Description of the problem | I went to shift my vehicle out of park and realized that the shifter would not move. I tried multiple times and had no luck. I was forced to take the shifter covers off and manually pull the release cable in order to put the car into drive. I called chrysler and was told that a diagnosis alone would be 135. 00 dollars. I decided to bring the car to my own mechanic and he discovered that the shift interlock latch was causing the problem. He looked up a recall for 2005-2007 chrysler and told me that chrysler would be able to fix it. I called chrysler and they told me that since my car was produced in canada, it did not meet the requirements for the recall, even though it was the same exact part used on the u. S. Assembly lines. Chrysler says they are well aware of the shift interlock latch being faulty but refuses to take responsibility. There are many owners out there with the same problem posting to online forums. Chrysler needs to fix this issue! |
