2007 Chrysler 300C transmission problems

Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist. But my battery loses voltage while driving, the car will start blowing hot or cold air which ever it prefers at the time without any heating or cooling system being turned on, the dash goes crazy the rpms, speedometer and everything else will drop to zero the transmission will start jerking and the service park assist warning will flash on and off repeatedly very fast then the car died while driving on the highway and refused to start even with a jump start. Replaced the battery twice in 2 weeks and the alternator as well and the car continues to do this randomly. No codes show up but the abs light, esp bas lights are on, the brake light will come on every now and then without the brake being pressed and the car seriously just seems to have a mind of it's own.

My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem. It done what 06V341000 said but my Vin is not effected they say

Came out of the store to start the car. It wouldn't start. Engine made a coins shaking in can noise. Had towed to a service center, they asked if it had overheated, I said no because it hadn't shown any signs it had. They said it got so hot things melted and valve seats and pistons were ruined. I've read about dodge jeep and chrysler hemi 5.7s and valve seats and many people had this exact same problem with no sure reason as to why. I believe there is some defect in the engine itself causing this and extended warranty's won't cover claiming because valve seats aren't an internally lubricated part or some bs reason. Needs immediately looked into I'm about to lose my car over it!

Car operated as expected on 7/2 and was parked in garage overnight. On 7/3 operator was able to start the car but operator could not shift out of park. The car is stuck in park and cannot be shifted into another gear. There is a current recall for this exact same issues for cars with a build date from june 25, 2007 through september 21, 2007. This recall is named k39, and the letter is attached. The build date of my car with the same problem is october 11, 2006. The suggested override method did not resolve the issue (depressing pink lever on shifter assembly).

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. Chrysler is well aware about it. They even posted this pdf document online about it. Http://www.chrysler.com/webselfservice/pdf/k39.pdf I contacted chrysler about this to verify but they stated it was only for chrysler 300's built after july 2007. When I questioned why the letter was on their website they stated they could not do anything for me at this time.
