They're planning a recall on that issue or something similar.

The rules about must shut off in park or foot on brake to shift, are NHTSA rules.

The "return-to-center" mechanism is a marketing thing... I believe Audi does the same (stupid) thing. Is that a defect? no. Has it caused problems? yes. That's what NHTSA is investigating. These findings could trigger another set of rules, but it's probably a moot point. Chrysler already dumped that shifter for a rotary dial which people seem to prefer (not me).
