2005 CHRYSLER 300 Power Train Problems

This is a serious safety concern regarding the shift interlock system on my 2005 Chrysler 300. When the vehicle is in Park, particularly in traffic, and the light turns green, I am forced to lift the coin attachment and manually press the pink interlock just to change gears or accelerate. This creates a dangerous situation where I am unable to move the vehicle promptly, potentially leaving me vulnerable to a rear-end collision. The issue stems from Recall 05V462000, which specifically addresses a shift interlock defect that Chrysler has failed to address despite my repeated attempts to have it repaired. Chrysler has not taken any action to resolve the recall issue, leaving me in a potentially life-threatening situation every time I drive. It is unacceptable that this recall has not been acted upon, and this critical safety defect must be corrected immediately.

The vehicle began to shutter in reverse. This went on for about a week. Transmission fluid level was checked and it was in the normal range. My husband and I were driving it and made a sharp turn to find us in a spot to continue forward and go off a cliff or back up and get out of traffics way. He backed up and we heard a clunk. The car continues to drive forward with no issues but it acts as of it’s in neutral when you put it in reverse. No codes are showing either.

my engine blew, transmission is slipping. I’m having electrical and air bag problems.

Reverse gear went out after vehicle slipped once, acted as if in neutral when in reverse and pressing gas pedal down but would not move. Had local towing and mechanic shop in Gower Missouri check transmission fluid level in which was found to be a quart low on transmission fluid. Car had been extremely well maintained and all recommended maintenance services completed by previous owners. Able to drive car in all other gears, codes p0007 code appear with no check engine light or any type of warning or indication that a problem was present within my 2005 Chrysler 300 3.5l v6 rwd car with the 42rle transmission My vehicle also has issues occur suddenly regarding front end suspension has death shake and very loud clinking popping banging noises while driving at all speeds. Steering wheel has a weird squeek/creeking noise when turning the wheel at times and feels like steering...

COULD NOT GET GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WE TOOK APART CASING, FOUND THE PINK PLASTIC BROKE. LOOKED AT YOUTUBE TO FIX. ORDER PART ON AMAZON. THE PLASTIC PIECE IS NOW MADE OF METAL!!

ON THIS CHRYSLER 300 2005 THE CURRENT SAFETY PROBLEM IS AN INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER (FLOOR SHIFTER) OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION.

BUT OF COURSE, NO RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE DEALERSHIP (EVEN THOUGHT I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 11 YEARS).

THE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK? THIS STARTED OFF HAPPENING ON OCCASION. BUT NOW HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST A PERMANENT SITUATION. THIS CAUSES A HAZARD BECAUSE IN ORDER TO NOT BEING ABLE TO AVOID BEING STRANDED. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE.
