What is wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the floor shifter ignition-park interlock may fail and allow the shifter to be moved out of the park position with the key removed. An inoperative interlock may also allow the key to be removed when the shifter has not been placed in the park position.
Risk: Either circumstance may result in the vehicle rolling away without warning.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new load-limiting push rod into the floor shifter lever of the affected vehicles. Owner notification began on june 14, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1‑800‑853‑1403.

The manufacturer reports above are based on daimlerchrysler?s (dc) analysis of model year (my) 1998 (population = 356,384) and 1999 (population = 486,948) ja, jx and lh family subject vehicle data (earlier mys excluded).the population number includes all mys.the precise number of duplicates between odi and dc reports cannot be determined due to missing or incomplete information.the fatality incident involved an elderly person who attempted to stop a roll away vehicle and received fatal injuries.odi also gathered information on my 1997-99 prowler vehicles in this investigation. The prowler vehicles were manufactured with a different design shifter mechanism (the shift lever is shorter).there are no complaints of prowler interlock failure in odi?s database, and dc has received no reports either.the prowler is excluded from the recall scope.the investigation involved a condition where the interlock system could fail (or be made inoperative by the operator) during vehicle use, possibly inadvertently.the interlock system is required under fmvss 114.with the transmission in the park position and the ignition key off, the combined action of pressing the shift button and pulling the shift lever rearward may result in the operator overcoming the interlock system and cause the mechanical linkage of the system to disconnect.when this occurs, there is no overt indication to an operator that the system is defeated, and an increased risk of vehicle roll-away exists.under recall 04v021, dc will replace damaged shift mechanisms, and will install on all vehicles a device which inhibits the operator?s ability to overcome the interlock and defeat the system.beginning with my 2000, dc incorporated a brake and transmission shifter interlock (btsi) system into the subject vehicles.introduction of btsi involved design changes to the shift mechanism, one of which resulted in reduced mechanical advantage (rma) of the shift button.the rma shifter requires increased forces to overcome the interlock system, making the shifter less susceptible to damage.

The shifter would appear to be in park and you could take keys out of car. The next morning I went to start my car it would not start, I checked all the usual stuff , gas level ,battery then it dawned on me to check the shifter since I was unable in the past to start other cars it must be in a park position (was married to an ase certified mechanic who did loss of restorations) I pulled the level forward and the car started immediately. Over time the shifting from p,r,n,d became more and more difficult to where it stuck in 3rd gear (which I never use) when I had the car towed the floor shifter remained stuck . Yet we were able to push the car out of the driveway as easy as pie. 383.44 later it was the floor shifter and cable.

The car I was driving was a 1999 chrysler concord that had been in excellent driving up until the time of the incident. Just three days earlier the automobile was serviced at a chrysler dealership service center for an oil and oil filter change. I inquired at the pick up event if the brakes were okay and it was reported to me that the were fine and that everything with this automobile was fine. On sunday, september 3, 2006, I started this automobile in my garage to go to church. After putting my seat belt on, I usually inch myself out of my garage very, very slowly. However, this time after adjusting the transmission lever from park to drive my automobile took off so fast I could not control it at all. I hit the breaks as hard as I could but my automobile would not slow down at all. Not only that, I could control the steering of my automobile at all. I live near the pacific ocean and there is a drainage ditch right across the street where I live that connects with the ocean. There is a chain-linked wire fence that separates the street from the drainage ditch. My automobile raced out of my garage, down my driveway, went across the street and hit the curb across the street where it force my automobile to swerve across the adjoining street to break through the chain-linked fence where it went down a concrete embankment for an approximate 20-foot drop until it completely stopped in the water. The car then began filling up with water until it became completely submerged. Fortunately, a neighbor happened to be looking out of his second story window of his house when this incident occurred and immediately called 911. Emergency personnel arrived promptly to save my life by pulling me out of the window of my automobile. I was taken by paramedic personal by ambulance to the emergency room of a nearby hospital were it was determined I had not sustained any immediate injuries at all. The automobile was later determined to be a totaled wreck.
