NHTSA Complaint #10630554 — 2007 CHRYSLER 300

I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN I TRIED TO BACK OUT THE CAR, THE GEAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. THE MANUAL SAID TO REMOVE AND THE SMALL STORAGE BIN AND PRESS THE PINK TAB. NOTHING HAPPENED. I CALLED AAA TOWING AND THEY CAME OUT. HE REMOVED THE ENTIRE TOP PORTION AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND SAID TO RELEASE THE GEAR SHIFT USE YOUR FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE FIRST THING YOU FEEL. IT WORKED AND EACH TIME I REMOVE FROM PARK, I HAVE TO RUN MY FINGER ALONG THE CABLE AND PUSH THE BUTTON. HE SAID THAT A PINK $14 PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY QUOTED ME $450 TO REPAIR. I CALLED MY AUTO SHOP IN LA QUINTA AND THEY QUOTED $120. EVERYONE SAID THAT THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME ON THE CHRYSLER 300. *TR
