What owners wrote
I stopped my 1995 dodge ram pickup, put it in park, and got out of the truck to talk to a man to get directions to a pharmacy nearby. I talked to the man for a minute or so and he told me that my truck was beginning to roll. In my attempt to stop the truck that was rolling backwards toward a busy street, I fell and the front tire on the pickup ran over both of my legs. The truck had slipped from park into reverse. This resulted in a broken fibula in my left leg with deep cuts on my left ankle.
Recall 97v084000 was issued, however recall did not include diesel engines. While driving the vehicle began shifting hard and the transmission fluid connector broke on the cooler line. As a result, the transmission fluid leaked onto the exhaust.
