NHTSA Complaint #10716775 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT MOVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY SHIFTER MECHANISM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $468 AND THE PART ONLINE CAN BE REPAIRED AT NO COST OR REPLACED FOR $15 TO $30. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR MORE THAN JUST 2006 300C AUTOS. IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT ADMIT TO THE FLAW WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM STEP UP AND REPAIR OR REIMBURSE CONSUMERS WHO WILL NO DOUBT NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY WHEN THE PART FAILS.
