Dodge pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in park may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (btsi) pin to stick in the open position.
The short version
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) reported a problem with the lever and linkage column shift. Here is what owners need to know.
Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge.
