) but the failures continued to occurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 90,000. Jft.

Manufacturers have notified me by mailers. Dealerships have failed to notify me. When I have contacted them, they never have parts in stock.

Based on "NHTSA" proof report attached below regarding this issue. ( safety recall n65 / NHTSA 13v-610 transmission output shaft ) it was happened to me 100% but still not updated my vehicle manufacturing date in that document. Recently the local dealer charge me the full cost of valve body transmission without any convincing reason.

After shifter recall for park function installed: 4 days after install,while backing up from a parking space, car slammed into park violently, could not pull forward or backward without car slamming into park. Dealer could find no problem. 10 weeks later while slowing down at a four way stop intersection, car jerked. When I started into the intersection, screen on dash said transmission service needed,do not put car in n or p, or turn off car, continue to your. . . Traction light and engine light came on. My car would not shift or move. People were swerving and hitting their brakes to avoid a collision with me. Trying to give car gas, and it going into park, finally got to curb. Called dealer, told to turn off car. It went to acc mode and shut off. Tow truck driver could not get car started, he used manual override to load car. Dealer did not diagnose car for 7 days, then said it was dead battery, could not find any problems. Picked up car, drove 37 miles, slowed down to merge onto a county highway, car jerked, and same message came up, same lights came on. Managed to pull off road. Turned off car. It stayed in run mode would not restart. Called dealer, had car towed. When car got to dealer, it started up ,they drove it three blocks, said no problem, no code shown. Dealer says it is not the recall fix, I refused to pickup car, afraid to drive it. Told dealer take a 40 mile drive then around town. No word yet.

I took my vehicle into the dealership for a recall months ago and it still isn't fixed. It states in the recall letter it should take about two hours to complete. It's even been transferred to another dealership to try to be fixed. I've been given loaner cars that do not meet the standards of my current vehicle by model or by dependability. I wish to clear up this matter as quickly as possible now. I have a family and other responsibilities to tend to. This has been a very stressful, traumatic experience and I need assistance in clearing this matter up once and for all please.

I got into my car which was parked inside my house garage. I put the car in reverse and moved about 1 to 2 feet back - but had to stop the car as my brother wanted to get into the car. I put the car in "park". As he was getting into the passenger side of the car I started to get out of the car as I wanted to get a towel on my garage shelf. However, before my brother could close the door the car started rolling backwards out of the garage. I was already out of the car when it was moving backwards so I could not get back into the driver's seat -so instead I reach down and pressed the brake pedal with my hand. But it was too late. The passenger door got caught on the garage wall and was bent backwards. The passenger door is now damaged, bent in two places and does not closed correctly.
