TRUCK WAS IN PARK WAS OUT OF TRUCK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. TRUCK STARTING MOVING HIT END OF BRIDGE AND CAUSED APPROX. $2,500.00 DAMAGE TO TRUCK AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. WAS LOOKING AT BRIDGE AT JOB SITE AND HAD WALKED BEHIND TRUCK TALKING TO JOB SUPERVISOR AND I\ THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS MOVING. LUCKY NOBODY WAS IN FRONT, COULD HAVE HURT SOMEBODY!! THERE WAS 2 WITNESS TO THIS BESIDE ME. RAM HAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS. I WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO APPLY PARKING BRAKE EVER TIME I EXIT PICKUP,THIS IS A PROBLEM AND THEY KNOW IT WHY SHOULD I APPLY BRAKE WHEN I PARK WHAT IS PARK FOR. THEY DIDN'T HAVR THERE NEW PICKUPS ON LOT PARKING BRAKES APPLY?

I TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY DID AN INSPECTION ON THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PINION NUT LOOSE AND LEAKING OIL. THEY SAID IT WAS SAFETY RECALL P77 AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED UP P77 RECALL AND IT DID NOT INCLUDE 2015 TRUCKS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MAN OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED AWAY IN DRIVE. RAN AFTER IT FOR 2 BLOCKS UNTIL IT JUMPED A CURB AND HALTED. NO INJURIES BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE SHAFT WEARING PREMATURELY, WHERE THE OUTER AXLE BEARING ROLLS ON THE SHAFT, THE NORMAL, INTACT BEARING IS WEARING A DEEP GROOVE INTO THE SHAFT. APPEARS THAT THE SHAFT IS ABNORMALLY SOFT OR ABNORMAL STEEL MAKEUP. AXLE HAS HAD NORMAL MAINTINANCE, HAS NOT BEEN OVERLOADED, HAS HAD ADEQUATE OIL LEVEL IN AXLE HOUSING ITS WHOLE LIFE, AND THE DRIVER SIDE SHAFT IS NOT WEARING ABNORMALLY

PARKED TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY. DRIVEWAY HAS SLIGHT INCLINE. PUT TRUCK INTO PARK AND WENT INSIDE HOUSE. NEIGHBOR CAME OVER TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. LIGHT SNOW ON DRIVE. LOOKED AT TRACKS CONFIRMED VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY NOT SLIDE. PULLED TRUCK BACK UP DRIVEWAY AND PUT TRUCK IN PARK. WHILE STILL IN VEHICLE TRUCK AGAIN ROLLED AWAY. CONFIRMED THIS BY LOOKING OUT DOOR AND SEEING TIRED ROLLING. PUT IN AND OUT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRUCK STOPPED ROLLING.

RAM 1500 BIG HORN WAS STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY HOME GARAGE, IDLING IN PARK. I DISMOUNTED TO CLOSE BOTH OUTSIDE MIRRORS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF TO DRIVE. IT PROCEEDED INTO THE GARAGE AND HOUSE WALL CAUSING EXTENSIVE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SEE NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE16-014 FOR SIMILAR ACCIDENTS.

I PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK ON THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL WITH ENGINE RUNNING WALKED AWAY ABOUT 20 YARDS WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED ROLLING I TRIED TO RUN AFTER IT BUT ONLY GOT MYSELF HURT AND THE TRUCK TOOK OUT A MAILBOX AND FENCE.THESE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTERS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED. IM NOW AFRAID OF IT ITS NOT TO BE TRUSTED I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON.I WAS LUCKY WHEN IT ROLLED ACROSS THE ROAD IT DID NOT HIT ANOTHER CAR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2015 RAM 1500 BIG HORN CREW CAB WITH 8 SPEED (8HP70) TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK INTERMITENTLY ISSUES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GOES AWAY A FEW TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND OR WILL STAY OFF. OBDII CODE P1D8C IS STORED CURRENTLY IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE CODE THAT SAYS (PARKING PRAWL SELONOID IN OPEN POSITION) THIS IS CLOSE IF NOT THE SAME ISSUE IN 8HP70 TRANSMISSION IN OTHER VEHICLES OF OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ONE DAY I WOULDN'T KNOW IF THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY IN PARK MECHANICALLY OR NOT. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR MY CURRENT YEAR MODEL TRUCK BUT BRINGING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS THERE ARE SAME OR SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN OTHER MODELS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WHEN IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN...

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK RUNNING AND UNOCCUPIED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MINUTES WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY BACKWARDS STRIKING A LARGE TREE.

VEHICLE IS A 2015 RAM 1500 TRUCK WITH 8-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS AND "DIAL-A-GEAR" ELECTRONIC GEAR SELECTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A GAS STATION AND PULLED UP NEXT TO A GAS PUMP. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE, AND REALIZED THAT THEY NEEDED TO PULL FORWARD ABOUT 2 MORE FEET TO BETTER ALIGN THE TRUCK WITH THE GAS PUMP. THE DRIVER GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK, TURNED THE KNOB TO "DRIVE," AND PULLED FORWARD. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED, THE DRIVER TURNED THE KNOB TO "PARK" AND EXITED THE TRUCK. AS THE DRIVER STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK IT BEGAN TO MOVE BACKWARDS, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO IMPACT THE POLE PROTECTING THE PUMPS, AND OVER-EXTENDING THE DOOR AND HINGES BEYOND NORMAL OPERATION. THE DRIVER QUICKLY JUMPED BACK INTO THE TRUCK AND STOPPED IT'S MOVEMENT, AND THEN VERIFIED THAT THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHOWING "PARK." THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED, BUT THE INCIDENT RESULTED...

THIS TRUCK JERKS INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THIS TRANSMISSION DEFECT LUNGES THE TRUCK FORWARD IN A VERY ABRUPT AND SURPRISING MANNER. THE TRUCK IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SPECIFICALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

TOOK DELIVERY 10/20/15. LESS THAN ONE MONTH LATER ON 11/11/15, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE A PRETTY STRONG JERK UPON ACCELERATION AND/OR SLOWING DOWN MAKING IT FEEL LIKE YOU COULDN'T STOP COMPLETELY AND/OR THAT YOU WERE BEING REAR ENDED. IN FACT ON 4/8/16, IT JERKED ME UP ONTO A CONCRETE STOPPER AT TACO BELL, IN DADE CITY, FL. ONE YEAR LATER, UPON ACCELERATION A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE REAR END STARTED HAPPENING. SO ON 10/10/16 (ONE YEAR LATER), 25,000 MILES LATER, AND AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES IN/OUT OF THE SHOP, WHERE THE TECHS CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT OR SAID "THAT WAS THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WORKED AND THAT THEY HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE RAM TRUCK DRIVERS ABOUT THE SAME THING, INCLUDING EMPLOYEES THAT OWNED THEM" THEY SAID THE DRIVESHAFT SLIP STICK WAS CAUSING THE CLUNKING, SO THEY REPLACED THE DRIVESHAFT OR PROPELLER SHAFT. THE CLUNKING AND JERKING STOPPED....

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD. THE TRANNY DOES IT SOMETIMES. IT COULD BE WARM OR COLD. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE ITS RACING BEFORE SHIFTING. DEALERSHIP SAYS I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A LIGHT COMES ON OR A MESSAGE. 3 TIMES I TOOK IT IN FOR THAT PROBLEM . NOW 2DAYS AGO ...AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK POPPED INTO PARK. I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NOW WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT???? NOW....NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I HATE TO GIVE THIS UP AND GO BACK TO FORD.

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND LEFT IN PARK. WENT IN REVERSE AND CRASHED INTO A COLUMN.

ON 6/12/17 I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE AND SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK.(ELECTRONIC ROTARY DIAL SHIFTER MOUNTED ON DASH) I EXITED THE TRUCK TO RETRIEVE AN ITEM IN THE GARAGE, LEAVING THE TRUCK RUNNING. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, WHO WAS INSIDE THE TRUCK, SCREAMED TO ALERT ME. I OBSERVED MY TRUCK IN MOTION MOVING FORWARD TOWARD MY GARAGE.(NOT COASTING AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL BUT RATHER IN DRIVE). I ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK INTO TRUCK TO APPLY BRAKE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE TRUCK IMPACTED THE EXTERIOR OF MY GARAGE BETWEEN THE DOORS WITH MY SON INSIDE THE TRUCK. HE WAS SEAT BELTED AND UNINJURED, PHYSICALLY. UPON ENTERING THE TRUCK I OBSERVED THE GEAR SELECTOR TO BE IN PARK. I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE BACKING UP APPROXIMATELY 15-20 FEET. I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND AGAIN EXITED THE TRUCK TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE. THE TRUCK AGAIN BEGAN...

I WAS BACKING MY TRUCK TO HOOK UP TO TRAILER I STOP TRUCK PUT IN PARK FROM REVERSELEFT MOTOR RUNNING GOT OUT STARTED WALKING TO BACK OF TRUCK WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED GOING FORWARD . I TRIED TO CATCH ITI GOT DOOR ALMOST OPEN WHEN I WAS CRUSHED BETWEEN MY TRUCK AN A PARKED FORD PICKUP I WENT TO HOSPITAL FOR CT SCAN LUCKY ONLY HIP CONTOSTION . DONE LOTS OF DAMAGE TO BOTH TRUCKS .

APRIL 14, 2017 MY HUSBAND WAS HEADING EAST ON I-20 IN THE TYLER, TEXAS AREA LOCATED IN SMITH COUNTY TEXAS.APPROACHING HIS TURN OFF AT HWY 14. WHEN EXITING ON THE RAMP HE NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. HE LOOKED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HE BEGAN LOSING POWER. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A LARGE PARKING AREA AWAY FROM OTHERS. HE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHED THE HOOD WHEN HE NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. HE BACKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND CALLED 911. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT A TOTAL LOSS. LAST FALL WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM $6500 WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT LITTLE OVER 30,000 MILES IT'S A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRSYLER AND THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO SEND INSPECTORS TO SEE IF...

WHILE AT HOME DEPOT I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND PLACED LUMBER IN THE BED. I PROCEEDED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR THE TRUCK WENT IN REVERSE KNOCKING ME TO THE GROUND CAUSING A LACERATION REQUIRING 8 STAPLES, CONCUSSION, LOWER BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN AND BRUISING. THE TRUCK CONTINUED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT HITTING A FORD RANGER CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE, CONTINUING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE GMC CM3500 CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE. MY LARAMIE SUFFERED MAJOR DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER, TAILGATE, AND REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL. WE ARE JUST LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHERS WALKING IN THE AREA AT THE TIME. MY 2015 LARAMIE HAS A ROTARY SHIFTER AND IT WAS IN PARKED POSITION AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ROTARY SHIFTER WHICH CASED THIS ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN.

KEEP GETTING "SERVICE GEAR SELECTOR" MESSAGES. DEALER CHECKED AND REPLACED SELECTOR AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I GET THE SAME PROBLEM AND WORSE. WHEN I SHIFTED TO REVERSE, THE "R" KEPT FLASHING AND A WARNING CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL I MOVED THE SELECTOR AGAIN. THE WARNING MESSAGES HAPPEN BOTH IN MOTION AND WHILE AT A STOP.
