What owners wrote
Dt: the contact's mother parked vehicle in a parking lot at a slight incline. She left the vehicle running. She got out of the vehicle, and the vehicle disengaged, knocking her down, and causing injuries. This vehicle came to a stop after hitting another vehicle. The vehicle repairs have not been made. The vehicle is still under warranty. Also, there, was NHTSA recall 05v460000.
I parked my car in my work parking lot. When I went out at the end of the day I was unable to get the car out of park. With motor running & brake applied there was still no release. I was forced to call a tow truck. The tow truck driver informed me he had towed 10 chrysler 300 that day for the exact same problem.
