MY 2007 CHRYSLER 300 IS STUCK IN PARK , I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS SOMETHING THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY , BUT IS DOES HAPPEN ALOT. THE PROBLEM IS VERY TO BE INTERNAL TO THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THERE IS A PINK PLASTIC ARM WHERE THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE ATTACHES IN THE SHIFTER. THIS ARM IS SPRING LOADED AND CAN EVENTUALLY BREAK. WHEN IT DOES THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK BECAUSE THE SHIFTER DOESN'T KNOW THE KEY IS TURNED ON.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 C. FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DOING. IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT TAKES ME PULLING OFF THE ROAD IF I CAN, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. RECENTLY I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER FOR I THINK THE THIRD TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE ECU. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS AND YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING IN INTERSTATE DRIVING WHEN IT SHUT DOWN DOING 70 MILES HOUR. BARELY AVOIDING A SEMI FROM RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF ME. IT HAPPENED TWICE WITH IN A 500 MILE DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS. ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED ON A SIDE STREET AND I PULLED OVER AND IT STARTED UP FINE. WROTE IT OFF AND WENT ON. THIS IS VERY BAD. I AM GOING BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW AND FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE. NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT SEEMS CHRYSLER HAS NO ANSWER BUT TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. *TR
