I THEN CONTINUED TO THE DRIVE TO THE RESTAURANT WHERE I PULLED INTO A LINE TO THE DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW AS I MOVED THROUGH THE LINE I WOULD APPLY MY BRAKE TO STOP AND AS CARS PULLED FORWARD I JUST LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO SLOWLY MOVE FORWARD THEN PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN TO STOP. I DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES THEN SUDDENLY WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE MY TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I COULD STOP IT.

UPON RE-ENTERING THE VEHICLE., THE DRIVER NOTED THAT THE KNOB GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN "REVERSE".

MY TRUCK HAS A ROTARY SWITCH USED TO SWITCH BETWEEN PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE. MY VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND I WAS IN DRIVE. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE SWITCH THREE PLACES TO THE LEFT. THIS PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LEFT THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN. I LEANED OVER TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I RAN AFTER THE TRUCK BUT COULD NOT CATCH IT AND IT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER TRUCK THAT I OWN. MY TRUCK CAME TO A STOP AND WHEN I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE IT WAS IN REVERSE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY TRUCK SUFFERED MODERATE DAMAGE. THIS ALL OCCURRED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY SO THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED.

2014 RAN 1500 TRADESMAN BLACKED OUT EDITION. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IN PARK TO CHECK OTHER CONCERNS WHEN RUNNING 40MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE MISFIRE, AFTER STEPPING OUT OF TRUCK IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND PUSHED ME DOWN. AFTER GETTING BACK UP THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND RAN OVER MY ANKLE AND FOOT. BEFORE CRASHING INTO A CONCRETE WALL. SINCE THEN I HAVE USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN PARKING AND THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY INSURANCE. 8,000 DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND MY RIGHT FOOT IS STILL HEALING AFTER 2 MONTHS. DASH SHOWED TRUCK IN PARK AND LEVER WAS COMPLETELY UP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED, AND I GOT LUCKY THE TRUCK DIDN'T RUN OVER MY CHEST OR HEAD. THE FIRST TIME THE TRUCK DIDN'T STAY IN PARK WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO, I PLACED TRUCK IN PARK AND BEGAN TO GET OUT WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STILL ROLLING FORWARD. I HAD TO PUSH ON BRAKES AND REMOVE FROM PARK AND PUT BACK INTO PARK FOR IT TO WORK. INTERMITTENT PARK POSITION IS A VERY BAD THING TO BE INTERMITTENT.

STARTING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I STOPPED AND THOUGHT I HAD SHIFTED THE ROTARY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION KNOB TO THE PARK POSITION TO GO INTO THE HOUSE AND RETRIEVE AN ITEM BEFORE CONTINUING. APPARENTLY, I DID NOT GET THE KNOB CORRECTLY IN TEH PARK POSITION, AS I STARTED EXITING THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR OPEN, THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN REVERSE AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD. I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, BUT NOT UNTIL THE OPENED TRUCK DOOR HAD COLLIDED WITH MY GARAGE WALL, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK DOOR AND THE GARAGE WALL. I FELT FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT PINNED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE GARAGE WALL BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN THE VEHICLE. THE KNOB SHIFT CONTROL IS NOT VERY INTUITIVE AND I BELIEVE CAN LEAD MORE FREQUENTLY TO DRIVER ERROR. IT WAS ALSO SURPRISING TO ME HOW MUCH ACCELERATION AND FORCE OCCURRED WITHOUT APPLYING ANY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL.

MY TRUCK WAS PLACED IN "PARK" MODE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO OPEN A GATE.

LUCKILY I WAS STANDING SLIGHTLY OFF TO THE SIDE AND WAS NOT PINNED BETWEEN THE GATE AND TRUCK. I WAS BUMPED BY THE FRONT CORNER OF THE VEHICLE BUT SUSTAINED NO INJURY. VERY SCARY SITUATION GIVEN THE REMOTENESS OF MY HOME LOCATION.

OUR '14 RAM 1500 WAS BOUGHT NEW ON 6/22/15. ON 8/9/15 OUR NEW 2014 DODGE RAM WAS PARKED ON A INCLINE IN A FRIENDS DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE AND SON GOT IN THE TRUCK, STARTED IT AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE TO LEAVE. AFTER MOVING ONLY A FEW FEET MY WIFE NOTICED THE HOSTESS COMING DOWN THE DRIVE TO SAY GOODBYE. SHE PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN AND WALKED TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WHILE GIVING THE HOSTESS A HUG, HOSTESS EXCLAIMED YOUR TRUCK IS ROLLING AWAY. MY WIFE TRIED TO RUN BACK AND AROUND THE DOOR TO GET IN THE VEHICLE. BEFORE SHE COULD, THE OPEN DOOR TOOK DOWN TWO MAILBOXES AND 4X4 TIMBER POSTS THEY WERE MOUNTED ON AND OPENED THE DOOR BEYOND THE SPRING LIMIT PUSHING INTO THE FRONT FENDER AND POPPING OUT THE FRONT HEAD LIGHT. THE TRUCK ROLLED ACROSS THE STREET INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD HITTING A POWER POLL WHERE IT CAME TO STOP. THE IMPACT TO THE POLL WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO PULL DOWN POWER LINES. UPON REACHING THE VEHICLE A MALE GUEST NOTED THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK. MY 9 YEAR OLD WAS STILL STRAPPED INTO HIS SEAT BELT AND SIGNIFICANTLY SHAKEN UP THOUGH NOT INJURED. THE POLICE AND UTILITY COMPANY ARRIVED. THE OFFICER WROTE HIS REPORT UP AS VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SAID THE VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN IN ITS CONDITION. HE PULLED BACK THE DOOR TO AS CLOSE TO CLOSED AS POSSIBLE AND TIED CLOSED. THE REAR BUMPER AND TAILGATE ARE TRASHED. INSURANCE ADJUSTER HAS GIVEN PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF $8,900. THE POWER COMPANY HAS NOT CONTACTED US YET ABOUT THEIR SERVICE CALL. I GUESS VERY FORTUNATE THAT MY WIFE DID NOT MAKE IT AROUND THE DOOR AS SHE COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND TWO MAILBOXES. ALSO THANKFUL THE THE TRUCK WENT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE STREET RATHER THAN TURNING AND GOING DOWN A LONG HILL. HAVE CONTACTED RAM AND WAS PROMISED AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITHIN 3 DAYS. 4TH DAY AND STILL NO CONTACT!

AFTER PULLING INTO MY DRIVE WAY WITH MY ADULT SON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT I WAS ROLLING UP TO THE GARAGE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWING DOWN THE TRUCK. I STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETELY, BY PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER, ABOUT 5 FEET FROM THE HOUSE. I REACHED DOWN TO ROTATE THE SHIFT DIAL TO PARK, "P". AFTER TURNING TO "P" THE TRUCK ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD, AFTER INITIALLY BEING STARTLED I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE SHIFT DIAL WAS AT "P" AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. THE TRUCK THEN STRUCK THE CORNER OF THE HOUSE WHILE I WAS ALMOST STANDING UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TRYING TO GET IT TO STOP. I TURNED THE SHIFT DIAL TO REVERSE AND BACK TO PARK AND THE TRUCK STOPPED REVVING AND MOVING. THEN I BACKED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. BEING A RETIRED POLICE DETECTIVE THE FIRST THING I DID WAS TO CHECK TO SEE IF THE FACTORY FLOOR MAT HAD DISLODGED AND JAMMED INTO THE PEDALS BUT IT WAS PROPERLY HOOKED IN PLACE. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCKS BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN I PICKED THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND UNDER THE DASH WHEN I ROTATED THE SHIFT DIAL FROM "R" TO "P" THAT I DO NOT RECALL HEARING BEFORE. NO CLICKING IS HEARD WHEN CHANGING BETWEEN ANY OTHER GEARS.

THE NEW RAM TRUCKS USE A DIAL LIKE SHIFTER THAT CHRYSLER IS CALLING THE "ROTARY SHIFTER" IN WHICH THE DRIVER USES TO SELECT THE TRANSMISSION POSITION FROM PARK OR DRIVE. THE SYSTEM IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES IN CONFUSING DRIVERS THINKING THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, VAN SPEED CONTROL, OR EVEN THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK WHEN ACTUALLY IN DRIVE. WITH OUR INCIDENT THE DRIVER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK HOWEVER IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE DRIVER STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD CAUSING A COLLISION TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WITHIN OUR GARAGE LODGING THE DRIVERS HEAD IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE DOOR AND LEG IN THE LOWER CAUSING INJURY NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE TO EACH VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE DAMAGE COMBINED TO FOR BOTH VEHICLES IS WELL OVER $2,000 FOR A MINOR COLLISION AND ALSO TWO SEPARATE COLLISION CLAIMS ON OUR AUTO POLICY. CHRYSLER IS CALLING IT A DIVER ERROR AFTER REPORTING IT TO THEM UNDER CLAIM #24280455. WE FEEL AND AFTER TALKING WITH OTHERS IN THE PUBLIC IN JUST THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHERS IN OUR AREA ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE HOWEVER NO ONE WAS INJURED OR IN A COLLISION FROM OTHERS THAT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THUS FAR. *TR
