Can the paddle shifters be replaced easily. My downshift paddle has had play in it since delivery. I forgot to mention it when I was at the dealership having the top radiator hose replaced last month. It functions correctly but has just enough play to be a problem and i dont want to leave the thing at the dealer while they figure out what to do.

any advice is appreciated

Maybe just a loose screw? Have you checked. Just a suggestion.

Went ahead and had the oil changed ahead of the preferred schedule. While doing so the tech took off the panel and yes the paddle screw was loose. Thanks for the reply

Good job! Glad it's fixed. Now go paddle shift the hell out of the truck!

My paddle shifters both seem to be loose, like when I hit bumps you can hear them vibrate.....they make a noise like someone lightly tapping on metal. Anyone else have this problem? Do you guys have any play in yours or are they tight?

Mine are tight as a drum. Get them to check the screws, I've heard of at least 2 people that this has been the problem. Easy fix hopefully.

The ones in my 300 are tight as well, definitely have them tightened up

My right shifter is making the same noise! It was killing me! Finally figured out where it was coming from, going to try and tighten her down today though.

Mine is not making the noise but there is a small amount of play in the right one as well. I took the back cover off and I couldn't find anything that would tighten it up.

ya, I just took the cover off and broke some of the latches dammit. Where can I get a new panel?

dealer??

 

[cyanideg]

anyone have a part number for the right panel?

 

[kbench55]

Is the number maybe stamped on the inside of the panel?

Called parts dept. and gave them my VIN and they said they cant find the panel... Said that they never went into production. Ya good job.

I went through a similar situation for a hood silencer/liner. I wouldn't leave without it ordered. They need to call Chrysler and they can look up the part number. Turns out the hood liner wasn't catalogued properly, that's why they couldn't find it at the dealer. I got the parts manager and told them its straight up BS. They are building the Jeeps in Detroit right now, the part is on the assembly line. Now get me the f-ing part. I got what I wanted. I gave them hell, but someone had to motivate them.

Good luck!

haha, I had to do what I had to do. Some people just need some motivation to make them work. If I want something I'll get it.
