I was backing out of my garage on my way to a job interview, when I realized I forgot something . I drove back in the garage, put the shifter in park and I stepped out of the truck. No sooner had I gotten around the truck door when the truck just started backing up by itself. I attempted to jump back in to stop it because I did not want the truck to hit somebody . But the momentum was to quick and the door slammed against me hitting the left side of my body,both my knees were knocked together,causing bruising and some swelling. I also had a small cut on my right index finger when the door hit me,it pushed my arm back and my finger hit my front teeth. I have found out that there is a recall for this very same problem(park-to-reverse). This is the first time since I've had the vehicle in my possession that this has happened. I called a dodge dealership in b.r. And they told me this VIN number was not included in the recall. The truck was bought used so I do not know if the previous owner had a problem with the park-to-reverse. Since the accident, I have not been able to work and have been suffering with a lot of back, leg, and knee pain.

2 issues-the power train-I don't think it was ever fixed as my gearshift lever indicator is not in the gear it indicates-can this still be fixed under the recall-2nd problem-I can be driving down the road and the truck just shuts itself off without warning-sometimes it will restart after sitting a few minutes but yesterday I had to have it towed with my 74 yr. Old mother-I have been on the freeway and had the shutdown occur-I believe this is a safety concern-I am not the first owner but the guy I got it from told me about this issue after I had bought it -I thought the fuel filter may be plugged and had a complete tune-up-still the problem continues-is there any other complaints on this vehicle-thanks barb
