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.

My spouse drove the vehicle to work in the morning, drove the vehicle at lunch and upon leaving her work for the day, attempted to drive home. The vehicle would start, however the gear selector would not move from the park position. Even using the override on the right side of the console would allow the vehicle to move form the park position. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. The dealership was very aware of the problem stating, "it is very common, and it's not covered by the warranty as it is a mechanical linkage, not associated with the transmission or drivetrain. " the dealership also related the problem may occur again. I paid for the repair (approximately $300. 00) plus the cost of a rental for the day. The problem has not occurred again since the repair.
I have a 2007 Chrysler 300. When I am pushing on the gas it hesitates on going, sometimes it will hesitate for a few seconds and then jerk hard. I have been dealing with this for a while! it started about a year after I got the car and it's gotten worse. It happens every time I drive it now. When it was under warranty the dealer always said it was no problem, now they want to do something to the torque in the transmission. They also updated codes and that did not work. I have had the car for over 2 years and I should not be dealing with transmission problems.
