Four problems related to transmission not go into gear have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On satot having be. 8/30/14 my 300c was parked in the garage. I not used the care to go to my veterans hospital appointments and could not go because I could not get the gear shifter out of park! I had to call usaa for a tow on a flatbed truck to darcars Chrysler waldorf,MD who has maintained his car for many years. I was told by the ice manager that the problem was a pink plastic piece in the center counsel and its spring that failed, and is a common occurance in this vehicle leaving it unable to move at all-trasmission and rear wheels locked by shifter. I checked your pages for recalls and I saw two recent ones of the same car/style/yearas mine. I need my car it has veterans "dv' plates as I am totally combat wounded and disabled. I think Chrysler must pay for this repair as it is their fault, they knew it for years, and I am thinkming of filing a federal court class action under 28 usc in . Md as was against gm and Ford.
Chyrsler 300c 2005 model, thencar was in park and would not come out of gear. The tow truck driver came and showed us how to manually get the car out of gear with the gear box off, which is only a temporary fix. The car ixs now exposed to potential thiefs and the transmission will lock if not serviced.
With no warning car will not go into reverse, car does start and wheels move but will not go into gear. Researched on line and found that several people are having this same problem. Problems with the pink release lever to get the car in gear.
With car started, applying brake, automatic shifter comes out of park position but will not go into any gear.
