NHTSA Complaint #10630340 — 2005 CHRYSLER 300C

I COULD NOT SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I WAS SO SURPRISED I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. ICALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED IN. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT IT WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN A SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE, CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. THIS PART WAS RECALLED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD TO PAY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL OR IF MY CAR WAS EVEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FURTHER RESEARCH DETERMINED THAT THE RECALL, SHOWN AS FOR MODEL YEARS 2005-2008, WAS ACTUALLY INCLUDED BUT DID NOT KNOW SO PAID FOR REPAIR. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS REPAIR. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THE RECALL. NEVER!!!!! *TR
