NHTSA complaint: 2004 DODGE RAM 3500 — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED A 2004.5 DODGE RAM 3500 DIESEL NEW LAST YEAR. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGE I WAS GETTING FUEL AND WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RUNNING. MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE. AS I WAS ABOUT TO FUEL THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO REVERSE AND STRUCK A VEHICLE THAT WAS BEHIND ME ALSO GETTING GAS. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES. ON 05/02/05, I EXITED MY TRUCK TO GIVE MAIL TO A LETTER CARRIER. I EXITED THE TRUCK AND WAITED FOR THE CARRIER TO COME OUT OF A STORE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO REVERSE. I STARTED TO RUN AFTER THE TRUCK AND FELL CAUSING MY SHOULDER TO BE DISLOCATED. THE TRUCK RAN INTO THE PARKED MAIL TRUCK THAT WAS BEHIND ME. I ALSO INJURED MY OTHER ARM (LEFT), MY TWO KNEES, AND MY FORHEAD.
