NHTSA Complaint #10610066 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300C

GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED, BUT SAID "YOUR VIN" ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL THAT THEY HAVE ON IT. ITS SOME PINK PLASTIC THING THAT BREAKS, THE "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 - TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER" APPARENTLY ONLY APPLIES TO CERTAIN "VIN"S. CHATTED ONLINE WITH "CUSTOMER CARE" AGENT AT CHRYSLER WHICH WAS BRIEF, SHE STATED MY VIN ISN'T COVERED I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, AS SHE WAS RUDE, SO I DIDN'T GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED WHEN THERE ARE TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE PROBLEM. A SIMPLE SEARCH ON-LINE BRINGS UP OVER 150K RESULTS, AND I SEE HERE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS TOO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AN ACTUAL METAL SOLID REPLACEMENT PIECE COSTS $15, I'LL HAVE TO GET THE DEALER OR A MECHANIC TO INSTALL IT (THE DEALERS REPLACE WITH SAME PLASTIC PIECE OR REPLACE WHOLE SHIFTER)... SEEMS THIS IS ANOTHER "GM IGNITION SWITCH" WAITING TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE WON'T CAUSE ANY DEATHS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY ONLY SOME VINS ARE BEING FIXED. *TR
