THE SHIFT INTERLOCK LEVER HAD THE RETURN LEVER SPRING HOOK BREAK OFF. THIS LEFT THE SHIFTER LOCKED IN PARK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED IN OUR DRIVEWAY AT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE SHIFTER HOWEVER THE CAR IS SHOWING THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO THE SEAT WILL NOT FULLY ADJUST AND THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL (K39) ON THIS ITEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL CAR, HOWEVER I WAS INFORMED BY MY DEALER THAT MY CAR DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE BUILD DATE TO QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE THE RIGHT YEAR AND MODEL AND THE SAME PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY. I FEEL THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM.

MY CAR'S 96,000 MILE ENGINE SUDDENLY BLEW A #6 CYLINDER SOON AFTER I DROVE FROM WORK. I HAVE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE HISTORY. NEVER HAD ANY WARNING OR ISSUES. NOW I'M TOLD TO PAY 6500 FOR ANOTHER ENGINE WITH MORE MILES. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER HEMI ENGINES. MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATOR. WHY HAS CHRYSLER BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

ENGINE
12/5/2015 WENT TO THE MARKET, 2 MILES FROM HOME. WENT INTO THE STORE FOR APPROX. 15 MINUTES. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR TO START IS WOULDN'T START, NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. COULDN'T MOVE CAR SO HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, MCPEEKS DODGE OF ANAHEIM. SERVICE WRITER TOLD US THAT THE NOISE IN THE ENGINE WAS TWO VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING CYLINDER HEAD AND BORE DAMAGE. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD OUR CAR SERVICE BY DEALER WHEN WE NEEDED OIL CHANGE, TUNE UP OR WHATEVER WAS NECESSARY FOR CAR. WE KEEP CAR IN GARAGE AND DRIVE AT POSTED SPEED AND ALWAYS KEEP OUR VEHICLE IN NEW CONDITION. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE IN OUR SEVENTIES SO WE AREN'T RECKLESS WITH OUR VEHICLES. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY ENGINE TROUBLE AND THE SERVICE WRITER COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD HAPPENED WITH ONLY 44,612 MILES ON A 2007 VEHICLE WHICH WE BOUGHT NEW IN 2007. WE HAD TO PAY $8749.65 FOR A NEW ENGINE WHICH IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 3 YRS OR 70,000 MILES. WE ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 5,000 MILES A YEAR. SO THIS MEANS IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN I WOULD HAVE ONLY PUT 15,000 MILES ON MY CAR IN THREE YEARS. THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG. AFTER REVIEWING ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET I FIND THAT CHRYSLER HAS ENGINE PROBLEMS WITH 2006, 2007 VEHICLES...ENGINE GOES OUT AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, OURS AT 44,612. WE PAID $42,000 FOR THE CAR NEW IN 2007. CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR OUR PROBLEM SINCE THEY KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH 300, 300C ENGINES. WE ARE OUT THE TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE REPAIR USING A SMALL SAVINGS WE HAVE AS A RETIRED COUPLE. A SEVEN YEAR OLD CAR WITH 44,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE A ENGINE LAST LONGER. AS NOTED THE CAR WAS STOPPED AND PARKED AT A SUPERMARKET FOR NO MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AND DID NOT DEMONSTRATE ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM DROVE BEAUTIFULLY. WE HAVE THE BILL, WHICH HAS BEEN PAID BY US. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO DOWNLOAD, BUT I COULD FAX IF CONTACTED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING, WITH NO WARNINGS ON THE DASHBOARD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF THE GARAGE ONE MORNING THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC WHO KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN IT DE-ACCELERATES WHILE TURNING TO THE RIGHT. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS THE CAR ACTUALLY STOPPED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NO PROBLEM REGISTERS AND CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED UNLESS THEY MECHANIC CAN GET IT TO DUPLICATE. NOW, THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT DROVE FINE, I GOT HOME PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE AGAIN, GOT INTO THE VEHICLE TO START IT UP AND IT WILL NOT START. NO MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE LIGHTS TURN ON YET IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. AT LEAST THIS TIME WHEN EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE I WAS SAFELY HOME AND NOT ON THE STREET, OR HIGHWAY DRIVING AS I HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.
