My truck 2000 CC 4.7 has done this and it has resulted in some near fender
benders.
I was parked on a hill and lifted off the brake and on to the gas with the
shifter in R and the vehicle rolled forward. I just missed hitting the
parked car ahead. I even got out to see where I stopped and I was within
an inch. I've also rolled forward into my wall at home lightly scratching
the front bumper.
It's a seemingly minor problem but it could be dangerous in the wrong
situation. I've heard lots of cases of it. Mines done maybe 20 times in
the first year of ownership.

| i HAVE A 2000 4.7L V8 AND HAVE HAD A SERIOUS PROLBLEM WITH MINE . YOU CAN
PUT
| MINE IN REVERSE IT SAYS ITS IN REVERSE AND IT WONT GO ANYWHERE. i HAVE
FILED
| ARBITRTAION ONCE, DURING THE MEETING THE DM SAID HE WOULD REPLACE THE TCM
| FOLLOWED BY THE TRANSIMION IF THE TCM DOESNT FIX IT. AND I GOT A 6YEAR
100K
| MILE EXEDN WARRNTY. WELL THE REASON I FIRST FILED ARBITRTAION IS THAT I
| COMPLAINED OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY AT FIRST SAID THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO
| FIX IT UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO HOOK A DRB TO IT WHEN IT WAS DOING IT.
WELL
| THAT DAY CAME AND I HAD 2 TECHS LOOK AT IT. THATS WHEN THE EASTER EGG
HUNT
| STARTED. THEY RELACED THE SHIFT CABLE , I COMPLAINED THAT IT STILL WAS
NOT
| FIXED, THEY REPLACE THE SOLENDOID PACK WHEN I COMPLAINED AGAIN THEY SAID
| DUPILCATE IT AGAIN, WELL I FILED AND THEY OUTCOME I ALREADY SPOKE OF.
MAKE I
| LONG STORY SHORT, THEY PUT THE TCM IN IT DIDNT FIX IT, I COMPLAINED
WANTING
| MY NEW TRANNY, THEY SAID DUPILCATE IT AGAIN, NOT FOLLOWING WHAT WAS
AGREED
| UPON DURING THE 1ST ARBIT. WELL I DID AND AGAIN RECORDED AND NOW ON
MARCH 5
| I MEET AGAIN FOR ARBITRATION. THIS WAS THE SHORTENED VERSION, IF YOU HAVE
A
| 4,7 AUTO AND HAVE THE REVERSE SOMETIMES NOT WORK EMAIL ME BEFORE 3/5/01
SO I
| CAN PRESENT THIS AT ARBITRATION AND START A POSSIBLE BUYBACK, SINCE THEY
CANT
| FIX IT.
