Until we start exercising more personal responsibility, though, FCA’s lawyers are going to be in for another big payday… In fact, if you’re going to do away with a lever, using a dial is probably the next-most intuitive switch for an automatic gearbox. Using a dial to control something isn’t a foreign concept to most of us. Speaking from experience, it’s not hard to get the hang of it, but you always have to be careful.īut blaming rotary gear selectors for roll-away incidents is, in no uncertain terms, frivolous. And, while FCA definitely didn’t do anyone any favours by putting in that stupid ratcheting shifter, it ultimately did what it was designed to do. But that doesn’t change the fact that they were negligent. I don’t mean to disrespect anyone who died or was injured as a direct result of FCA vehicles fitted with, what I frankly consider to be needlessly awkward gear selectors.

It’s not overly hard to put the clutch in, shift into neutral, or both so why does the government need to get involved when someone doesn’t put their automatic-transmission car into Park? As an owner of a truck that can be started, in gear, with the clutch all the way out, “design flaws” are not an acceptable defense for your vehicle getting away on you. ![]() You are responsible for securing your vehicle when you park it. You are responsible for understanding how your vehicle’s controls work. You are in care and control of your vehicle when you are behind the wheel. If you possess a driver’s licence, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. That’s right, barring mechanical failure, it’s the driver. Speaking of responsibility, do you know who’s responsible for putting the car in Park? In fact, if you’re responsible, neither is the T-grip. While I don’t think that’s a bad idea, it hardly means the knob is dangerous. However, the knob-Luddites have a fairly trivial answer-one could say that FCA might as well just go back to the old-school steering column shifter. When electronically-controlled 4WD switches came out, about the only bad thing about them that I could think of was that it wouldn’t let you purposefully sabotage your transfer case (and your life) by shifting it into low-range while on the highway. ![]() A lot of people seem to hate the Ram knob, and I don’t know why. So, when NHTSA recently announced an investigation into a series of rollaway incidents involving Ram trucks, I was annoyed but unsurprised. As a result, the rotary gear selector is making its way into more of the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep lineup. You also have somewhat of a tactile cue to let you know what gear you are in. By getting rid of a console shifter (something that I think should never be in a truck to begin with), you make it possible to have either a large centre storage area or a bench seat. I’ve actually held the controversial opinion that the infamous “Ram knob” is a smart piece of design.
