Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I parked my truck thursday night february 8, 2007. i placed the truck in park and removed the keys. when i returned to my truck early the next morning, i discovered that the truck was actually not in park, even thou the keys were out of it, and the shift indicator showed the vehicle being in park. had the truck been parked on an incline it could rolled away. i found the head of a small screw laying on my floorboard which have broken from the shifter. when i repaired the truck on sunday i discovered a very disturbing situation where the gear selector is attached to the transmission cable. the assembly is held together by a small 6mm screw, which the head i found on the floorboards. this happened at 99k mileage. *nm
