NHTSA Complaint #11318701 — 2012 DODGE RAM 1500

I WAS DRIVING AT 70MPH AND MY TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO 4TH MANUAL GEAR FROM AUTOMATIC. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A SLOPE, THE TRUCK ROLLED BACK AND REVVED UP VERY HIGH, AND ROLLED BACKWARDS, ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO AUTOMATIC DRIVE. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT MY TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 10MIN.S. I RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE, ONLY THE 4TH MANUAL GEAR WOULD DISPLAY WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE. AFTER FURTHER INTERNET RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THE MODE THAT IT WAS IN WAS CALLED "LIMP MODE". AFTER DURING FURTHER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MY BRAND OF TRUCK. I THINK THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER.
