Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / April 2006Fianally recalled my truck
Diesel automatics from '01 and up on are getting a software upgrade to install an alarm to avoid reverse runaways... seems like all these guys that commented on their trucks backing up after putting in park were right!! Someone in here owes a bunch of them an apology... Think it'll get done? M.  SignatureMarriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband!! You might want to think twice before having it done. The "alarm" is your horn going off. So anytime you you happen to have the door open and in reverse...like when backing up in a tight spot, guess what.....you horn starts blaring. Thanks, but no thianks.

So, there has been a problem with the trucks slipping from park to reverse and Chrysler's fix is a warning horn? Maybe not the most ideal solution, but its a start.. they admit it, and now you don't have your truck going Knight Rider on your a.s and running you over when you hook up the fiver...

I guess you were lucky. Was a common happening yeas ago.

Audi had an issue with it, and so did Ford IIRC. > I guess you were lucky.

BTW, my tranny won't come out of park (if properly put into park) without the brake on, M. >Ya know . . .in my 30+ years of driving, including Ford automatics, I've >never had a single transmission go into reverse when I made sure it was >firmly and properly placed in "PARK" . . . . . were any of them automatics? *g* did anyone else think of "senior moment" when they read the "recalled my truck" topic??

I had a old guy "show" me how he was checking his tranny fluid a couple 8 years ago. He came to the shop saying his fluid level was wrong. After I checked the level for him and informed him it was correct, he comenced to inform me that I had to be wrong. So....after chatting him up for a while, I asked him to come out and check it himself. It wasn't long after walking outside that I found out............ he checks his fluid with the car in gear......parked against the garage, because "someone" told him to check it in gear. Needless to say...he left a happy cussingmer. still makes me chuckle ~:~ marsh ~never,ever,never....ever.....say you've seen it all~ |
