This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
On 5 separate occasions, the vehicle indicated vehicle is in park. However, this has happened while vehicle is in motion. Once, on highway and remaining four times occurred on city streets. On all 5 occasions, vehicle would allow me to put into park but would not allow me turn vehicle off. 4 of 5 times this occurred, I drove around while occasionally stopping to put car into reverse and back thru gears again before it'd finally let me park and turn off. 1 of 5 times, the car let me put into park and press start button until it went to 3rd setting before it'd allow me turn vehicle me off. In addition, 2 times this vehicle, while in motion on city street, has switched into 1 or 2 drive gear without my putting it there. Once stopped, I had to try going thru gears many times before it'd let me return to D. my belief is there is an issue with shifter or perhaps an issue with whatever ties in or attached to shifter. I apologize I'm not mechanically inclined. I do have pictures and a video of car not shutting off because it states it's in park when it's not.
When I put the car in drive, I hear the car wanting to go in overdrive. It is scary and sometimes it jumps to overdrive 1 or 2. I have to slow down put it in neutral while all the time on the major highway..very scary.. I've been very prudent because it doesn't do it all the time..icons have brake on and a small motor light on?..went to the local garage and they couldn't see the problem, they took it out for a dive on Florida highway 95 and they couldn't feel anything!! I still drive the car but very worried. Hope to hear from you soon. The oil and car checked when sticker says to bring it in!! I'm experiencing this a least 3 times a week and getting more often!!
The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler 300. While parked, the vehicle failed to turn off. The vehicle was equipped with a keyless ignition. In addition, "vehicle not in park" was displayed across the message board even though the gear shifter was shifted into the park position. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the contact needed to make sure that the gear shifter was firmly in park, but did not diagnose that any part needed to be replaced. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 10/06/16
The check engine lite came on stayed on and the engine stopped. After a short period of time the engine started and the vehicle was taken to the nearest dealer in wilmington, nc. The dealer found dtc for incorrect gear ratio and reprogrammed the transmission control module. Old code was #68065111af and the new #was 68065111ag. Since that period of time when the vehicle speed reaches 40mph it seems that the transmission wants to downshift. Prior to the code change it was very smooth and no problems. I have contacted Chrysler customer service on numerous occasions for a resolution but all they can say is there isn't a problem. What has caused me to submit this problem is the response I received today on my latest inquiry. I feel that this condition is a safety hazard due to you not knowing how the transmission is going to react at this speed, what gear is it possibly going to select. Has this or a similar problem been submitted before. The drivetrain is still under warranty but if Chrysler can't provide adequate technical responses then what do you do. If any additional information is required please contact me and I will provide whatever I have.
