2 Automatic Transmission Column Shift problem

Failure Date: 05/30/2005

On two occasions, I have had my truck in park and the keys removed and the truck rolled. It was not fully in park. I was on a slight incline both times, once facing forward and once backed in. I took it to the dealer after the first time and they adjusted the shifter. I now have to take it back in since it did it again.
