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!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

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. *TR

A FEW DAYS AGO MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 WAS STUCK IN PARK IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOPPING CENTER LOT ON A HOT AZ DAY. THE TOW TRUCK SAID THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM HE GETS CALLS FOR MOST WITH CHRYSLERS. HE SAID THAT HE CARRIES A SPECIAL TOOL TO GET THEM OUT OF PARK. HE SAID IT IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PINK PIECE THAT BREAKS. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY NEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WHEN RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET I TYPED IN GOOGLE CHRYSLER 300 AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED UP WAS "CHRYSLER 300 STUCK IN PARK" IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. THE CASHIER STATED IT HAPPENS FAR TO MUCH AND SHE WISHED CHRYSLER WOULD DO A RECALL. IT WAS THREE HUNDRED AND SOME ODD DOLLARS TO REPAIR SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY PUT IN A NEW GEAR SHIFTER WITH THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE. THEY TOLD ME THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 12 MONTHS. IM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND I WILL PERSUADE EVERYONE I KNOW TO SAY AWAY FROM THE CHRYSLER 300 WHEN IT COMES TO BUYING A NEW CAR! *TR

THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN AM DRIVING. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHT GO ON AND NO POWER. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND OTHER GEARS.

I OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 THE GEAR STUCK IN PARK FOR THE SECOND TIME. SPOKE WITH OTHER CHRYSLER OWNERS THIS IS A EVER DAY PROBLEM . THESE VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON RECALL. *TR

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!!! *TR

WHENEVER THE CAR (2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING) IS PUT INTO "PARK" WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED TO HOLD THE CAR IN PLACE, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR SELECTION WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO MOVE IT. WHILE I KNOW IT IS GOOD DRIVING PRACTICE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKED, IT IS A MUST IN THIS VEHICLE OR THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED A REPAIR, BUT RELIGIOUSLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE ONLY AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE CAR SETTLES, THEN PUTTING IT INTO "PARK." *TR

ALL OF THE CHROME COVERED WHEEL LUGS ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 HAVE BEEN MUSHROOMED BY THE IMPACT WRENCH WHILE THE TIRES WERE BEING ROTATED; MY LUG WRENCH NO LONGER FITS ANY WHEEL LUGS. I CAN NOT CHANGE THE TIRES IF I GET A FLAT TIRE. ALL THE TIRE ROTATIONS ARE UNDER THE CHRYSLER SERVICE CONTRACT. *TR

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 *TR
