300C 8-cyl

  • 71,259 miles
My 2006 Chrysler 300C gear wouldn't shift out of park. Car starts fine, steering wheel unlocked but gears won't shift out of park. Contacted tow truck, once arrived removed the cover of the gear panel and pushed in the little pink tab that apparently overrides the "park lock out mechanism" this a known issue with several Chrysler vehicles. Why hasn't Chrysler issued a recall. Googled the issue while waiting for the tow truck and you wouldn't believe the number of complaints about the same issue with other Chrysler vehicles and with mine. Chrysler needs to step-up and take responsibility for this defect. Cost me $360 to get my car fixed, more like replaced the entire shifter assembly even though they could of purchased an after market metal part to fix their defective pink plastic part. I'll see how long this one lasts and of course it wasn't covered under the warranty.
