THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVER HAD THE RETURN LEVER SPRING HOOK BREAK OFF. THIS LEFT THE SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE SHIFTER HOWEVER THE CAR IS SHOWING THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO THE SEAT WILL NOT FULLY ADJUST AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL (K39) ON THIS ITEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR, HOWEVER I WAS INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE THE RIGHT YEAR AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY. I FEEL THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM.
