Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Went to put the car into drive, could not. Turns out the transmission shifter interlock lever spring hook failed. I found there was a recall (k39) for this part, but it was VIN specific. Saw numerous complaints online as well as repair instruction. Called dealer who stated he hasn't heard of such a problem, but as a coincidence another 300 was being worked on today for the very same reason. Dealer also stated my VIN did not fall within the recall category. …”
NHTSA complaint #10690118, filed 2015-02, 100,000 miles“I went to drive the vehicle one day and it wouldn't shift out of park. I did considerable research online and found numerous reports of the same thing happening. The reported issue is that the transmission gear shift lever interlock spring breaks resulting in the vehicle being stuck in park. I found a temporary bypass method until I could get it repaired. Online, I found that there was a possible recall: Chrysler customer satisfaction notification k39. …”
NHTSA complaint #10474086, filed 2012-09, 100,050 miles“Upshift 1-2 bumpy has slight hesitate. Downshift 2-1 thump in rear at slow speeds. Not a smooth transition thru these gears. Car has been calibrated several times with no clear fix to this problem. This situation seems to be a built in problem with awd Chrysler 300c awd cars. This car has almost 20,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10277086, filed 2009-07, 50 miles“My car was stuck in park and would not move. I did some research and removed the components. I noticed that pink plastic shift releaser is not working properly. I also previously had a Chrysler 300 and it was the same issue. It will cost me over $400.00 because I will have to replace entire shift interlock system because of one plastic part. I will try to replace it myself with billeted aluminum part that I can buy at the car parts store, instead buying the whole system. I don't understand why Chrysler can not put more durable ones. …”
NHTSA complaint #10824272, filed 2016-02“The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler 300 AWD. The contact stated that the transmission failed and as a result, he was unable to shift out of park. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated that the transmission shifter interlock lever needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls. The failure mileage was 39,602.”
