Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

Recall Date: Dec 20, 2017
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

I HAD RECEIVED THIS DODGE RAM AS A RENTAL WHILE MY TRUCK WAS GETTING BODY WORK DONE. BEFORE I PICKED UP MY SON AT SCHOOL I STOPPED AT MY HOUSE TO EMPTY OUT SOME WORK TOOLS TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIM. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK WITH THE ROTARY DIAL ON A SLIGHT INCLINE ON MY LANEWAY I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WALKED TOWARDS MY FRONT DOOR. AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK I HEARD THE SNOW COMPRESSING BEHIND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND SEEN THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN MY LANEWAY. MY REACTION WAS TO CHASE THE TRUCK THINKING I MUST HAVE FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK. I CAUGHT UP WITH THE TRUCK THREW THE DOOR OPEN AND JUMPED IN. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND NOTICED IT WAS IN PARK. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND DROVE IT BACK UP THE LANEWAY. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN SO I DROVE IT FORWARD AGAIN AND TRIED PARK AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN. I THEN TURNED THE TRUCK AROUND AND BACKED UP THE LANEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND LET OFF THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK THEN ENGAGED IN PARK BUT WOULD THEN CHUG ITS WAY DOWN THE LANEWAY BUT IN A SLOWER MANNER. AFTER PICKING UP MY BOY AT SCHOOL I PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY SHOP AND WENT IN THE HOUSE. AFTER HALF AN HOUR MY ADRENALINE WORE OFF AND MY HAND, WRIST AND ARM STARTED TO HURT. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED X-RAYS, I ENDED UP TEARING MY LIMB MUSCLES FROM OPENING THE DOOR HANDLE AND JUMPING INTO THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE RENTAL COMPANY TO LET THEM KNOW AND DEMANDED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE.

Corrective Action:

I HAD RECEIVED THIS DODGE RAM AS A RENTAL WHILE MY TRUCK WAS GETTING BODY WORK DONE. BEFORE I PICKED UP MY SON AT SCHOOL I STOPPED AT MY HOUSE TO EMPTY OUT SOME WORK TOOLS TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIM. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK WITH THE ROTARY DIAL ON A SLIGHT INCLINE ON MY LANEWAY I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WALKED TOWARDS MY FRONT DOOR. AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK I HEARD THE SNOW COMPRESSING BEHIND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND SEEN THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN MY LANEWAY. MY REACTION WAS TO CHASE THE TRUCK THINKING I MUST HAVE FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK. I CAUGHT UP WITH THE TRUCK THREW THE DOOR OPEN AND JUMPED IN. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND NOTICED IT WAS IN PARK. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND DROVE IT BACK UP THE LANEWAY. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN SO I DROVE IT FORWARD AGAIN AND TRIED PARK AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN. I THEN TURNED THE TRUCK AROUND AND BACKED UP THE LANEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND LET OFF THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK THEN ENGAGED IN PARK BUT WOULD THEN CHUG ITS WAY DOWN THE LANEWAY BUT IN A SLOWER MANNER.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

STEERING WHEEL POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT, THERE IS A INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN . AT TIMES I CAN FEEL VIBRATION OF THE POP BEING TRANSFERRED UP THE STEERING COLUMN TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND INTO MY HANDS. THIS POPPING NOISE STARTED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE, MORE FREQUENT, AND HAS MIGRATED WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AS WELL. THIS POPPING NOISE HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ON CITY STREETS. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN TO THE SELLING DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY WON'T LOOK AT IT AGAIN UNTIL A CHRYSLER TECH REP IS AVAILABLE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT WILL BE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW WHEN A CHRYSLER TECH REP WILL BE AVAILABLE.

ON DEC 22 I PULLED UP TO MY FIANC'S SCHOOL PUT THE 2016 RAM 1500 IN PARK MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BREAK. I TOOK MY SEATBELT OFF AND SO DID MY FIANC. TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BREAK AND THE TRUCK WENT FORWARD. LOOKED DOWN VERIFIED THE SHIFTER WAS IN PARK FIANCE VERIFIED ALSO AND THE D LIGHT WAS BLINKING ON MY DIAL SHIFTER BUT WAS TURNED TO PARK. PUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON TURNED THE KEY OF TURNED THE KEY BACK ON AND LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS IN PARK AND P WAS LIT UP. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS ROLLED FORWARD WHILE IN PARK. LAST TIME IT TOOK MY GARAGE DOOR OUT. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 10936408 ABOUT THAT INCIDENT BUT WANTED TO PUT IN A COMPLAINT FOR THIS INCIDENT ALSO. THIS IS GETTING TO BE QUITE DANGEROUS. I DO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN I PARK NOW. HARD HABIT TO GET INTO WHEN YOUR VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC BUT I AM GETTING IN THE HABIT. I AM JUST HAPPY THAT IT WAS AFTER SCHOOL HOURS AND NO LITTLE KIDS WALKED IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD REAL BAD.. THIS HAPPENED IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL PARKING LOT TRUCK WAS AT A FULL STOP AND SHIFTER WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO PARK BUT D LIGHT STARTED BLINKING ONCE THE TRUCK DROVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN UNTIL KEY WAS SHUT OFF AND WHAT APPEARS TO ME IT RESET THE COMPUTER SO IT WENT TO PARK WHEN KEY WAS TURNED ON AGAIN.
