"I have a 2014 Chrysler 300S with this shift lever and it IS dangerous.  From the day I bought it I hated it.  I even asked the dealership to ensure it was working properly because I was forever missing Park.  They assured me it was working fine, and I just needed to double-check the gear before I got out of the car.  18-months later I still screw it up regularly, although (touch wood) it hasn't killed me.  Yet."
