NHTSA Complaint #11021429 — 2013 RAM 1500

I WAS A PASSANGER IN THE TRUCK DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE TURNED RIGHT .. THE TRUCK SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR .. I HEARD THE TRUCK REV UP CAUSE THE DRIVER HAD HIS FOOT ON THE GAS AS NOTHING HAD HAPPENED .. BOTH HIS HANDS WERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL SO AT NO TIME DID HE TURN THE DIAL SHIFTING GEARS .. THE TRANSMISSION DID THAT MYSTERIOUSLY ON ITS OWN .. WHEN IT DID HAPPEN I LOOKED AT THE SHIFTER INDICATOR LIGHT AND IT SAID IT WAS IN PARK .: WE WERE DOING ABOUT 15 MILES A HOUR SO NO WAY WAS IT IN PARK ! AT THAT POINT THE DRIVER TUNED THE DIAL SHIFTER BACK TO DRIVE AND IT WENT BACK INTO GEAR .. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES ON IT .. IT'D STILL BRAND NEW .. THE DRIVER TOLD ME IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE AND HE WORRIED HE WILL BE ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 55 MPH WHEN IT DOES CAUSING A ACCIDENT . THIS IS PROBABLY SOME SORT OF COMPUTER PROBLEM SINCE THESE NEW TRUCKS HAVE TRANSMISSIIONS THAT ARE RUN BY COMPUTER AND NOT THE MANUAL SHIFTER CABLE LIKE THE OLD DAYS .. OF COURSE THE DEALER DENIED ANYTHING HAS HAOPEND AND BLAMED THE DRIVER .. AS IN MOST CAR MANUFACTURER RECALLS,,, IT TAKES SEVERAL PEOPLE TO DIE FROM ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM . THIS DODGE RAM TRUCK SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR IS A PROBLEM AS YOU CAN LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND SEE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN.
