2004 DODGE RAM 3500. OUT OF PARK. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY INTO PARK, AND THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL AWAY WHEN YOU GET OUT. WE HAD A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM ONLY TO NOW HAVE THE HORN BLAIR WHEN YOU ARE BACKING UP AND YOU HAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO GAGE THE DISTANCE. THIS STARTLED MY HUSBAND WHEN BACKING INTO A VERY CLOSE GARAGE SPACE, MAKING HIM HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND SMASH INTO THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DODGE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IT IS WITH THE OPERATORS OF THE VEHICLE. BUT ONLY THE OPERATORS OF 2004 AND 2005 RAM 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS???????? NOT 1500 OR ANY OTHER TRUCKS. IT IS AMAZING TO ME THAT ONLY OWNERS OF 2004 & 2005 DODGE RAM 2500 AND 3500 TRUCKS ARE IDIOTS. *NM

4 of 4 complaints, reproduced as filed.
1 death reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
