NHTSA Complaint #10275889 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING WITH ONLY 44,000 MILES ON IT. MY GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THERE IS AN OVERRIDE SWITCH ("PINK" ) THAT DID NOT WORK AS WELL. I GOT ONLINE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS MATTER AND THERE WAS NOT; HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE, I NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS ABOUT THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM 2005 TO CURRENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL MATTER. TODAY, MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENTIRE GIFT SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS BUSTED. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A CRAPPY DESIGN AND CHRYSLER HAS SINCE MADE A LITTLE BETTER DESIGN SHIFT GEAR THAN THE ONE THAT IS IN MY VEHICLE NOW. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING THESE SHIFT GEAR AND REPLACE WITH THE "MORE IMPROVED" DESIGN. *TR
