A problem with floor-mounted gear shifts has led Chrysler, a division of DaimlerChrysler, to recall 2.7 million cars to fix a potential problem with their floor-mounted gear shifts.
Vehicles affected by the recall include the 1995-1999 Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus and Plymouth Breeze; 1996-1999 Sebring convertibles; and 1993-1999 Chrysler 300M, Chrysler Concorde, Chrysler LHS, Dodge Intrepid and Eagle Vision cars, the automaker said.
The problem is that if the gear shifter is pulled too hard, it could allow people to remove their keys without shifting into park.
