I CAME OUT OF THE WORK ON 5/30/13, AND STARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEAR FROM PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS ON. THE GEAR SHIFT STILL DIDN'T MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. AND ASKED ME FOR THE VIN # I GAVE IT TO THEM AND THE TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AS THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT WAS, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR ALL OF 2007 AND NOT JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. *TR

WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THERE IS A NOTICABLE DELAY IN RESPONDING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPT. 2011. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 67,000 MILES, AND NOW HAS 83,000 MILES. THERE IS ALSO A DANGEROUS PAUSE/DELAY THAT OCCURS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION CATCH, IT MAKES THE CAR LUNGE IN EITHER TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT DEPENDING ON DIRECTION OF FRONT TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THE 300 HEMI DOES THAT WITH THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE POWER OF THE ENGINE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AND NOT THE OWNER. *TR

I CAME OUT OF THE STORE ON 4/24/13, PLACED MY BAGS IN THE CAR AND STARTED THE CAR. I TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEAR FROM PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS ON. THE GEAR SHIFT STILL DIDN'T MOVE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND TO LOOK UP A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND IT WOULD TELL ME HOW TO POP IT INTO GEAR. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT I HAD NO TOOLS.

AS SOON AS I GOT HOME AND PARKED, IT LOCKED UP AGAIN. THIS IS NOT SAFE. *TR
