Consumer Description

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 WILL GO OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE ON ITS OWN AND I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK MY TRUCK WENT ON ITS OWN ONE DAY OVER 250 FEET AND DROVE INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD. THE TRUCK PARKING PAWL WAS NOT COMPLETELY IN AS I WAS TOLD AND THIS TRUCK HAS THE ABILITY TO DO IT ON ITS OWN I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH AS LONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS. COULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL SENT TO ME OR ANYTHING TOLD TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED THIS FROM THE CHRYSLER DODGE AT THE DEALER I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO AND POSSIBLE HAZARDS THAT ARE LINKED TO THIS COULD YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK WITH ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TT *TR
