NHTSA Complaint #10482506 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300

SECOND SHIFTER WAS INSTALLED 9-4-2008, MILEAGE WAS 37454. AT COST OF $508.00. THE CAR ALMOST IMMEDIATELY NEEDED THE BRAKE STEPPED ON NUMEROUS TIMES TO ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO RELEASE SO THE CAR COULD BE PLACED IN GEAR.9-19-2012 THE CAR WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO NAPLES DODGE, WHERE ANOTHER SHIFTER WAS INSTALLED AT A COST OF $560.00. THE SECOND UNIT WAS 4578029AC THE THIRD 68091343AA. A NEW CLIP HAS BEEN ADDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS OCCURRED IN AVENGERS, SEBRINGS, ETC. RATHER THAN ASK FOR A RECALL. CHRYSLER IS HAVING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, WHILE THEY NEEDED THREE DIFFERENT SHIFTER(CLIPS) TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECTIVE DESIGN. I HAVE WRITTEN THEM A LETTER STATING MY CONCERNS BUT THEY HAVE DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
