Where would I be without the internet and people like you. Thanks a bunch! Had this prob with my 2007 Sebring and this worked to allow me to get to the dealership. I had no idea how I was going to get my car towed out of my garage. Whew! Thanks again!! :)

ty. Really thank you so much. You just saved me $150.00 towing costs. At least now I can drive it to the dealership to see if the recall issue with the tire pressure warning system shorting out is the cause of my seemingly electrical problems with the car dying for no reason while driving. May God go with you in all your ways. ty again.

I have an '08 Sebring and I had this problem with the shifter not wanting to come out of Park. I solved the problem by losing my temper and yanking quite hard on the shift lever. I heard a snapping sound come from inside the console and the shifter came out of Park. Now I no longer have to worry about Chryslers crappy shift lock interfering with my ability to drive my car.

+Craig Harmon If it truly is in park....it should start up and also you should be able to removed the key. If the key doesn't come out then it most likely isn't in park. Like I said....make sure you have two people......one with their feet on the brake pedal firmly....fist make sure its physically in park. Then start the vehicle. Then still having the brakes depressed, unhook the cable from the transmission and manually move the shifter lever at the trans from park....to reverse...to neutral....to drive. You would be moving the shifter linkage 3 positions. Then verify that it is in drive and then go to where you need to. Once there you need to put back in park again by going 3 positions in the opposite direction and then remove the key

Then a tow truck driver got it to shift to drive but I couldn’t get it to park or reverse w out turning it off and applying the e brake . What do you suggest ?

gaby miller sounds like the shifter bushing is gone out on the end of the shifter cable. Most likely the one at the transmission end. They sell bushing replacement kits for that but you have to order online. That’s most likely the cause of your issue. Thanks for asking and for watching. Make sure to subscribe

+Craig Harmon should be able to start in park and neutral. you may need to get under the hood and try like I mentioned. you need to move the linkage all the way one way to make sure its in park and starts...otherwise you have to move it the otherway to make sure that's park and start it. but first look to see that the cable is moving at the trans first before going that route

+Nicole Klaus (Ulalume) You said that the display on dash says park.....but the shifter is in park? I assume you meant that the shifter is in park but the display is not? If so then most likely the shifter cable has come off of the shifter inside the vehicle. You would need to remove the center console to gain access to the shifter and then see if the cable has come off. If I understand the issue wrong then please correct me.

R Rap Thanks for the reply. Theres a very good chance that the issue could be related to the shift interlock cable. It could be out of adjustment or damaged. Some times when the shifter has the issue mentioned in the video....people force it out of gear and then things get broken or damaged. The portion of the shifter that fails is related to the key that goes up to the key cylnder and prevents you from removing the key.

Hey there, I read past comments and got a bit jumpy because it may be what's wrong with my dad's car but I thought I'd add my problem anyway to see what you think it may be. 2007 Sebring Touring Edition (2.7L), new battery (as of January of this year) with a NO CRANK/NO START, you can't even hear a clicking just a buzzing (fuel pump?). Like the previous person, the Sebring won't start at all and is stuck in Park (position of shifter supposedly matches to dash display) aside from trunk release, everything else works. To get into trunk you have to go through backseat. Is it because the car doesn't think it's in park so it won't let me start it? Could it be that shifter cable bushing? I've checked all the fuses several times and I'm going to check the battery terminals (Note: Stupidest place to put a battery in the world... :-/) Sorry about the length of this comment, but I'm going mad trying to figure it out. My mum dad and I are all currently using one car between us and we all commute almost 90 minutes (both ways) every day... it's a nightmare.

+Supesfan88 Being that the indicator matches the shifter position....makes me think not a bushing issue. The shifter should still move even if a bushing issue.

If something comes to mind then I will reply back.

+Craig Harmon Afternoon Craig....first thing I want you to do is with the help of someone....check the movement of the shifter cable on the transmission. You need to have someone try to move the shifter inside the vehicle while looking at the cable linkage on the transmission to see if it moves as well. We want to see movement which would let us know the cable is okay. If no movement then we need to see what end the issue is on. Make sure the cable is attached properly at the transmission and then you may need to remove the center console to make sure the cable hasn't come off at the shifter assembly. In an emergence type situation....you can unhook the cable at the trans and have some one pressing on the brake pedal.....move the linkage to drive at the transmission so that it can be driven somewhere safe. It takes 2 people to do this so that you don't run over your self. That's an emergency situation so make sure to use it as a last ditch effort to get it out the road or somewhere safe. Look it over closely and let me know what you find.

+Mike Nichols There is a very good chance that the shifter cable bushing has come off. If the shifter was the issue then the vehicle would still start but the shifter would not more. Your saying it will not start which means that as long as everything else works like the lights, radio, etc....then the transmission itself most likely isn't in Park. It needs to be either in park or neutral for it to turn over. Usually the shifter will move still because the cable came off on one end. So the shifter does not move correct? You said it was stuck in park....just trying to make sure I understand fully

+Mike Nichols okay....shifter moves. Does the gear position on the dash match the position of the shifter on the console?

Mike Nichols radio stop working at the same time? The fuses related to the radio are #14 and #5 at the fuse box inside the vehicle on the left side of the dash. I don't see how this would be related to the issue but worth checking.

usually if the shifter will not come out of park its an issue at the shifter. The fact that its saying its in neutral and the shifter is in park usually means there is a shifter bushing failure. Whats odd is that you have both issues which doesnt make sense. Double check the connection of the trans cable to the transmission to make sure the bushing isnt worn out and gone. Thats the first step.

Constance Wooden Morning, I will try to get back in a few.....currently working and finding the time to check further is a bit difficult. What I do know is that there are no recalls that are incomplete on your vehicle. The tire pressure connector recall was completed in May of 2008. If your having issues with the connectors now....they will not do anything about it....its been 7 years. Sounds like you have a few issues.....each one can happen over time. The shifter cable rarely goes out but it can. I have put about 2-3 on this model. There is no one answer I can give you to help solve your problems. Every vehicle out there has common problems.....I see it at the dealership all the time. There are some models that I know what's wrong with before I check it. The information pulls up on my end when I enter the VIN so I'm not sure what they were talking about as far as not in their system. The shifter recall issue wasn't with the cable....it had to do with the mechanism that stops you from moving the shifter out of park unless the brake pedal is depressed. The recall wont be related to the cable. As far as the TPS system recall......you can have a lot of different issues with the tire pressure system that may or may not have anything to do with the connectors. Each item you mentioned needs to be checked. I would love too check it out for you but unless your located in Georgia....I wouldn't be much help.
