NHTSA Complaint #11010665 — 2006 CHRYSLER 300C

GEAR SHIFTER ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER 300C GOT STUCK IN PARK ON 6/25/17 AT ABOUT 98,400 MILES. LUCKILY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO LOOK UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A K39 RECALL RELATING TO THIS SAME GEAR SHIFT PROBLEM. BUT FOR SOME REASON, THAT RECALL ONLY COVERED THE 2005-2007 300 LX MODELS, NOT THE 300C MODEL. HERE IS LINK TO RECALL LETTER: HTTP://WWW.WKJEEPS.COM/MISC/LX/TSB_300C_FORUMS/CSN_K39.PDF. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT TO NOT INCLUDE THE 300C MODELS IF IT HAD THE SAME POORLY DESIGNED PINK PLASTIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK AS THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE GEAR SHIFTER BEING STUCK IN PARK. I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK GEAR WITH A SCREWDRIVER. AND ANOTHER VIDEO TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK THEMSELVES. WITH THE EXISTENCE OF THESE YOUTUBE VIDEOS, THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD INDICATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SOME CHRYSLER MODELS. BUT WHY DID THEY NOT RECALL THE 2005-2007 300C MODELS???
