TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V821000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (SOUTHERN MAINE MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 824 PORTLAND ROAD ROUTE 1, SACO, MAINE 04072) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

ON JUNE 9,2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:20AM I ENTERED AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER WAS PLACED INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. I EXITED MY NOW PARKED VEHICLE AND WENT INSIDE AT 10:21. PRIOR TO EXITING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY ROCKS AND THE AND THE PARKING GEAR ENGAGES INDICATING THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. MOMENTS LATER, 6 MINUTES AT 10:27AM JUNE 9, 2017 THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION AND STRUCK THE BRICK MAILBOX AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING UNREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE MAILBOX. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE TAILGATE BUMPER AND UNDERCARRIAGE. THE NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET WAS OUTSIDE DURING THE INCIDENT AND WITNESSED THE EVENT AND NOTIFIED ME. THE HOME SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURED THE ABOVE DESCRIBED OF EVENTS. AFTER NOTIFYING FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES I LEARNED OF A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 17V-821 THE BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK. THIS SAFETY RECALL MAY RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE SHIFTED OF THE PARK POSITION WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION OR A BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION. THIS INCREASES THE POTENTIAL FOR AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY THAT MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH OR INJURY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THIS IS WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED. THE FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES INVESTIGATIONS STATED THEY WERE SORRY AND NOT RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.
