Consumer Description

I AM SENDING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING THE GEAR SELECTOR KNOB THAT I BELIEVE POSES A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE 5 OR 6 TIMES THAT I HAVE EXITED MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS RUNNING AND STILL IN GEAR. ON A FEW OCCASIONS I THOUGHT THAT I TURNED THE GEAR SELECTOR KNOB TO PARK WHEN I ACTUALLY TURNED IT TO REVERSE. I OPENED THE DOOR AND BEGAN TO EXIT MY TRUCK WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I HAVE A 2010 RAM WITH A NORMAL SHIFT SELECTOR LEVER AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO GET USED TO THE KNOB STYLE, BUT AFTER 20 MONTHS, I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHERS WITH THIS STYLE KNOB AND THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY EITHER GETTING THE MAIL OR TO RUN INTO THE GARAGE TO GET SOMETHING. THANK YOU *TR
