2014 Ram 1500 pickup. Had stopped to refuel my pickup truck. When refueling completed, and after putting on my seatbelt, I started the engine and placed the transmission selector from park into drive. As I began to roll forward I had an electronic chime and notice displayed on my instrument panel: "vehicle not in park". having rolled only 10 feet, I stopped the truck, placed the car into park, and when I did so the digital speedometer gave an indication of zero. I put the gear back into drive and received the same alert. My speed was not more than 2-3 mph. I repeated the process and when I got the alert the next time I decided to continue to drive, after which the alert disappeared. Perhaps just a coincidence, but my digital satellite radio malfunctioned and continued to do so before self-correcting 1.5 miles later. This was the first and only occurrence. I have not reported it to the dealer. I am only reporting it now to NHTSA because of the news article that I just read citing my year/model vehicle being among those that have had reported roll-off issues. This could be related and might provide you with additional data for analysis.

I am writing with concern I have for a possible vehicle defect with a 2014 Ram 1500 4X4. I have contacted Chrysler corporate and have received little to no help. I have been basically told that they don't know what the problem is and have technicians working to solve the issue. The problem is a transmission issue that the neither servicing dealer nor corporate can repair. It has been in their repair shop 4 times. My last visit I was told by the service manager that the repair was not made because they did not know what to do and to 'drive it till it became worse or more consistent.' Their mechanic and service personnel have heard the noise as well but cannot determine the problem. The noise is a high pitch squeal at a down shift from the 2nd gear to 1st gear. My concern is that I have asked the servicing dealer and the case manager with Chrysler corporate about the safety of the vehicle. Regardless of the downshift squeal being from 2nd gear to 1st gear, should there be a catastrophic failure of the transmission at highway speeds what will happen? they will not answer this question. If this is a safety issue, they need to make me the consumer aware and repair as needed. I have asked them to replace the transmission and have been told every reason why they cannot. I feel this is unacceptable and my safety and the safety of my family is at potential risk. I have attached my correspondence with Chrysler for your review including the servicing dealer documents and the corporate case manager.

I am sending this complaint regarding the gear selector knob that I believe poses a safety concern due to the 5 or 6 times that I have exited my vehicle while it was running and still in gear. On a few occasions I thought that I turned the gear selector knob to park when I actually turned it to reverse. I opened the door and began to exit my truck when it began to roll backwards. I have a 2010 Ram with a normal shift selector lever and never had this issue. I thought that it might take a little time to get used to the knob style, but after 20 months, I am still having issues. I have spoken to others with this style knob and they have experienced the same issue. Each time this occurred was in my driveway either getting the mail or to run into the garage to get something. Thank you

We purchased a brand new Ram 1500 February 27, 2015. We've been having the same on going problem with the vehicle since we purchased this vehicle. We brought it to the dealerships attention on several occasions and have been told the same thing every time which is "yes we acknowledge the problem is their however there is still no fix ".this has been going on for over 6 months. When you bring the vehicle. To a complete stop, it jumps or shifts as if it's trying to jump into another gear. When you try to drive off in the vehicle the vehicle gives a hesitation like it's trying to go into a higher gear before you even pull off. On top of this the vehicle currently have 3 recalls on it. We should not be experiencing this with a brand new truck. We've contacted the dealership several times regarding this issue but we're not getting any results. They just keep saying we're aware of the problem but there is stilll not a fix. We do not feel safe driving this vehicle and would like to see some results! we've been getting the same results for the past 6 or 7 months and have decided to contact NHTSA, hoping to get some results.
