2004 DODGE RAM 3500. OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY INTO PARK, AND THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY WHEN YOU GET OUT. WE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM ONLY TO NOW HAVE THE HORN BLAIR WHEN YOU ARE BACKING UP AND YOU HAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO GAGE THE DISTANCE. THIS STARTLED MY HUSBAND WHEN BACKING INTO A VERY CLOSE GARAGE SPACE, MAKING HIM HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND SMASH INTO THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DODGE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IT IS WITH THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT ONLY THE OPERATORS OF 2004 AND 2005 RAM 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS???????? NOT 1500 OR ANY OTHER TRUCKS. IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT ONLY OWNERS OF 2004 & 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS ARE IDIOTS. *NM
