Description of the problem	2005 dodge 2500 4x4 crew cab with cummins diesel does not indicate the transmission is in park even with the shift lever in the park detent position. I complained to the servicing dealer in 12/06 and numerous parts were changed in the transmission. The changes helped temporarily but the problem came back. I returned the truck to the dealer in 2009 for the same issue and was told the transmission was performing to specs and no work was performed to correct the problem. On 11/14/2011 i exited the vehicle with the transmission lever in the park detent position and the engine running. After about 15 seconds the truck shifted into reverse backed into a vehicle and a building. Chrysler investigated the incident and informed me that the vehicle is out of warranty with 118000 miles even though no repairs were done when requested while under warranty. The truck has a factory recall to install some sort of alarm. Chrysler says the recall was mailed to me in 2006 and 2007 but the truck was at the dodge dealership for this complaint after the supposed notification and while covered under my chrysler 100,000 mile extended warranty for two days and the recall was not performed. Research shows this is very common with this model truck with pages upon pages of these incidents retrieved by conducting an internet search and i cannot believe a fix cannot be found for this issue or the government is not forcing chrysler to correct the issues.
