| Description of the problem | Vehicle type : 2005 dodge 2500 diesel automatic transmission. Truck was recalled for a problem with transmission not going into park. The fix was to install an alarm that sounds the horn when the truck is in reverse, driver's door is open and the foot brake is released. This is the condition a truck driver would use when hooking up to a boat, utility trailer or a rv. This is not a fix for the real problem but generates more problems by making it very hard to look to the rear out of the door when backing up to make a hookup with out the horn sounding. It is causes a problem in camps sites and boat ramps where backing up and needing to look out the door for safety. *jb |
