1987 DODGE ARIES User Comment / Complaint

Mom handed the car over to me with 58,000 miles and said she always had a difficult time getting the car out of park especiallly on an incline. i began having problems as well and had the cable replaced in the spring of last year. the mechanic said this has been an on-going problem with dodges and suggested i apply the emergency brake before i put it into park. at $160. i thought the problem solved until it started again, this time stranding me in a parking lot several miles from home. the repair this time was done after the car was towed to a mechanic. upon receipt, the mechanic told me there is no guarantee on this as it has been a problem with dodge for years. the "repair " lasted one day. i am presently using the car and at my destination i apply the emergency brake, put the car in neutral, and turn off the engine. the keys remain in the column. i have to keep another set of keys on me to let myself into the car. not good. my mom purchased a 1999 dodge stratus and guess what? she has received several letters about this same problems in the new dodges. i would think they could get it right after 12 years. in the meantime, i wanted to give my daughter the car, but don't feel very confident or safe in passing the problem on the her.
