1997 Intrepid has slipped out of park and rolled on to the street several times. Using the park brakes now.
Does anyone know if there is a TSB or recall on this from DC?

Where can I go to search TSBs for this ?

Don't know of a TSB, but what happens is that the park "sprag" is worn out and can no longer hold the weight of the car.

Do you park on an incline/decline?

The parking brake should always be used in lieu of just putting the car in park to hold the car in place...especially on a steep grade.

Thanks vanman....I will get it into the shop to confirm that it is indeed the parking sprag. I am hoping that since it seems to be shifting OK, it will be a relatively inexpensive repair......thanks again for your reply
