NHTSA Complaint #10508122 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300C

ONCE I STARTED MY CAR AND TRIED TO MOVE THE GEAR TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK POSITION. TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL THINKING IT WAS MAKING THE GEAR STICK BUT TO NO AVAIL. HAD TO EVENTUALLY CALL A TOW TRUCK WHO TOLD ME THAT WASN'T HIS FIRST CHRYSLER 300 HE'S HAD TO TOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. HE HAD TO GET UNDER THE CAR AS WELL AS GO THRU A PANEL BESIDE THE GEARS IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO EVEN MOVE TO BE PLACED ON THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER DROPPING OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP, I RESEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE CHRYSLER 300 2007 SERIES CAR. TURNS OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME OF THE CHRYSLERS BUILT FROM JUNE - SEPTEMBER 2007 FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A RECALL TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. I GOT THE ISSUE FIXED AS WELL BUT HAD TO PAY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME BECAUSE MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2007 THAT THERE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY ISSUE AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. CLEARLY CHRYSLER IS WRONG. *TR
