NHTSA Complaint #10535881 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I WAS IN THE BANK DRIVE THRU WITH MY CAR IN PARK. I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED AAA AND WHEN THE TOW TRUCK MAN ARRIVED AND I TOLD HIM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, HE TOLD ME HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED...THE RED CLIP INSIDE THE GEARSHIFT BOX HAD BROKEN. HE SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO PACIFICAS AND 3000S AND IT'S A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE. HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR FOR ME SO I COULD DRIVE HOME, BUT IT IS BROKEN AND WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK (WITHOUT TRYING HIS TEMPORARY "FIX"). I CAME HOME AND WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH THE RECALL (BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER EVER GETTING A RECALL LETTER) AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. BASED ON WHAT THIS DRIVER TOLD ME, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CERTAIN CHRYSLER CARS (INCLUDING MINE) AND SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. *TR
