I have a 2006 touring and have had no problems until yesterday when I wen to put the car in park it was would not move. I was able to get it to neutral. First problem I have had with tihs vehicle, but when you google this problem appears to be wide spread.

i have a 2006 300 c the transmission got stuck in park had to be towed and is costing 350 to repair. i looked up on line and there are 100`s of complaints on this. This part is plastic and looks like a BARBIE Hair pin> Chrysler should come up with something better than this. With all the problems that chrysler is having with this IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I guess Chrysler needs the Money

Do you drive a 2006 CHRYSLER 300?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
