I have a 2006 Chrysler 300 and on Nov 24 2010 my tie rod end broke and had to be towed to the shop for repairs, it has been others with the same problems with these type of cars and I think this should be looked into by someone.

Shifter stuck in park, had to get car towed to dealer. Defected part was plastic tube. I had to buy new shift assembly 230 dollars and 50 dollar tow charge. I went on internet and found many Chrysler 300 have this problem. A recall should be issued because it can happen again.

Could not shift from park. Shifting had been difficult immediately before putting in park the evening before. A tow truck was required to move vehicle to shop. Vehicle was out of 3 year warranty so repair was done by independent repair shop who advised me this was becoming a common problem for Chrysler 300S.

I parked my 2006 Chrysler 300 at a local rink to pick up my daughter. When we were back and turned on the engine, the gear shift locked at "park" position and would not change gears.

On 5/29/10, after driving my car throughout the day, I returned home to change clothes and prepare for my daughter's recital. After changing clothes and preparing to leave, I went to my 2006 Chrysler 300 and started my vehicle. While the vehicle was running, I pressed the brake and attempted to place the gear selector into reverse. I could not take my car out of park. I turned the car off and tried to place the gear selector into reverse approximately 30 times. My car would not go out of park. This is the second time that this has happened and as I research this matter this is happening to a number of Chrysler 300 owners.

I own a 2006 Chrysler 300 and the shifting lever gets stuck in park and wont move. Other times the lever does not properly seat in park, when this happens the vehicle can not be started as it is not fully seated in park. Found recall on 05-06 300's for this issue, was told by Chrysler that my car was not part of the recall and there was nothing they could do. Recall states there is an issue with the cup plug that retains the parking pawl shaft and the vehicle may not be able to achieve 'park' position. This has been happening for about 4 weeks now.

2006 Chrysler 300 limited with 3.5 and auto trans. Transmission shifter has failed 2 times in the last year. 1st time it was stuck in park and would not move, the vehicle towed to Chrysler dealer and shifter repaired. Iaw dealer the plastic clip inside the shifter broke. 2nd time the shifter would not go to park and could not remove the key from the ignition. Drove the vehicle back to the dealer and the shifter was repaired again, a new plastic piece used again. Chrysler I was told is aware of the problem. Will this happen again yes but when no idea. If Chrysler is aware of the problem (and not the only one going thru this) why isn't Chrysler trying to solve the problem" instead they keep replacing the part as it breaks. What will happen when the warranty expires on the vehicle" will I incur the expenses to have it repaired.

While working in roanoke, va I was leaving the mall and was behind another vehicle at a stop light. Light changed and proceeded to make a left turn and the car spun around twice on a four lane highway. I was not going no more than 15 mph because I was behind the other vehicle. Experience from driving in Alaska on ice, I was able to maintain calmness and not slam on brakes and keep the car under control. The car rested in the turning lane in the opposite direction. I know the other drivers was as scared as I was not knowing if I was going to slam into them because I was so out of control. I contacted mike an engineer at Chrysler's headquarters and left him a message as to what had happened and to this date he has not responded. I have a history with them because my car also shuts off while driving. Chrysler flew a team of engineers in for a week to check out the car, but they weren't able to duplicate the problem. I was told until the car stops running or the check engine light comes on and stays it's nothing they can do, but they will cover the cost of repairs once the problem is found. I hope it doesn't take the loss of life before they will issue a recall on these cars. Maybe if we all sent letters to the CEO something will be done before we have another Toyota crisis.

My vehicle would stall intermittently. I have taken it to the dealer for this same problem twice and both times they advise me there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. It also got stuck in park. I spoke with the service department at the local dealer and they advised me that this happens all the time and its something that should be recalled but Chrysler wont do it. I also spoke with the tow truck driver who laughed at me and said he tows at least 3-4 a day for that same problem.

Car check engine light comes on briefly, shake, engine shuts off while driving, backing up, or at a stop on several occasions. Problem started in Oct 2007. Taken to two different Chrysler dealers (whitten bros. & crossroads, va) and told that no code found to show a problem when hooked to the computer. Second dealer experienced problem while test driving my car, but the code resets itself quickly and the dealer is not able to diagnose a problem. I was told that I would have to wait until the car completely stop running and the check engine light comes on and stay on. I have talked to several other 300 owners in my area to discover that they are experiencing the same problem and being told the same thing, but we are to believe that this is a mystery and the dealer has never heard or seen this problem before.

Was driving on I95 interstate when the car, Chrysler 300 2006 2.7L engine, started costing and the engine RPM's revving high. This stayed like this for approx. 20 seconds and then slammed hard back into gear causing the car to be almost out of control. This type of incident has happened at East 10 other times since the car was purchased new. Have brought it back to the dealership at least five times with no satisfaction at all. I have been told "this problem does not exist",or "we can't find the problem"or" Chrysler does not know what causes this to happen" some times the car just shuts down when it loses power. This is a major problem that other Chrysler owners have had and Chrysler continues to ignore.
