Posted on: 2002-02-15
Description
On certain sport utility vehicles, if a driver has not placed the shifter lever fully into the park position and leaves the vehicle running, the vehicle may unexpectedly move rearward after seeming to be stable.

Consequence
Inadvertent movement of the vehicle could result in a crash.

Dealers will install a secondary detent system to the floor shifter assembly.  Daimlerchrysler sent interim notices to owners concerning this problem on march 22, 2002.  Owner notification began september 23, 2002.  Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
