My gear stick is stuck and won't allow me to get out of "park. ".
After riding through an automatic car wash for the first time, I was attempting to put the car in drive to exit the car wash. You have to press the brake on this car to shift from neutral to drive. As I attempted to do this , the car went into park on it's own and would not come out of park for over ten minutes, no matter what we did. This resulted in a shutdown of the entire car wash, and our car was almost rear-ended by the vehicle behind us. I have complained to the dealership and Chrysler at all levels. They tell me the car is working as designed, period! this is a clear safety issue. We have never had a car before where you had to brake to shift from from neutral to drive. Chrysler has refused to rectify this issue so far. This car has the new 8 speed automatic transmission with an electronic shifter. The shifter is awful!!!.
Emergency car jack failed while changing tire on flat surface, car jack gave out and dropped vehicle breaking rear stabilizer bar. Could have been seriously injured if I was by tire location or under vehicle. The car also has a shifter column that will lock in park and will not change to any other gear, locks shifter leaving you stranded. Chrysler has recall on other vehicles using same equipment but not the 2007 Chrysler 300c. The car jack could not support vehicle and bent almost in half.
I received a letter back from the manufacture listing this car as a Dodge magnum , although car is a Chrysler 300 , it is at Chrysler Jeep eagle in west palm beach fla eric mizzotti is in the service department, I have been waiting over a week only to be stalled , and also the car was purchased new, at the time I purchased the car the sales man gave me a service book for a Dodge charger and told me its the same thing, why come Chrysler is having such a hard time with the VIN on the vehicle. This is the 2nd tripp they made and then told me they was looking for the wrong car. The letter I received stated I told them I purchased the car used not so supposenly this car was new when I bought it. And has already had a slow start up and idle.
I was driving the mr car all of a sudden it started smoking,I lost power then engine light came on.
While driving my vehicle home yesterday evening my car shutdown by itself. I had to restart 3 times to make it home. This is extremelly dangerous as I was on a high rise bridge at the time. Anyone knows if there is a recall on this vehicle. Again today it shutdown and will not start again. I had to be towed to a repair shop.
Forward collision warning system light comes on as system off and causes immediate deceleration when no front end collision was imminate resulting in vehicle almost being hit from behind. This has happened 3 times.
Air conditioning problem a/c was blowing hot air took to repair shop. The mechanic wanted me to know that the a/c hose discharge line was a manufacturer defect. Why because there are two hoses that form an x, and at the point where they intersect (the metal bands) are rubbing together from vibration of the car. I did ask the mechanic if anything else (e. G. Car accident, rough roads) could have caused it and he said no. I also asked if the intersection of the hoses could be fixed by moving them so they don't rub together and he said no. It really is a manufacturing defect.
Cpsc# i11a0205a. Chrysler 300. Car was towed to repair shop. Would not go in reverse. Something is wrong with gear shaft.
Could not get the gear shift out of park - broken - a/t shift interlock lever replacement- part cheap - labor $80. 00.
In reference to my 2005 Chrysler 300 - I went out to drive my car and it would not shift out of park. I found out it was a small pin in the shifter mechanism. As I researched online, I found this problem to be wide spread with Chrysler 300 owners. The dealership knew what I was talking about the minute I described the problem. They said it is very common and they see this regularly. They also said that Chrysler does not sell that particular part separately and the only way to fix it is to replace the entire unit. Lastly, the dealership even questioned why this problem hasn't been recalled. I also called Chrysler customer service to explain my problem (and mounting cost to tow my car and have it fixed). Before I got the description out of my mouth, he said "your car won't shift out of park - right?" I said yes and he told me he hears it all the time. That Chrysler has recalled this problem on a few years, but not most of them and not mine. He said he doesn't know why it hasn't been recalled, but he suggested I send a letter to them along with my bills. He didn't know if they'd pay, but it was better than nothing. He told me to reach out to your organization and see what you all said.
Gear shift stuck in park. The interlock return spring hook is broken. I have to press a pink lever under gear shift to get out of park. I had to take console apart to get to leaver. I am finding out that some vehichles have a recall on this defect and others do not. I am told that vehichles made in certain factorys have recalls. Why is that fair that although mine was not made in a certain factory, but is still broke, it will not be repaired? I have purchased many Chrysler products in the past and have been very complimentary of my Chrysler 300 except for this issue.
Shifter would not go out of park!(problem is a recall) however, when I contacted Chrysler they informed me that my vehicle was not on the list as a recall. Therefore, they would not pay for this issue in full. My vehicle is a 2006 Chrysler 300 and I don't understand why my vehicle did not receive a notice in regards to this defect. I don't think that it is fair for some vehicles with this recall to receive free repairs and others don't. Chrysler would not pay for my vehicle to be repaired in full and I was required to pay $100. 00 deductible. This is beyond belief. This repair should have been covered in full by Chrysler because it is a recall. It doesn't matter if my vehicle was made in a plant in alabama or north carolina. A recall is a recall. Especially if the problem is the same. Chrysler needs to step it, stop being so rude to customers when they call in and stop denying issues. Peoples lives depend on it. Then on top of that, the csr expedited my issue up to a manager, they did not like the fact that I called to check the status of the outcome. They kept saying it takes 24 busines hours. . . They didn't care that I didn't have a way to work and they handled the situation very lightly with no compassion. As soon as I can get a different vehicle, I will. I will never buy another Chrysler product. Their service suck and the never want to take ownership of any issues. Very, very, very dissatisfied Chrysler owner!!!!!!!.
2005 Chrysler 300 was parked in garage over night when we went to start vehicle it started just fine but it would not shift out of park to reverse to get out of garage. This happened on June 18 2011. Come to find out it was a spring that had broke off from a piece of plastic down in the shifter that had broke.
My 2006 Chrysler 300 will not shift out of park. I start the car, pressed the brake, but the shifter will not move out of park. I called the factory and they said there was a recall but it does not apply to may car.
Without any warning the car would not come out of park. Dealership said that it was internal shifter failure. This is a 2006 Chrysler 300 that I purchased in November of 2005. They recalled the 2005 with this problem but not the 2006.
Yesterday, I came out to my Chrysler 300 (2006) to start it and the gear shifts would not work. I could not put the car into drive, neutral, reverse or any other shift. When I notified a Chrysler dealer about it I was told that there had in fact been many vehicles with this same problem and they had been recalled. However, when he looked up my vehicle, although it had the same problem was not on the recall list. When I notified Chrysler headquarters, they told me the reason was because it was not built in one of the plants the other vehicles were built in. Further more they told me that because my warranty had expired I was unable to get any help. Also because the previous owner may have caused the damage. So when I called them the next day to see if this decision could be overturned they told me my case was closed and would not be reopened. Now, I am stuck paying the bill to get my car fixed in addition to facing a loss for work.
I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 and I love it until now!!! on Friday 5/6/11 I was pulling out of my drive way when I put the car on "park" to close my gate I got back it and it was tuck on "park" even with trying the "pink release button". From what I researched it is a very common problem in this type of car. There really should be a recall on this vehicle. It is ridiculous that the manufacture won't cover this problem with no charge to the costumers. I am extremely disappointed in Chrysler and will never do business with this company again!!.

Check engine light on. 2007 Chrysler 300 touring with 45000 miles. P1004 code. Known problem from Chrysler. TSB issued. Georgia emissions will not pass with engine light on. New cars (three years) exempt from emissions. Next year first time for testing and car will not pass until I pay Chrysler $2000 to fix problem. Great idea to bail them out. Buy american. Ha, ha.
When is nhsta going to look into the extra long limousine conversions being completed on the Chrysler 300 and Dodge charger cars? Chrysler does not offer a limo conversion chassis like Lincoln and Cadillac. The axles, wheels, tires and brakes are seriously overloaded based on the federal door labels. Carb is stopping them based on emissions and fuel label violations at the weights they are attempting to register them at. Operators are experiencing premature front end component failures and excessive tire wear. Does someone have to die before this industry practice is reviewed?.
