Parked at eagle mountain lake boat dock to load my bass boat. Put the truck in park and got out to load my bass boat and the truck rolled into the lake,completely submerged in the water.. Have heard about the countless dodge rollaway complaints but this is unbelievable.. How many more vehicles owners have to experience this extensive insurance claims before a real investigation occurs these rotary shift knobs on the dash... They have an inherent problem.

My son's ram 1500 rolled forward while in park damaging our garage door. We just heard about this vehicle's transmission issues and it sounds like what happened in this situation.

You already have an open investigation of this problem. Pe 16-014. I have had two instances of the truck rolling away after placing the rotary shift knob into park. Engine was running. First time I shifted into park, released the foot brake and it rolled. I moved the shifter to neutral then back to park and it engaged normally. The second time I placed the vehicle park and opened the door to exit. It started rolling away but I stopped it with the foot brake. I looked at the rotary shift control and it had an indicator light for "park". However, when I moved it to neutral I did not hear the normal click sound. Placed it back in park and it worked normally. Both incidents occurred at home (driveway) and the vehicle was completely stopped with engine running when they occurred.

I had the same issue as the current recall for the cars and SUV rolling away while in park. I have video from my dash camera, the dealership and corporate office also has the video. They claim I just left if in drive, but in the video you can clearly hear the truck shifted into park. The vehicle starts rolling approximately 1 and a half minutes after I parked it in my driveway. I came back out of my house to find the truck had shifted into drive and had crashed up against my workbench in my carport. The truck is still currently at the dealership, and they still claim it is operating normally. (they cannot duplicate the problem).

Our '14 ram 1500 was bought new on 6/22/15. On 8/9/15 our new 2014 dodge ram was parked on a incline in a friends driveway. My wife and son got in the truck, started it and put it into reverse to leave. After moving only a few feet my wife noticed the hostess coming down the drive to say goodbye. She placed the truck in park, got out of the vehicle leaving the door open and walked to the front of the truck. While giving the hostess a hug, hostess exclaimed your truck is rolling away. My wife tried to run back and around the door to get in the vehicle. Before she could, the open door took down two mailboxes and 4x4 timber posts they were mounted on and opened the door beyond the spring limit pushing into the front fender and popping out the front head light. The truck rolled across the street into the neighbors yard hitting a power poll where it came to stop. The impact to the poll was strong enough to pull down power lines. Upon reaching the vehicle a male guest noted the vehicle was still in park. My 9 year old was still strapped into his seat belt and significantly shaken up though not injured. The police and utility company arrived. The officer wrote his report up as vehicle malfunction. The tow truck operator said the vehicle could be driven in its condition. He pulled back the door to as close to closed as possible and tied closed. The rear bumper and tailgate are trashed. Insurance adjuster has given preliminary estimate of $8,900. The power company has not contacted us yet about their service call. I guess very fortunate that my wife did not make it around the door as she could have been crushed between the door and two mailboxes. Also thankful the the truck went straight across the street rather than turning and going down a long hill. Have contacted ram and was promised an investigator would be in touch within 3 days. 4th day and still no contact!
