Consumer Description

ME AND MY WIFE BOUGHT A NEW 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 RAM HEMI SPORT TRUCK WE HAVE HAD THIS NEW TRUCK A DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI SPORT. FOR ABOUT FIVE WEEKS NOW. AND WAS AT WALMART, ON MONDAY THE 25TH OF NOV. IN MCMINNVILLE WE HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND STARTED THE TRUCK. AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK I TURN THE SHIFTER KNOB DIAL ON THE DASH INTO REVERSE. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE BACKUP CAMERA DIDN'T COME ON . THE RADIO SCREEN STAYED ON. SO I WIGGLED THE DIAL AND PUT IT BACK INTO PARK. AND LET OFF THE BREAK THEN I NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN SHIFT DIAL KNOB SHOWED PARK. SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND PULLED BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. THEN WAITED FOR TEN MINUTES. BEFORE I RESTARTED THIS TRUCK. TURNED THE SHIFTER KNOB AGAIN INTO R FOR REVERSE. BACKUP CAMERA DID NOT COME ON AGAIN. BUT WAS ABLE TO START BACKING OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. AFTER BACKING OUT ABOUT 4 TO 5 FEET. THE CAMERA CAME ON AS I WAS TURNING THE DIAL FROM R TO N THEN TO D FOR DRIVE. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERS AFTER THANKSGIVING AND LET THEM FIGURE IT OUT. IF THEY CAN'T THEN THEY CAN GIVE ME MY TRUCK THAT I TRADED IN ON IT. OR I WILL HAVE MY ATTORNEY INVOLVED IN IT FROM THAT POINT ON. P.S. I AM GOING TO CONTACT THE DODGE/CHRYSLER FACTORY HEAD QUARTERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GET RUN OVER. THINKING THAT THE TRUCK IS IN PARK AND IS IN REVERSE. *TR
