What owners say
The transmission went out. It was fine then then lights started flickering inside and out and then when I turned the car off and tried to turn it back on it was completely dead. No lights or power at all. Had to get a jump start. Then when I tried to go it was revving up but wouldnt move and then all of a sudden jumped into gear real hard. It had significant loss of power and would get up and go. It's real slow from the start and it dangerous driving it because it will just rev up and not move then jump into gear very hard. It has almost thrown my car into the back of other cars because it jumps so bad I to gear all of a sudden. Then when you try to get out of the way of another car coming g it sometimes barely moves and it very dangerous. It has been stuck in 2nd gear ever since. It had a lot of loss of power. I had the transmission replace 2 times and both including the original are all stuck in 2nd gear. Also when I turn the car it makes a loud popping cracking sound by the wheels. Like it's going to break. Also going over speed bumps it's really loud and squeaky.
Gear shift stuck in park
Gear shift stuck in park dealership says many chrysler vehicles have the problem...dodge challenger, dodge charger, chrysler aspen, dodge durango, dodge ram, dodge magnum, dodge dakota ...they cannot get part from chryler!
Transmission is stuck in park. Cannot drive
The vehicle was parked. We got into the vehicle to drive and the car would not shift out of "park". After doing research, and learning it was an issue with the park release button, we were able to manually get the car into "drive". This was necessary because we were parked at the er of a hospital. Since we couldn't put the car in "park" and we weren't able to get it to a mechanic right away, we would put it in "neutral" and use the emergency brake. The problem is the emergency brake started failing, which seems odd since it was only used a few times.
When starting car (stationary), the automatic transmission gear shifter stays locked in "park" and will not shift into any other gear after started.
Stuck in park. Can't shift out of park floor shifter locked bypass doesn't work.
On sunday 04/30/2017, I pulled car into gas station and put gas in it. When I went to leave after this transaction, the vehicle would not shift out of "park". The shifter will not release and go into gear. The vehicle is stuck in "park". Diamler chrysler has existing recall (k39) to address this ongoing, widespread defect in their vehicles (dodge/chrysler floor shifter recall). According to tsb/recall documents, the years covered are 2005-2011. However, the dealership service department told me that because my vehicle was manufactured 90 days before the recall period for that make and model, my vehicle is not covered under the recall.
Gear shift will not shift out of park. I believe my vehicle is having the same issue as the k39 recall however because of my build date of 02/07/07, the recall only applies to vehicles built 6/25/07-9/21/07.
Gear shift stuck in park wont shift, locked up in park position also while driving the acelerator rises to show a excellerate speed then goes quickly back down to the speed you were traveling ex: going 55 and guage quckly rises to 65 or 70 and drops to 55 again within seconds without going any faster than 55.
My 2007 chrysler 300 will not shift from park, I contacted my local dealer and was told this was a problem with some 300 but I needed to contact chrysler customer service, I called chrysler and was told my VIN is not listed in the k39 safety notification, they can't help me out. I had to have my car towed to a local mechanic and repair made. How can chrysler fixs some failures and not other?

- What is wrong
- On certain passenger and sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks equipped with automatic transmissions, the software programmed into the powertrain control module can cause a momentary lock up of the drive wheels if the vehicle is traveling over 40 MPH and the operator shifts from drive to neutral and back to drive.
- Risk
- If the drive wheels locked up, loss of vehicle control could occur increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will reprogram the powertrain control module free of charge. The recall began on october 2, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.
