What owners wrote
I purchase a 300 touring on nov 5 2006. This was a brand new car with only 4 mile. The check engine light came on the first time on nov 17. I contacted the dealership and took the car in. I was told that they did a diagnostic test and didn't see any code indicating that anything was wrong. The light was reset and the car was return to me. I drove it again for several days and the light came back on again for the second time nov 23 2006. I contact the dealership again and took the car in.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300. After starting the vehicle the contact noticed that the gear shift would shift out of park. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where the gear shift assembly was replaced. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 85000.
