I have a 2007 Chrysler 300, went out this am to go to work and the gear shift is stuck in park. Had to get a ride into work. Got on line and found pages of this same problem on multiple cars from Chrysler. Saw the K39 notification form called Chrysler, my VIN is not listed, they can't help me out. Per other people will cost $300-600.00 to fix out of my pocket. This is a defective part and needs to be recalled on any vehicle it affects. Called the parts dept. At Chrysler the part is 85 cents. But the dealer will charge you an arm and a leg for the labor to do it. This is ridiculous, I'm disgusted with Chrysler right now. They need to step up and do the right thing, their customer value has gone out the window.I will not be buying any more cars from them in the future.

I was at work today and my vehicle would not come out of park when I got ready to leave, I am a female and this is not safe with me getting off at nights. This is the second time this has happened, the first time was the day before while stuck on the highway in traffic due to an accident I could not get my veh out of park, I had to call the dealer and I was adv to take the chrome part off where my gear shifter is and pull a pink button and it should release the gears, that didn't work so I had to use a pen to push the other pink part underneath and it released my veh. This is very dangerous. This should be a recall.

Incident happened with 2007 Chrysler 300 at 61, ooo miles. This occurred one time with the consequence of being stuck where you are parked, undriveable, completely disabled. Vehicle cannot be moved, unless you remove the shifter cover and push a part of the shifter with your finger. The shifter assembly was replaced. We were first told at the dealership that this was a recalled part and we wouldn't be charged. After waiting a week and a day, we were charged, to get our vehicle back I paid the bill. I asked for my old shifter assembly back and grudgingly got it back. We are currently driving the car.

Gear shift locked in park. Could not move it out of park even after using the reset button. Had to call a tow truck. Tow truck could not tow due to the driveway and position of car. Mechanic had to make house call. Will return tomorrow with a special jack to try to get the car into a position where it can be towed to the shop. Expect this to be expensive repair.
