NHTSA Complaint #10825219 — 2014 CHRYSLER 300

I FEEL THE GEAR SELECTOR ON MY 2014 CHRYSLER 300 IS VAGUE, CONFUSING, AND DANGEROUS. IT IS ELECTRONIC AND PIVOTS INSTEAD OF MOVING ONE SPOT FOR EACH GEAR SELECTION. IF YOU PARK AND ATTEMPT TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO PARK SOMETIMES IT MAKES IT AND SOMETIMES IT ENDS UP IN REVERSE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN YOU PUSH THE STOP BUTTON AND AS YOU STEP OUT THE CAR TAKES OFF BACKWARDS. ALSO WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE SOMETIMES IT GOES PAST DRIVE AND INTO LOW, SO I ENDED UP DRIVING FOR A TIME STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND NOT KNOWING UNTIL YOU GO TO SLOW OR STOP AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE STUCK ON SO YOU START LOOKING FOR THE REASON. I HAVE HATED THIS CAR ALMOST SINCE I LEASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2014. I FEEL WITH THE LACK OF A SWITCH KEY TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND OFF, AND THIS VAGUE GEAR SELECTOR THIS GROUP OF VEHICLES IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT I STILL HAVE 13 MONTHS LEFT AND CAN DO NOTHING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS...THANK YOU *TR ...UPDATED 03/31/17 *BF *JS
