DC Recalling Nearly 600K Vehicles
Chrysler announced two major recalls Friday. The first involves about 300,000 vehicles with a transmission defect that can prevent the driver from putting the shifter in “Park.” The recall affects some 2005 model year Jeeps, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum, Dodge Durango, and Dodge Dakota/Misubishi Raider pickups.
The second recall affects about 283,000 Dodge Ram pickups from the 2003-2005 model years equipped with diesel engines and automatic transmissions. Apparently the shift lever may not engage “Park” if the driver does not fully place the lever in the “Park” position, allowing the car to roll away. Dealers will install an alarm alerting drivers if they try to exit while the engine is running and the car is not in “Park.”

Well, just keep in mind that Ford is recalling over a million vehicles with a...Surprise surprise...fire problem!!!! I'm not kidding!! Then GM is also recalling over a million vehicles because of both transmission and brake problems....I know with Dodge and Chrysler, you don't want to see a major recall, but look on the bright side, Ford and GM have major problems also...bigger then Dodge and Chrysler!!

RE: DC Recalling Nearly 600K Vehicles
So let me get this straight, if I don't put my car all the way in the "Park" position, it may roll. Hmmm.
I used to have a manual transmission that would roll if I left it in "Neutral".
Probably a result of some frivolous lawsuit.
I think I'll pass on the alarm but thank you anyway Viper!
