| Description of the problem | I was reversing from my drive way and then put my truck on drive to go up the drive way and then turned the gear shift counter clock wise to put it on park. Got out of my truck and walked in front of it and then ran inside the house to grab what i forgot. When i came back outside, my truck was moving foward by itself, the truck shifted by itself from park to drive. I ran to the passenger side and turned the knob back to park to stop the truck. The truck hit the corner of the house and damaged my house and truck. I was lucky enough to stop it before it went all the way inside the house. Thank god i'm here to tell the story and not under the tire. I tried reporting to chryseler and they said it was my fault for not putting the parking break on and i stepped out and left the truck runnning. I explained to them that its not a manual transmission and it wasnt parked downhill. Got nothing out of them! |
