My 2006 chrysler 300 stuck in park in a shopping center parking lot. Waited 2 hrs for a tow truck in the hot az heat. Truck driver said this is a common problem for chrysler and what he gets the most calls for. Dealership also stated it is a common problem. I was the 3rd car that day coming into the dealership with the same problem. Cashier stated it happens everyday and chrysler should recall. It is a plastic piece that breaks on the gearshift. It was expensive to repair. They lead me to believe it could happen again. Chrysler should recall the cars and fix with a durable part at their expense. It makes me nervous to know it could happen again since I drive back and forth to san diego and don't want this to happen in the middle of the desert.

The shifter or gears on my chrysler 300 touring will not come out of park. This is an ongoing issue on these vehicles. The dealer will require me to pay out of pocket for an issue that should be resolved through a recall.
My 300c seemed to stick sometimes, but with a nice pull it would engage, until yesterday. I'm glad I was home, my gears stuck in park and I have no idea what to do now. I hope there is a recall on this part.
2006 chrysler 300 srt8. Transmission locks in park. There have been several forums regarding this type of complaint. A part made of plastic commonly breaks costing a large repair bill. The part is not a regular maintenance item. I believe there is a recall on the 2005 model where they refer to it as a "pawl." it may also not allow the driver to put the vehicle in park, but I'm not having that problem.
