Problem overview

Some Chrysler 300 owners report experiencing transmission bucking issues when shifting from park to drive, which may indicate transmission slipping if there is a noticeable delay before the vehicle starts moving. Additionally, rough shifting, hesitation, or slipping gears have been reported, suggesting potential transmission problems that may require professional diagnosis and repair. A broken shift interlock latch can prevent the vehicle from shifting out of park, and replacing it with a metal latch may resolve this issue. Furthermore, low or dirty transmission fluid is a common cause of shifting problems, making it essential to check the fluid levels. Issues with the shift linkage or torque converter can also contribute to difficulties in shifting. It is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their Chrysler 300 inspected by a certified technician for accurate diagnosis and appropriate solutions.
