CHRYSLER RECALL #K39 CONSISTED OF MOST 2005 - 2007 WHO HAD OR MAY HAVE THE ISSUE. I PHONED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM THAT I NOW HAVE THE ISSUE BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED ON JUNE/JULY 24, 2007. MY THOUGHT IS THAT IF IT HAD TO BE MANUFACTURED IN 2007 HOW WOULD ANY 2005-2006 VEHICLE QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THEN ALL THE REPRESENTATIVE KEPT SAYING IS THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY, WHILE I AM INFORMING HIM THAT IT HAS TO QUALIFY BECAUSE MY SHIFT IS DOING JUST WHAT YOU ALL RECALLED. HE KEPT SAYING, WELL THAT IS NOT ON "YOUR LIST". WELL, I NEED HIM TO ADD IT TO "MY LIST". WHATEVER "LIST" HE IS SPEAKING OF. THE STUCK SHIFT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ABOUT 11:00PM WHEN I GOT OFF FROM WORK, STARTED MY CAR, WENT TO SHIFT GEARS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I FEEL MY CAR'S SHIFT FAILURE FALLS IN-LINE WITH THE RECALL K39.
