Seems to be a common problem with these models. Check for an orange tab under the lever bezel, push it to release the lever, and then drive straight to the service garage to get it fixed. It won't work this way a 2nd time.
Lost communication with the gear shift module.
There is a plastic piece inside the gear shift console that breaks and makes it impossible to move out of park without special effort. Do not try to force the gear shift or you will just make things worse.

If your 2005 Chrysler 300 won't shift out of park, it could be due to a few reasons. Common causes include a faulty brake light switch, which prevents the release of the shift lock, or issues with the shifter assembly itself. Additionally, if the vehicle's battery is low or there are electrical issues, it may not allow you to shift gears. Checking the brake lights and the shifter mechanism can help diagnose the problem.
