Eight problems related to transmission stuck in gear have been reported for the 2006 Chrysler 300C. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car completely shuts off out of nowhere even going 55 mph on the highway, almost caused a major accident! starts jumping gears mainly when the rpm is at 1 going into 2. When this happens the lights in the car flicker. After the car dies out, when you restart it its stuck in neutral even though you are in drive. Once you shut it off again and restart it, its as if nothing was wrong. There is a brand new alternator and a brand new battery in the car and it still shuts down whether you're going 55 on a highway or sitting at light ready to take off and it dies out then as well. I have children, this is very dangerous and scary! I have read that many individuals are having this same exact issue, please do something before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.
Gear shifter on my 2006 Chrysler 300c got stuck in park on 6/25/17 at about 98,400 miles. Luckily car was in my driveway when problem occurred and I was able to look up this issue online and found out this is a common problem with Chrysler vehicles. Apparently there was a k39 recall relating to this same gear shift problem. But for some reason, that recall only covered the 2005-2007 300 lx models, not the 300c model. . Read more...
I was driving my car to work and I stopped at a stop sign. I made an attempt to make a smooth merge into traffic but my car made little effort to move. I stepped on the gas and it struggled to speed forward as if it was stuck in a high gear. In order to get the transmission to shift again, I had to pull over, turn off my vehicle, and turn ot back on. After work, a similiar issue rose. I was in stop and go traffic and when I hit the gas to move forward, it struggled until the vehicle gained speed of about 10mph, then it picked up speed as normal as if it was stuck in 2nd gear. When I got home, my engine temperature reached 217 which is well above normal. The car isn't giving me a code so I can know what exactly needs to be fixed.

I have an 2006 Chrysler 300 c and as I was leavening for the day from home my gear shift is stuck in park and will not move. I've google it and this is a very common problem in Chrysler.
300 c Chrysler gear shift is stuck in park. . . . Chrysler dealership will not do anything to help problems. I have had nothing but problems since I own a Chrysler. . .
My 300c seemed to stick sometimes, but with a nice pull it would engage, until yesterday. I'm glad I was home, my gears stuck in park and I have no idea what to do now. I hope there is a recall on this part.
