A few days ago my 2007 Chrysler 300 was stuck in park in the middle of a shopping center lot on a hot AZ day. The tow truck said that this is the problem he gets calls for most with Chrysler. He said that he carries a special tool to get them out of park. He said it is a little plastic pink piece that breaks. At the dealership they new exactly what I was talking about. When researching it on the internet I typed in google Chrysler 300 and the first thing that popped up was "Chrysler 300 stuck in park" in the search engine. The cashier stated it happens far to much and she wished Chrysler would do a recall. It was three hundred and some odd dollars to repair since the car was out of warranty. They put in a new gear shifter with the pink plastic piece. They can't just replace the pink plastic piece. They told me this could happen again and it was under warranty for 12 months. Im not happy about this and I will persuade everyone I know to say away from the Chrysler 300 when it comes to buying a new car!
I was driving with my two children and we were stranded when our 2007 Chrysler 300 was stuck in park. We cannot get it out of park and were left in a very dangerous part of town.
