| Description of the problem | On march 7, 2008, i drove from cleveland, oh to columbus, oh. The roads were slightly snow covered but slippery and i had either the automatic or full-time 4wd engaged during the 120 mile trip. Upon arriving at my destination, i parked the vehicle on a slight uphill grade. As i exited the vehicle and began to unload it, the vehicle began to roll backwards. I was able to get back in and stop it, and double checked to make sure the shift lever was fully in the parked position. It was. I restarted the vehicle and drove it back up the grade, placed the shift lever firmly in park, turned off the engine and waited. Sure enough, the vehicle began rolling backwards. I made a special attempt to verify that the vehicle wheels were indeed turning rather than the vehicle slipping with the wheels locked (in park). I repeated this 3 more times and experienced the same occurrence; the vehicle was indeed rolling and not slipping. |
