When I put the gear shift into park it wont let me shift again so now im stuck in park. I heard online this is happening with other chrysler cars and dodge cars I feel that there should be a recall for this matter cause it cost on average $350 or higher and chrysler knows about it but they have only recalled some cars and not all cars with this problem please help .thanks
Automatic transmission car would not shift out of park when I attempted to drive vehicle in the morning. After getting vehicle to dealership, they replaced shifter assembly.
My 2006 chrysler 300 was parked in my garage. When I was ready to leave in the morning, I started the car but was not able to shift from "park" mode. Had it towed to my local chrysler dealer where an overhall shifter assy and lever kit - shifter interlock was installed.

After filling up the fuel tank, after approximately 30 seconds the engine shut down. It was hard to restart, but finally restarted. When pulling out fromt the fueling station, the car began to buck and jerk intermittently. When stopped at a red light, it stalled again. I restarted the car. When I proceeded when the light turned green, the car again stalled. This occured for the next 5-6 miles, then stopped occurring. This happened every time I refilled the fuel tank. Since ooa 15 december 2011, I cannot fill my fuel tank and have to stop it before the nozzle shuts if off. If I inadvertenly let it fill until the nozzle clicks off (doesn't matter the fueling pump/station), it will buck and stall for the next several miles until some of the fuel is burned off in the tank.
Floor gear shifter will not move from park position. Chrysler says my VIN was not part of the recall for this problem so they will not take care of the repair costs. I do not understand how chrysler can say some of the vehicles with faulty part will be covered by recall and others with the same problem will not be.
Tried to leave work and gear shift stuck in park. Got a ride home and googled finding multiple complaints. Found k39 recall and called the recall center. They said my VIN was not included and I asked why? It's the same problem and the same make and model covered under k39. They told me there was nothing they could do. What a crock! Not buying a chrysler ever again.
Transmission lever was stuck in "park".
Driving on to the freeway there was a click sound and the vehicle shut down had to take quick reaction as this is the entry to a very busy highway. Managed to get into the breakdown lane car would not go forward put it in reverse and it worked then put it back into drive and managed to crawl home. The gearing is not changing through the gears. This is just after a rocker arm assembly being put into this vehicle two weeks ago. When I first purchased the vehicle the engine shut down on a busy road, turned out it was the remote start which was on the car when first purchased. What a nightmare this vehicle is.
After I start the car I try to shift it out of park, I have to force it to shift. I had this happen to me before and had to have my car towed to the mechanic. The gear shifter had to be replaced. I am having to force it to shift but know it will have to be replaced sooner or later.

From what I've learned there's a defect in chrysler automobiles with the hemi engine. Any time the gas tank is filled, if a sharp left turn is taken the car stalls out. This is exactly what has happened to me periodically over the last two years. I brought the car to two local mechanics and the chrysler dealership, nobody could figure it out, it doesn't show up on the car's computer. Finally, a third mechanic googled it and came up with an article in the l.a.times that perfectly described my situation (duh, I should've thought of that). It wasn't until the car stalled in the middle of a busy road, on a friday afternoon, with my two-year-old daughter in the car, that I really had an issue. I was able to roll into the parking lot of a shopping plaza, so it ended alright, but if there was nowhere to go that could've spelled disaster! As a guy I can handle a situation like this, but when children are involved a defect of this type is unacceptable. I'm the original owner of the car, so it's not related to user error by any means. In the end the third mechanic quoted me $1800 for a new gas tank + lines + labor, or I could not fill my tank to the top when I get gas. Thanks chrysler! Plus, the shifter for the automatic transmission on the 300c will lock up, not letting the driver shift from park to drive. Thanks again chrysler for stranding my pregnant wife! (I still have the shifter in my garage hoping that will be a recall).

I placed the vehicle in park and exited the car. When I return to attempt to shift the vehicle out of park I was unable to do so. After researching and speaking with my local chrysler/dodge dealership and getting my vehicle taken to them it was confirmed that the transmission gear shift lever interlock return spring hook broke. It will not allow the vehicle to be shifted out of the "park" position. Although there is a recall for this problem already issued my VIN was not included although it is included in the year of the issued recall. I was informed by the chrysler recall assistance center customer service person to contact the federal safety agency to file a complaint.
The engine stalls repeatedly after filling the gas tank. This has occurred many times over a number of months. The chrysler dealer can't fix it and it has nearly caused an accident on two occasions.

About three yrs ago went for oil change found out my was cracked had to replace axle and steering asked if it was a recall they said no.. Now 2013 I park the car and the car wont shift from park called chrysler no recall notice there's been many cases of shifting gear not able to shift or falling off shift when park.. My auto will not shift from park this a defect I feel chrysler should have this problem fix and put as a recall.
Recently I started my chrysler 300, tried to put my car in reverse, and realized it was stuck in park. After much investigation I have found a temporary resolution to get it out of park provided o me via the internet. I have found there is a recall on my part provided by chrysler, on my exact model, make, and year but for some reason its VIN specific. Bottom line is my part is broken and falls right in line with the other 29,000 other people that had their gear shifter recalled. When I called chrysler they said my VIN didn't qualify. I strongly disagree. I have looked online and see many many people have been turned away by chrysler with the same problem. Please help!
