Description of the problem | The shifter detent in my 300 broke without any warning. I was able to change gears without any problems until this incident when i went to drive my car, and i couldn't get the gear out of park. When i had the car towed to the chrysler car dealer i was told that this part had broke. Their corrective action was to rebuild shifter assembly. The part number used to fix the problem was 68088259ab - lever kit shifterint. I asked what i could have done to cause this part to brake so i can prevent it from happening again, and the service associate told me that it was nothing i could have done to cause it. I didn't recover the old part from the car dealer. I spoke with others chrysler and dodge owners, and they said they have experienced the same problem with their 300 or charger. This piece shouldn't brake without any damage to it or wear out. I haven't heard of this problem occurring with any other car manufacturers, and the fact that it is occurring to many people with the same vehicle means that this must be manufacturer issue. This problem should be corrected, and chrysler/dodge should be responsible for these occurrences. |
