I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 and I love it until now!!! on Friday 5/6/11 I was pulling out of my drive way when I put the car on "park" to close my gate I got back it and it was stuck on "park" even with trying the "pink release button". from what I researched it is a very common problem in this type of car. There really should be a recall on this vehicle. It is ridiculous that the manufacture won't cover this problem with no charge to the costumers. I am extremely disappointed in Chrysler and will never do business with this company again!!
I have 2007 Chrysler 300 touring. Currently has 30,000 miles. Tonight I went to start it and the gear shift will not move out of park! I've read several complaints about the same issue with others of this car. What is the deal? major inconvenience!!!!!!!!!!!!
Went to get into my car to drive home after work and I could not get it to shift out of park. I had no warnings, drove the car just fine to work that this morning, but went I went to leave work was when it happened. My husband came and took my center console apart around the shifter and he found the little pink part inside had broke. Why would they use a pink plastic part for such an important part"??" by the time we got home everything is closed and we can't get a price on the part yet.
I have a Chrysler 300 2007. I was preparing to leave my house. I turned my car on, pressed on my brakes and began to shift the gear out of park to drive and it wouldn't budge. I left the car on check my brake lights and other parts of the car. Everything was working fine, turned the car off and tried again the engine light can on and the gear still would not adjust out of park!!!
My 2007 Chrysler 300 base model has a defect where I get stuck in park and cannot get out of this position on my shift panel. I contacted my dealership and they explained to me that its a small cheap plastic part that broken off and disengaged my shift controls. Now I am very disappointed in purchasing this vehicle and will never buy any Dodge make ever because of this. I would like there to be a recall on all these kinds of makes so I would be stuck with a $200 problem that can just decide to come out of nowhere. I hope my voice is heard and if I am not regared after this complaint I will be very disappointed. Regards customer
