Description of the problem | This defect has the real probability of causing damage to both my vehicle and another vehicle. Taking my new truck through a car wash, i put the vehicle in neutral at the start of the wash. The car wash has rollers that drive the rear driver's side wheel through the car wash. At the end, my vehicle dashboard indicates that i need to depress the brake pedal and push the start/stop button on the dash. After doing this, the dashboard then tells me that i need to depress the brake pedal and put the vehicle into drive. Each time i depress the brake pedal, the driver's rear tire jumps over the roller pushing the vehicle and the distance between my vehicle and the vehicle behind me closes. My ram has the large monitor screen, and has the ability to install apps. What is needed is a "car wash app" that disables the requirement to depress the brake for these two procedures as long as the vehicle was 1) rolling in neutral; 2) has not traveled more than x feet (300); and 3) has not traveled faster than 4 miles per hour. |
