Truck rolling when in park

One bit of advice when doing this, is don't leave the vehicle parked for an extended period. My father warped the rotors in his 2001 F250 diesel two years back by parking it with the emergency brake and then leaving it to sit for 2-3 months. Now he uses wheel chocks when he knows it will not be used again for a long time.
This, people, is why you must take everything you read on the Internet with a grain of salt.

I have never had a problem parking my truck in my driver way in 2 years I have had it until now. The truck did not skid/slide it was rolling I had to jump in the truck and push on the brake peddle. But then again the park gear is intended to lock the drive shaft and or lock the out put from the transmission and I guess it can fail on any incline.

Thanks Tothemax for the great video.
How would you check if the components of the parking paw are working correctly? I am curious on how ford tec would test mine. The rolling doesn't seem to always happen every time I put it in park.

I am guessing here but I would imagine they would check the linkage first and make sure it is tight and working properly. Next they would open up the trans like in the video and inspect.
Can you push your truck when its in park? Have you ever tried that?

Have a feeling they probably won't find nothing. Usually when u take something in the dealers they can't replicate it.

My 2013 F150 Ecoboost FX4 came out of park on its own while I was at work on a semi flat surface which lead to over a bank and into a ditch. $2,300.00 in damage. $8XX.00 later my truck was all fixed (cosmetically). My neighbor witnessed the whole thing happen. He was out planting flowers and said he heard a loud grinding noise coming from my house and he noticed my truck was starting to slowly move forward. He then noticed nobody was in it and shortly after it crashed into the ditch. 3 months later or so I still have no idea what happened or why and had to toss $800 out the window. Now I want to sell the truck but I don't feel right selling it to someone knowing you have to set the e-brake every time you park it. The dealership in my area wants to charge me to look into it. I said no more after the $200 Transmission service they did and charged me. Said they cant find anything wrong with it without tearing the transmission apart and that's like a $800.00 job or something like that. Maybe the word gets out now and there will be a recall or something. We can only hope.

I haven't looked all that closely at my dad's '04 F-350 PSD, but my '13 F-150 is the first Ford I've owned with 4-wheel discs that had drum parking brakes. The rest used a spring-loaded mechanical lever on the rear calipers to actuate them.
