2007 CHRYSLER 300 Complaints

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, STARTED VEHICLE, FOOT ON BRAKE, VEHICLE SHIFTER WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM PARK. NOW WHAT ? COULD FIND NO OPEN RECALLS ON ISSUE, JUST LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND A FEW REFERENCES TO A K 39 (RECALL ?) PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND INITIATE A FIX FOR THIS.

I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ABOUT SPRING OR SUMMER 2016. MY LOCAL. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL. I RECEIVED SECOND RECALL NOTICE IN THE WINTER. THEY SAID THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL. I'M STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO CONTACT ME.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME MADE MOTION TO START VEHICLE PLACED FEET ON BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT GEAR IN DRIVE AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND WILE COMING TO A STOP IN TOWN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NO CODES - TOOK IT IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED A BAD FUEL TANK. THE INLET FLAPPER ON THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2005-2006 MODELS THAT NOW COME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON FUEL TANKS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME TO REPLACE IT OR CONSUME SOME OF THE COSTS, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT HAS DIES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OVER 10 TIMES AND WONT ALWAYS RE-START. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES, AND OTHER TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AND I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT OF ME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ISSUED TO 2005/2006 MODELS.

THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT LOCKS FOR NO REASON AND THEN WILL NOT UNLOCK WITHOUT TAKING THE SEAT BELT OFF, LETTING IT RETRACT, THEN PUTTING IT ON AGAIN. WHEN IT LOCKS IT IS SUPER TIGHT AND ALMOST CHOKES YOU.

CAR OPERATED AS EXPECTED ON 7/2 AND WAS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT. ON 7/3 OPERATOR WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR BUT OPERATOR COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND CANNOT BE SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER GEAR. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUES FOR CARS WITH A BUILD DATE FROM JUNE 25, 2007 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 21, 2007. THIS RECALL IS NAMED K39, AND THE LETTER IS ATTACHED. THE BUILD DATE OF MY CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IS OCTOBER 11, 2006. THE SUGGESTED OVERRIDE METHOD DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE (DEPRESSING PINK LEVER ON SHIFTER ASSEMBLY).
