What owners wrote
2000 dodge dakota quadcab - I was going forward in my driveway when I stopped the truck and put it in "park", engine still running. I got out of the truck and after about 15 seconds it engaged itself in reverse. It smashed through a gate and I got injured when I got caught between the gate and the left front fender of the truck. When the truck stopped I got in and still found it indicating in "park". The driveway was level.
Transmission shifted rough from when it was brand new. Brought to dealershop no less then 10 times in 5 years complaining. No problem could be id'd until last week. The engine malfunction light came on while sitting in park. The dealership id'd problem as faulty valve body. Replaced valve body and transmission solenoid, at a cost of over $950. Vehicle has 63,000 miles.
