WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK IT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THIS ON MY YEAR AND MODEL CAR BUT I AM BEING TOLD MY PARTICULAR VIN # IS NOT ON THE LIST. THE RECALL IS CALLED " CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39". I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED WHEN THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN THIS RECALLL. THIS CUSTOMER IS NOT SATISFIED!

HELLO LAST NIGHT MY WIFE ALMOST DIED CAR STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY ON THE MIDLLE OF THE NIGHT WHICH SHE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AT VEY HIGH SPEED .TODAY TOOK TO THE SHOP WHICH THE CODE IT COMES DESIGNATE TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHICH COME TO FIND OUT LOTS OF OTHERS CUSTOMER BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES SCARY PART IS CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT THIS IS SAD A COMPANY OF THIS MAGNITUDE CAN EVEN KEEP IT HONEST WITH THEIR PRODUCT

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, THE CAR SOMETIMES STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS OR LOW RPM UNTIL A GALLON OR SO OF GAS IS USED UP, THE CAUSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONING.

AFTER FILLING THIS VEHICLE WITH FUEL AS YOU DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JUST STALL IN TRAFFIC. IT TAKES QUITE A FEW TRIES TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. UP TO 10 TIMES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THIS WILL HAPPEN IN INTERSECTIONS OR TURNING IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. IT HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THERE IS LIMITED STEERING AND BRAKES.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND IT TURNS BACK ON AFTER RESTART IT.. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY DOING THIS AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY. THEN AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT PROGRESSED TO TURNING OFF AS I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE AND THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AT THE LEAST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO HAPPENED ON THE STREET WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE CAR TURNS OFF. IN A STRETCH OF FIVE MILES, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE APRIL 3 AND THE DEALER STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, THEN THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY STILL HAVE IT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

THE CAR HAS A TICKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AND IT WON'T GO ABOVE 25MPH. THE CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF IF IT'S IDOLING AFTER BEING DRIVEN.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR BUCK WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AFTER FILLING YOUR GAS TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER 300. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROCKER PANEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

BROKEN TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH. FAILURE OF THIS POORLY MADE PLASTIC PIECE IS VERY COMMON IN THE CHRYSLER 300, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A DEFECT AND RECALL ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. BUT, CHRYSLER DOES NOT SELL THIS PART ALONE, THEY SELL THE WHOLE SHIFTER BOX FOR OVER 200 DOLLARS.
