2007 Chrysler Sebring: could not shift from park to reverse etc. Car had to be towed. The car only has 28,000 miles. It is currently at a repair shop.
My 2007 Chrysler Sebring "stuck" in park. I have 48847 miles on my Sebring and have not had a problem with it. On Aug. 13 I pulled into my garage and parked. The next day I got into my car and it would not shift out of park. I checked the manual and it gave an "over-ride" procedure. This procedure does not work. I called Chrysler on the 15th and asked how to engage the over-ride. They gave me the same procedure. On the 16th I had a tow truck come to my house to tow my car to the dealership. He showed me an entirely different over-ride that was shown to him, by Chrysler. But Chrysler does not pass on to the consumer. It worked and I was able to drive my car to the dealership. Before I took my car to the dealership I contacted Chrysler and got a case manager assigned to me. The case manager worked with the dealership and got my car repaired for a $50. 00 CO-payment. Chrysler knows there is a problem with 2007 & 2008 Sebrings I would like to see Chrysler send a new over-ride procedure to all owners of vehicles that could have this problem and issue a recall. I was lucky it happened in my garage, but several others might not be as lucky where this failure happens, without the correct knowledge on how to over-ride the system.
I left work and my 2007 Chrysler Sebring would not shift out of park (it's an automatic). I eventually had to have my car towed for a total of 280. I learned that an internal spring and another part inside of the shifter had broken. Based on what I read, it seems to be a common problem with the later model Sebrings.
2007 Chrysler Sebring would not shift out of park, with only 30,000 miles on the car this happened, the shifter was replaced.
There were no actual events leading up to the problem. The car is a 2007 model Chrysler Sebring sedan with a 2. 4l, 4 cylinder engine. The car has 36,505 miles on it. The car was acting perfectly normal up until I went to start it. Once I started it, I could not get it out of park. I called and had it towed to the dealership who stated that the entire "shifter" had to be replaced. The car was 505 miles past the manufacturer warranty, so I had to pay a deductible on my extended warranty. I have not received the car back yet, but I will be asking for the old parts back.
