Consumer Description

2008 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK; THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED. DEALER SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SHIFT INTERLOCK BREAKING. THE ENTIRE SHIFTER UNIT MUST BE REPLACED; COST $150-$200 SINCE THE SEBRING IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE PART BREAKS ON SEVERAL CURRENT CHRYSLER MODELS ALL THE TIME; A WEB SEARCH CONFIRMS IT. A BRIGHT PINK PLASTIC PIECE BREAKS WHERE A SPRING ATTACHES TO IT, THAT ALLOWS THE INTERLOCK TO DISENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. WHAT IF THIS COMMON PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE IN A REMOTE LOCATION WITH NO CELL PHONE SERVICE? WHAT IF YOU NEEDED YOUR CAR FOR A MEDICAL EMERGENCY? *TR
