I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 AND I LOVE IT UNTIL NOW!!! ON FRIDAY 5/6/11 I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY WHEN I PUT THE CAR ON "PARK" TO CLOSE MY GATE I GOT BACK IT AND IT WAS STUCK ON "PARK" EVEN WITH TRYING THE "PINK RELEASE BUTTON". FROM WHAT I RESEARCHED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS TYPE OF CAR. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURE WON'T COVER THIS PROBLEM WITH NO CHARGE TO THE COSTUMERS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER AND WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN!! *TR
