Description of the problem	My dodge ram 1500 sport 4x4 went from park to drive without pressing the brake pedal while the ignition was off. My 3 year old pulled the shifter while standing in the front seat. The truck was parked on an incline and rolled down the hill and crashed into trees. Causing approx. $5000. 00 worth of damage. Have been told that it should not do this by the dodge dealership. Have heard several other complaints from other dodge owners about this same type of problem. Fortunately, there were no injuries this time. But,this type of problem could have very easily caused major injury or death to my child. *nm
