I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300 TOURING. I DROVE THE CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND PARKED IN MY CAR GARAGE AT HOME. I WENT TO THE CAR TO DRIVE OUT OF HOME, ENGINE STARTS WELL, BUT GEAR LEVER IS STUCK TO PARK, WILL NOT DISENGAGE. I RESEARCHED A LITTLE ABOUT THIS AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER CAR AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY SPECIFIC CAR. I THEN CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-853-1403. I SPOKE WITH [XXX] (EMPLOYEE ID [XXX]) WHO TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I MADE IT CLEAR TO HIM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM, A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT BEING SOLD TO CONSUMERS LIKE MYSELF AND THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. I REQUESTED FOR THE NAME AND EMAIL OR OTHER CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF RECALLS AT CHRYSLER AND [XXX] TOLD ME HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO GO FIX MY CAR MYSELF FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I'VE HAD 3 DIAGNOSTICS TEST RAN THUS FAR. I WAS TOLD COULD BE DUE TO SOMETHING DEALING WITH THE FUEL PARTS-I'M NOT TECHNICALLY INCLINED IN CAR TERMINOLOGY. PLEASE HELP. I PROVIDED A GUESTIMATE OF THE FIRST INITIAL OCCURRENCE. THANKS *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM PARK. NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE IS NOTHING INDICATING THERE IS ANY ISSUE. PRESSING THE BRAKE DOES NOT SEEM TO UNLOCK THE SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. CONTACTED CHRYSLER GROUP AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN OTHER MODEL YEARS, THE 2006 MODEL YEAR IS NOT CURRENTLY COVERED. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND SHORTLY AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING THE ENGINE STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. SINCE THEN IT HAS STALLED ON ME EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK SO I HAVE ONLY BEEN FILLING IT 3/4 FULL AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM (PE13-016) AND CALLED CHRYSLER BUT WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT FIT THE EXACT CRITERIA OF THE RECALL. CHRYSLER COULD NOT TELL ME WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. *TR
