What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ram 2500. While the contact's girlfriend was driving the vehicle, the gear shift lever was placed in the reverse position, but the vehicle accelerated forward. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a mobile home and a portable shed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the face and mid-section. The driver was transported by ambulance to the local hospital to seek medical attention.
Came to stop light after running 20 minutes on the freeway. When pulling away, the throttle was not responding, but I was in the intersection (since the truck moves without your foot on the brake) and needing to accelerate to not get hit. Pressed on and off the accelerator until finally the engine started to respond. This is the 4th or 5th incident. My previous incidents were reported under complaint number 10969231. Incident occurred with 14862 miles on the odometer.
