Consumer Description

A FEW WEEKS AGO WE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION "DROPPED" ON OUR 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW LAST YEAR SO WE WERE OBVIOUSLY SURPRISED THAT WE HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING THIS EXTENSIVE DONE SO SOON. MY HUSBAND WAS LEAVING A HOUSE AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO WALK BACK AND OPEN THE ELECTRONIC GATE. WHEN HE TURNED AROUND THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING BACK AT HIM. HE MANAGED TO GET HIS RIGHT LEG UP INTO THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO REACH UP AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. HIS LEG WAS PINNED BETWEEN THE DOOR JAMB AND THE ELECTRONIC FENCE. FINALLY THE FENCE GAVE WAY AND COLLAPSED. HE WAS LUCKY THAT IT DID THAT OR IT WOULD HAVE CUT HIS LEG OFF AT THE KNEE. HE WAS SHOCKED AT WHAT HAPPENED. 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. ALL I CAN THINK OF IS, "WHAT IF OUR 3 YR OLD HAD BEEN THERE - SHE WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW". I THINK IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WON'T RECALL THE VEHICLE. IT IS LIFE-THREATENING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED. *NM
