Q: shift gear doesnt lock on 2010 ram
So a few days ago, i parked and turn off my truck and told my kids to unlock them self while i check mail, which is a few steps away. Keep in mind truck was off&parked, i had the keys on my hand and then i look over my shoulder and the truck is moving. I run towards the truck because my kids are inside and the truck hits a car parked in front. I was confused at first because i didnt know what happened. I checked on my kids and they are crying and scared. So i drove the truck back on my driveway and talked to my kids to see what happen. My 4 year old unbuckled him self and then jumped to the front seat to play "drive", well he pull the shift gear down and, the truck moved. I couldnt believe it myself so i tried it myself with no keys and truck parked and it did happen again. I am glad my kids are ok, but now they are afraid to go in cars because of this. I live in an avenue so cars drive by often and this could have turn worse, there are kids on bikes all the time, please give me advise
A:
A few years back, Jeep had similar issue, causing death and injuries. Possibly same issues, since Dodge is part of same company.
