Consumer Description

2000 DODGE DAKOTA QUADCAB - I WAS GOING FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND PUT IT IN "PARK", ENGINE STILL RUNNING. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS IT ENGAGED ITSELF IN REVERSE. IT SMASHED THROUGH A GATE AND I GOT INJURED WHEN I GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE GATE AND THE LEFT FRONT FENDER OF THE TRUCK. WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED I GOT IN AND STILL FOUND IT INDICATING IN "PARK". THE DRIVEWAY WAS LEVEL. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CONDITION WITH THE GEAR SHIFT JUST SLIGHTLY OUT OF "PARK", PARTICULARLY WITH A COLD ENGINE.
