OWNED 2002CHRYSLER MINI VAN..HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE EXTRA HARD FOR IT TO ENGAGE IN PARK AND IF I'M IN A HURRY AND DIDN'T STEP ON THE BRAKE EXTRA HARD IT WON'T STAY IN PARK. IN FACT ALL OF THE LETTERS WILL HAVE SQUARES AROUND THEM INDICATING IT'S NOT IN PARK. A COUPLE OF TIMES IT STARTED MOVING ON IT'S OWN. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE BY AND CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CHRYSLER SERVICE PERSON THAT SERVICES MY CAR, AND I'M TOLD THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. WELL I DON'T THINK SO, IT'S VERY SCARY TO THINK YOUR CAR IS IN PARK AND IT ISN'T. I DON"T KNOW WHAT "OEM" MEANS SO I INDICATED NO. *AK

ENGINE REVS WHEN IT'S TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. *JB
