2007 Chrysler 300 Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER 300C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT TO DRIVE, THE SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM SEIZED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE CONTACT THROUGH INTERNET RESEARCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND STOPPED AT A PARKING LOT, AND WHEN I STARTED TO LEAVE MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SHIFTER BREAKS THE CAR MUST BE TOWED FOR REPAIR. JUST AFTER I CALLED THE WRECKER A PICK-UP IN THE SAME PARKING LOT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BUSINESS TRIED TO EVACUATE THE PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE UNTIL THE WRECKER ARRIVED. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE BURNING PICK-UP THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY CAR, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFERENT STORY IF I WAS PARKED NEXT TO THE PICK-UP. THE DEALER OVER-NIGHTED THE PART FROM TULSA OKLAHOMA AND REPLACED THE PART THE NEXT MORNING. WE WERE CHARGED FOR TOWING AND REPAIR. SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SHIFTER BREAKING, I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM, THUS WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT & FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE , I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT & SHUT CAR OFF . I GOT OUT AND SEEN ANTI-FREEZE COMING OUT , SO I CALLED AAA & HAD MY CAR TOWED APPROX 38 MILES TO MY SHOP . MY MECHANIC PICKED THE CAR UP THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY & REPAIRED IT . HE SAID THE ENGINE COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY SEPARATED & TWO OF THE FAN BLADES BROKE OFF & WENT THROUGH MY RADIATOR . AFTER I PICKED IT UP , I BEGAN RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM . I FOUND A ( CAMPAIGN - RADIATOR COOLING FAN REPLACEMENT BULLETIN FROM CHRYSLER CORP. FROM JUNE 2011 ( MDH 042912 ) THAT SAID THE FAN COULD SEPARATE & CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR , I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE & I GAVE THEM MY VIN # & THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL & WOULD NOT RE-IMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR OR TOW BILL . THEY SAID THAT WAS FOR 2006-2007 & 2008 MODELS BUILT UP TO APRIL 29 , 2008 ( MY CAR WAS BUILT IN MAY OF 2007 ) , I TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN THE RECALL HAPPENED TO MY CAR .
