I had driven my car home from work, I was on the street I live on and waiting for an ambulance to clear the entrance to my drive way so I could park. I put my car in park at the direction of the emergency response team, once the emergency vehicle had cleared the entrance I was unable to shift my car back in to drive, or reverse. It was stuck in the park position. I had to call a tow truck to move my vehicle from the road in order not to block traffic, I was also slightly in the lane of on coming traffic due to the placement of the emergency vehicles at the time (I live in an assisted living facility, it is normal for the emergency vehicles to be present on and around the property and they often direct other vehicles outside of the normal flow of traffic.) after this incident I found Chrysler had recalled several vehicles of the same make, model and year as mine. However the manufacturer informed me that my VIN number was not on the list, even though I had the same exact issue, Chrysler claimed this to be coincidental. Had my vehicle been hit while blocking traffic, would Chrysler then fix this issue" would the government require them to address this issue if someone does get hurt? what has to happen before they are held responsible for the product that has clearly had the same defect they already know exists? I am appalled that they can knowingly have a defective product and claim it to be coincidental. On top of that, they profit from selling the replacement part, the labor and they don't cover the towing expense to have it repaired, since I was unable to drive my vehicle to the dealership. Didn't our tax dollars recently go to a bail out" would be nice to have a company that wants to ensure their products are safe and operating in a correct manner. Extremely disappointed.

Car won't come out of park to drive. The lever inside is broke. Dealer says it's not just the lever it's the whole sifter transfer case.

Vehicle was parked;vehicle would not shift from park, immediately after driving.vehicle towed to hendrick Chrysler for repair.vehicle was recalled, Feb.2007 ref.#F50. I purchased same from listed dealer,10-12-2007 and vehicle was not serviced reference the noted recall before selling to me(months later);I was never advised of same recall.my vehicle meets all criteria for recall, I.e.,time of manufacture, VIN. Number specifications, plus, same symptoms noted in recall matches my breakdown symptoms(plus the un-reprogrammed computer factors into the breakdown.I have documentation of same).I called Chrysler today for repair reimbursement costs and a [xxx], hid behind the"typical" Chrysler response to this issue that I have read in numerous reviews on-line about this problem, being:"your VIN. # does not fall within range." I have paperwork which was on www.safecars.gov, that states otherwise.also, I have all needed documents to rebut the idea that my VIN.# disqualifies my claim'some generated by Chrysler.yet Chrysler believes it only has to use words to me and others to escape any and all product responsibility.
