WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO THE PARK MY TRUCK SWITCHED ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO PARK. I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN WHILE THIS HAPPENED. THE TRUCK HAS A KNOB FOR THE SELECTION SHIFT. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK AND SCARED ALL OF TO DEATH NOT TO MENTION IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE KNOB STILL SAID THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, BUT THE DISPLAY SAID TO PUSH THE BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE. SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT THE TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD HIT SOMETHING WITH MY KNEE OR FOOT TO CAUSE IT. I NOW KNOW THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THAT KNOB. I WAS STILL MOVING WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, THEN THE TRUCK JUST JERKED TO A STOP. I FIRST HIT THE GAS, BUT THE ENGINE INCREASED RPM, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGED. I WILL NOT PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS TRUCK AGAIN. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 05, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 1230 HOURS I WALKED OUT TO MY RAM 1500 PICK UP TRUCK, WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND STARTED IT UP. I PULLED THE TRUCK FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY APPROXIMATELY A FULL TRUCK LENGTH, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND EXITED THE TRUCK, LEAVING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN. THE TRUCK WAS LEFT IDLING. I BEGAN TO WALK TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, WHERE A FRIEND WAS STANDING NEAR MY FLATBED TRAILER. THE PLAN WAS TO HOOK THE TRAILER UP TO THE TRUCK. AS I WAS WALKING TO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, I OBSERVED THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND BEGAN TO RUN BACK TO THE TRUCK. AS THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAUGHT THE TIRE OF THE VEHICLE PARKED NEXT TO IT. AS I JUMP BACK IN THE TRUCK I CHECK THE SHIFT INDICATOR AND OBSERVED IT TO BE IN PARK WHILE ROLLING. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS THEN PUSHED BACKWARDS AND INTO THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT FENDER. I THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP.

PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON TURNED THE KEY OF TURNED THE KEY BACK ON AND LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS IN PARK AND P WAS LIT UP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS ROLLED FORWARD WHILE IN PARK. LAST TIME IT TOOK MY GARAGE DOOR OUT. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 10936408 ABOUT THAT INCIDENT BUT WANTED TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT FOR THIS INCIDENT ALSO. THIS IS GETTING TO BE QUITE DANGEROUS. I DO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN I PARK NOW. HARD HABIT TO GET INTO WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC BUT I AM GETTING IN THE HABIT. I AM JUST HAPPY THAT IT WAS AFTER SCHOOL HOURS AND NO LITTLE KIDS WALKED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD REAL BAD.. THIS HAPPENED IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL PARKING LOT TRUCK WAS AT A FULL STOP AND SHIFTER WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO PARK BUT D LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ONCE THE TRUCK DROVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN UNTIL KEY WAS SHUT OFF AND WHAT APPEARS TO ME IT RESET THE COMPUTER SO IT WENT TO PARK WHEN KEY WAS TURNED ON AGAIN.
