This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I put my truck into park to run in and pick up my dry-cleaning ( was inside maybe 60 seconds) came out to find my truck gone and after looking I find it across the parking lot. It had jumped the curb went through their landscaping and hit a tree damaging the rear bumper, tailgate, bed side and dually fender. After going back in the cleaners the lady that works there informed me that her new Dodge truck has done that to her before. This is the 3rd time this truck has done this to me and it is not a year old. The first time I figured it was my fault but I started paying closer attention, the 2nd time it was in park with the "P" lit up and got about 2 stepes from the truck when it started going backwards but caught it before anything happened and now this. I have contacted Dodge and they are supposed to send someone out to look at my truck"?" we'll see!!!
Placed vehicle in park. Got out and walked 50 feet ahead of vehicle. Turned and saw vehicle moving in reverse. Ran to vehicle, which had crossed a road, put on emergency break and stopped.
Dodge Ram 3500 with cummins diesel. I got out of the truck on an absolutely flat parking lot, believing it to be in park. Walked 30-40 feet and then vehicle began moving in reverse gear at idle and hit a car. Dodge personnel have told me that due to the high torque, it is physically impossible to exit the vehicle. As soon as the foot is removed from the break, if it is in gear it will move at a pace faster than a person can exit.
