I HAVE OWNED TWO CHRYSLER 300'S BOTH BEING THE MODEL YEAR 2007 AND BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT GETTING STUCK IN PARK. LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO SUMMER SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND COULD NOT GET MY CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE AND USE A SCREWDRIVER TO GET THE CAR IN DRIVE. "UNFORTUNATELY" I KNEW HOW TO DO THIS BECAUSE THE 2007 MODEL THAT I OWNED THREE YEARS AGO DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE DOWN WHEN EVER I PARK MY CAR BECAUSE IF I PLACE IT IN PARK I WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THE STEPS AGAIN TO UNLOCK IT. HUGE ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PIECE HAPPENS TO BE MEDAL. SO I ASK WHY WOULD CHRYSLER GO THE CHEAP ROUTE AND PLACE A PLASTIC PIECE IN ALL OF THE VEHICLES (THAT COST A PRETTY PENNY) INSTEAD OF DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND HAVING THE MEDAL PIECE IN IT FROM THE START. SOUNDS LIKE A WAY TO GET CUSTOMERS TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND SPEND MORE MONEY. HORRIBLE BUSINESS ETHICS AND DUE TO THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO ME TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER JEEP OR DODGE AGAIN! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I STARTED UP THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UP UNDER THE HOOD. I THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE VEHICLE BESIDE ME SO I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND THE NOISE STOPPED. I STARTED MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. SO I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, RAISED THE HOOD AND OBSERVED COOLANT ON THE VEHICLE'S FRAME AND ON THE GROUND. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT ONE OF THE TWO COOLING FANS SEPARATED AND PUNCTURED THE RADIATOR IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE BUT CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE SPECIFICALLY STIPULATED IN THE RECALL OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

HEARD LOUD NOISE WHEN NEARING HOME. WAS INSIDE HOME PARK. CAR SEEMED OKAY SO CONTINUED COUPLE BLOCKS TO DRIVEWAY. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AND SAW SOME SMOKE COMING OUT OF HOOD. HAD MY SON LOOK UNDER HOOD TO FIND COOLING FANS COME APART. VISIBLE DAMAGE TO RADIATOR. CALLED DEALER AND THEY TOWED CAR TO THEIR FACILITY. MANAGER CALLED THIS MORNING TO VERIFY DAMAGE, HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE BUT THEY WOULD NOT FULLY COVER COST FROM CHRYSLER REPAIR DEPARTMENT, DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT $350.00. I FEEL THAT THIS A COST THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ABSORB AS I FEEL THAT IT WAS DEFECT OF CHRYSLER COMPONENTS. *TR

ENGINE
THE FAN BROKE AND FLEW INTO THE RADIATOR, PUNCTURING IT. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANKFULLY, I HAD JUST TURNED ONTO A STREET AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED THE FAN ASSEMBLY ON SOME OF THE MODELS, BUT NOT ON MINE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE CAR STARTS, THERE IS NO STATION LISTED ON THE RADIO. ALL I SEE IS RED LINES AND THE LONGER I DRIVE THAT PART ( CHANNEL INDICATOR) GETS HOT. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS FIRE BEHIND IT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL START A FIRE. IT COOLS DOWN WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR. I STARTED THE CAR THIS MORNING (6/15/14) NOW THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 4 LINES SHOWING, BUT IT STILL STARTS TO GET HOT. I'M GOING TO TRY TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER(HERITAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OWINGS MILLS,MD. 21117 410-356-1800) WHICH IS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. *JS

THE GEAR SELECTOR WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE (OR ANY OTHER GEAR). I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND OUT THAT 100'S OF OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ON 2006-2009 CHRYSLER 300'S. THE PART IS ABOUT $56.00. NOT SURE HOW MUCH THE LABOR WOULD BE TO INSTALL IT. *TR

ENGINE
PER THREE MECHANICS, THE COOLING FAN AND COOLING PIPE THERMOSTAT WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF THESE PARTS LOOSENING, THE RADIATOR DEVELOPED A HOLE IN IT. MY CAR WAS LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID AND STOPPED RUNNING UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, AND DECIDED TO CALL AROUND FOR A SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH AND FIFTH OPINION. EACH MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THESE SAME ISSUES LISTED WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONSISTENTLY REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST ME AND REFERRED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE INVESTIGATES THIS, AS THIS ISSUE IS VERY COSTLY AND NOT AS A RESULT OF ABUSE OR POOR USE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
