Consumer Description

I LIVE IN NORTHERN NEW YORK. ON THE MORNING OF 10/18/2016, MY 11Y/O DAUGHTER BUCKLED HER 7Y/O SISTER IN THE BACK PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR 2016 DODGE DURANGO. OUR 11 Y/O THEN ENTER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND SHUT THE DOOR. THE DURANGO THEN POPPED OUT OF PARK AND ROLLED DOWN OUR STEEP DRIVEWAY WITH OUR TWO DAUGHTERS INSIDE. MY 11 Y/O HAD ENOUGH SENSE TO JUMP TO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HIT THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING AND THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT PARTIALLY OVER A 25' EMBANKMENT, AS MY WIFE WAS WALKING OUT DOOR TO GET IN THE CAR. MY KIDS WERE NOT INJURED AND I CREDIT MY DAUGHTER FOR THAT BY SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT AND IS BEHIND US 100% BUT DODGE HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL, AND MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I'M NOT SURE THEY UNDERSTAND HOW BAD THIS COULD HAVE BEEN. AGAIN THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE ROTARY SHIFTING KNOB. IT WAS NOT RUNNING, NO KEYS IN IT, AND NO ONE WAS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. MY KIDS ARE TERRIFIED TO EVER GET IN THAT CAR AGAIN AND MY WIFE AND I WOULDN'T ANYWAY BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. DODGE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO FAULT CODES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN OR WILL DO. I CALL DODGE EVERYDAY AND I FEEL THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS COMPLAINT.
