Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Dodge ram 3500 with cummins diesel. i got out of the truck on an absolutely flat parking lot, believing it to be in park. walked 30-40 feet and then vehicle began moving in reverse gear at idle and hit a car. dodge personnel have told me that due to the high torque, it is physically impossible to exit the vehicle. as soon as the foot is removed from the break, if it is in gear it will move at a pace faster than a person can exit.
