Made a right hand turn onto residential street and van immediately parked itself mid turn which would have resulted in accident had someone been behind me. Vehicle was able to restart and reach destination but now P1B14 code is thrown. This is unacceptable for a car to shift into park while in motion. Code is related to known earlier issue with van that was supposedly repaired. 2 weeks ago while inching into a parking spot the van seemed to have lost power for a split second but resumed as I finished parking. I feel very unsafe in vehicle.
WENT TO DRIVE MY 2016 DURANGO THIS MORNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND LETTING IT WARM UP, IT WENT INTO REVERSE. TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TO READ THE CODE (P1B14) AND FOR THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PARK- REVERSE DIAL. COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IT WAS PUT INTO PARK AND THE CAR DROVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN. I GUESS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET INJURED BEFORE CHRYSLER GETS IT TOGETHER.
Transmission failure, vehicle will not start and will not shift into reverse, leaving driver stranded and stuck in vulnerable parked position. Check engine light comes on with P1B14-00 code - "Park by wire unintended park position". Engine light did not come on until after issue happened. Dealership diagnosed and confirmed issue and engine warning light code P1B14-00. They re-flashed vehicle ECU due to recall and that did not resolve issue. They are suggesting completely new transmission.
…A scan later showed that code P1B14 was stored. I called multiple Chrysler dealerships and each told me that they could not diagnose the problem unless it was actively acting up. The car has not malfunctioned since the incident four days ago. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

What should I do if my car shows P1B14?
Write down when the code appeared and what the car did (warning lights, loss of power, noises, speed, weather). Check your VIN for open recalls at nhtsa.gov/recalls, ask a dealer or independent workshop to read the stored freeze-frame data before anyone clears the code, and keep the repair order. If the car loses power in traffic, stop driving it. CarHooq does not diagnose: these are owner reports and official recall notices, not repair advice.
