2007 CHRYSLER 300C Complaints

DROVE MY CAR TO WORK IN THE MORNING WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER WORK I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SHIFT THE GEAR OUT OF PARK. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON ETC. BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP. THEY CAME AND REMOVED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY TO GET IT TO THE SHOP AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE A SMALL PLASTIC PIECE WAS BROKEN INSIDE AND THEY COULDN'T JUST REPLACE THE PIECE, IT HAD TO BE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR THE COST OF $300.00. NO WARNINGS OR OTHER ISSUES. AFTER LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET, SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE ALSO HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR SEVERAL TIMES JUST SHUTTING DOWN OR ALMOST SHUTTING OFF (JERKS LIKE YOU ARE HIT AND SEEMS LIKE IT IS SHUTTING DOWN BUT THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. USUALLY IT WILL START BACK UP QUICKLY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED 2 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DIDN'T SHOW ANY PROBLEMS.

TODAY MY WIFE STARTED HER CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT REVEALED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCKING LEVER ISSUE.
