2006 Chrysler 300c gets stuck in park plastic mechanism breaks causing it not to come out of park . Have to have it towed to delearship to be replaced.
I stopped to get gas and when I completed the transaction I started the car and it would not shift out of park. The tow truck driver said he picks up 3 a week with the same exact issue. The cost of the tow and the repair was about 500 dollars. I just looked on line and seems a lot of people are having this same issue. Seems to me that Chrysler should make it out of metal and fix a 40k cars.
My 2006 Chrysler 300 stuck in park in a shopping center parking lot. Waited 2 hrs for a tow truck in the hot az heat. Truck driver said this is a common problem for Chrysler and what he gets the most calls for. Dealership also stated it is a common problem. I was the 3rd car that day coming into the dealership with the same problem. Cashier stated it happens everyday and Chrysler should recall. It is a plastic piece that breaks on the gearshift. It was expensive to repair. They lead me to believe it could happen again. Chrysler should recall the cars and fix with a durable part at their expense. It makes me nervous to know it could happen again since I drive back and forth to san diego and don't want this to happen in the middle of the desert.
