The gear shifting mechanism/transmission is faulty. I place my truck into park upon coming to a stop, and my truck rolls away with me in it. This happens intermittently, and could not be repeated at the dealer when i took it in for service. I was told to buy a wheel chock to use to keep it from rolling away.*dt*jb

Was told my dealership they see this often and was told fca has fixed the problem in newer years by using stronger material in the bolts. This informs me that fca knows of the problem but the dealers…
