Consumer Description

I placed my truck in park and got out to close the door to my hangar. I turned around and my truck was rolling forward. It rolled into a small two seat plane and pushed it into another plane causing significant damage. When I saw what was happening I ran to the truck but got to it a little too late. I went to put the truck into park, but it was already in park. This confused me a lot because this is not suppose to happen. This morning after I started my truck I tested the gear shifter and to my surprise I am able to shift the truck out of park and all the way into drive for about 1 second or more after removing my foot from the brake. You should not be able to shift a vehicle out of park when your foot is not on the brake. After this incident I have gone online and have ready about large recalls for similar issues with RAM trucks and vans. I even seen some issues posted about my same year truck. Ram had a recall that ended with year model 2018 vehicles for this, but I dont think the issue was resolved completely, or there is a different issue causing this that needs to be investigated. I took a couple videos to prove that my truck shifts out of park without the brake being depressed.
