And the child was still asleep. The vehicle was on level ground and not moving. The child had not knocked the truck out of gear. Concerned that other persons may be in the area I chased the vehicle down on a dead run. I would like to know if Dodge has reported this problem.
The contact drove into the driveway, placed the vehicle in park, walked to the back of the vehicle, and the gear moved on its own into into reverse and hit another vehicle. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. And as always, if you need assistance in determining the correct parts for you, give us a call or send an e-mail to and we would be happy to help. It was a miracle no one was hit as we live in a very active 55 plus community and live on one of the busiest streets in the park. Approximately three minutes after the contact exited the vehicle, the gear shifted into reverse. Well a 100 yards later the whole left side of the truck was damaged as it ran into a park model trailer and damaged the right side of the park model home if looking from front.
He was dissatisfied with the remedy. It was an annoyance and it did not result in a safer vehicle. A police report was taken gave no indication of the cause. After seeing all the similar complaints on a website - and one death - I wanted to make my complaint also so that maybe Dodge will do something about it before more people get hurt. The consumer left the truck with his grand child in the back asleep. The contact drove into the driveway, placed the vehicle in park, walked to the back of the vehicle ,and the gear moved on its own into into reverse and hit another vehicle.

The current mileage was 92,000 and failure mileage was 80,156. There were no injuries and the police were not alerted. It seems that there is a better solution for the problem than sounding the horn. A maintenance man of the park jumped in and pushed the brake down with his hand it was still in park.
When he pulled up to the gate of his home he put the vehicle in reverse with the emergency brake on, which gave him light at night, but it startled his cattle. While I turned the key off. Shannon suffered severe and fatal injuries. Unable to move I laid in the road and watched the front wheel roll passes my head. This typically occurred when mirror or window views were blocked, or there was an object behind that could not be seen. After the truck hit the sign it stopped but was still running.
Also the horn goes off when backing the truck with the door open. The vehicle had an out of park alarm added to the vehicle and whenever starting the vehicle, the alarm went off. I ran hollering to keep someone from getting hit. The dealer stated that the only resolution was a small computer-like device that sounded when the vehicle shifted out of park. I feel I have a lemon. I had it in the dealership and they said nothing about it. The necessary parts that needed to be replaced to fix this were a governor compression solenoid and pressure switch.

The dealership informed the contact that there have been previous complaints about the remedy for this recall and further problems with the horn sounding unexpectedly after the recall remedy was performed.

On numerous occasions I needed to back up by having the driver's side door open to use the ground as a reference. The consumer had refectories of the accident. The current mileage was 53,000. The recall was for a computer flash to look for several things to occur simultaneously; 1 driver's side door opened, transmission was in reverse, and foot was off of brake.
