Consumer Description

MAY 2016, AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK, I PARKED MY RAM IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD (SLIGHT DECLINE) AFTER I PUT INTO PARK. IT WENT ABOUT 5 FEET BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REACH IN AND PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS WAS NOT EASY, AS I AM DISABLED FROM A BRAIN TUMOR SURGERY AT MSKCC- CAUSING BALANCE, BACK, AND HIP NERVE ISSUES AND USE A CANE. I THOUGHT IT WAS USER ERROR. FAST FORWARD TO OCTOBER 2017. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED 30 FEET IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, IN FRONT OF A UTILITY PEDESTAL 10 FEET AWAY. I WENT INSIDE. LATER THAT DAY, I CAME OUT AND MY TRUCK HAD ROLLED, BY ITSELF, INTO THE PEDESTAL- DENTING THE BUMPER IN. I THOUGHT, MY GOODNESS, WHAT IF MY 2 KIDS WERE OUTSIDE PLAYING? I CALLED MOPAR DIRECTLY RIGHT AWAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. I PAID TO HAVE THE BUMPER PULLED OUT, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER HAS A SMALL SPOT OF RUST WHERE IT CRUNCHED. I KNOW IT WILL SPREAD FROM THERE. NOW, I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM MOPAR SAYING THAT THE TRUCK CAN SLIP OUT OF PARK ON ITS OWN- RECALL T79. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THE TRUCK. I LOVE THE RAM, BUT PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 7 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THIS. I WILL BE SATISFIED IF MY TRUCK IS BOUGHT BACK AND I BUY A DIFFERENT ONE- AND IF NOT, I AM SENDING THIS COMPLAINT AND WILL BE HAVING MY ATTORNEY COMMENCE A LAWSUIT. THIS CAN BE A FATAL ISSUE AND IF MY FAMILY GETS INJURED, IT WILL BE A WRONGFUL INJURY OR WORSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.
