NHTSA Complaint #10262858 — 2003 DODGE RAM 1500

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO THE COMPLAINT I FILED DUE THE INCIDENT WITH MY STEPFATHER. THAT COMPLAINT IS #10246879 WHEREIN I REPORTED A FAILURE IN THE IGNITION/PARKING SYSTEM THAT CAUSED HIS 2003 THIS IS AN UPDATE TO COMPLAINT ODI 10246879 WHEREIN I REPORTED THE FAILURE OF THE IGNITION / PARKING SYSTEM OF HIS 2003 DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK. THE FAILURE CAUSED HIS TRUCK TO ROLL OVER HIM, CATCHING HIM UP UNDER THE TRUCK AND DRAGGING HIM OVER A CURB WHERE IT JUMPED THE NEIGHBORS FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. AT FIRST IT WAS THOUGHT HE WOULD SURVIVE HIS INJURIES BUT HE DIED FROM COMPLICATIONS OF HIS INJURIES AFTER A LONG AND PAINFUL HOSPITALIZATION. I AM UPDATING THAT COMPLAINT TO ADVISE OF HIS DEATH. THIS APPEARS TO BE A NOT SO UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I NOTE THAT THE 2002 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR
