Description of the problem	I purchased my 2006 dodge 2500 4x4 brand new in 2006. My truck is in great condition except for two major concerns.. My a/c went out in dec. 2010 it was replaced with another defective one which was immediately replaced again. Dealer did not replace the flapper under dash. I took truck in nov. 2011 the windshield would get extremely foggy and a noise would come from under dash when i put a/c on high, dealer said it was the flap that would control where the air is directed. They wanted 800. 00 to replace a 34. 00 part. I told them that should have been fixed when they replaced a/c. Dealer said it still would not be covered under warranty anyway. This is a serious issue when fog gets on windshield why does someone have to die before a part is recalled. I have to open my windows to defrost my windshield. The other issue is when truck is supposedly in park and you open the door the horn honks, dash lights turn on and off and twice it has jumped into reverse on it's own. The first time i was at the post office putting mail outside i was a bit to far from box so i put it in park, opened door jumped off and truck jumped into reverse luckily i'm a small person and was able to jump in and step brake. This has happened about three times. The park does not engage properly because at heb i put it in park turn off truck went in store came back to turn on truck. It wouldn't start and it was in park. I had to put it in neutral to start it. Another customer came to see what was wrong i tried to put it in park again and it wouldn't go after about to more attempts it went into park i took it to dealer and they could not duplicate problem so nothing was done. I have reported it here so if something happens at least it was reported, if dodge doesn't do anything they will if more people see that others are having the same problem.
