I have a 2007 chrysler 300, went out this am to go to work and the gear shift is stuck in park. Had to get a ride into work. Got on line and found pages of this same problem on multiple cars from chrysler. Saw the k39 notification form called chrysler, my VIN is not listed, they can't help me out. Per other people will cost $300-600.00 to fix out of my pocket. This is a defective part and needs to be recalled on any vehicle it affects. Called the parts dept. At chrysler the part is 85 cents. But the dealer will charge you an arm and a leg for the labor to do it. This is ridiculous, I'm disgusted with chrysler right now. They need to step up and do the right thing, their customer value has gone out the window.I will not be buying any more cars from them in the future.

This is the second time this has happened, the first time was the day before while stuck on the highway in traffic due to an accident I could not get my veh out of park, I had to call the dealer and I was adv to take the chrome part off where my gear shifter is and pull a pink button and it should release the gears, that didn't work so I had to use a pen to push the other pink part underneath and it released my veh.

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!!

Apparently it is a common thing. I took it in to repair this and I have maximum lifetime care and it won't even cover replaceing this. There should be a recall on this.
