| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2005 ram 2500 in july. I had a similar problem with mine jumping from park to reverse. No people were hurt, but it destroyed the entire side of my pickup. When it jumped from park to reverse the truck went across the street and hit another truck. This issue happened a few time before, but i was in the truck these times. I think dodge has a serious problem to take care of before someone gets killed. Now my truck has been in the body shop longer than i got to drive it. Hope dodge is going to take care of all of us. An independent investigator has looked at my truck and chrysler is supposed to contact me with the results of his investigation. *jb |
