Some Chrysler Concorde owners report experiencing issues with the gear shifter linkage, particularly when the shift selector cable snaps, leading to problems such as the gear shift getting stuck in park. This situation necessitates prompt repairs to restore proper functionality. Many owners find that a professional can complete the repair in under 10 minutes, but it is recommended to replace the shift cable from the shifter to the transmission and to apply WD40 on the shift linkage to alleviate stiffness before installing the new cable. Corrosion inside the shifter cable housing can also contribute to these issues, often requiring cable replacement for resolution. Accessing the transaxle side of the cable may involve raising the vehicle to locate the cable pivot near the trans dipstick tube. Additionally, there are repair kits available, such as the Bushing Fix® CH1KIT™, which are designed to provide a durable solution for these concerns. It is crucial for owners to address these problems promptly to ensure the safe operation of their vehicle.
