The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is re-investigating over 1.18 million Dodge Ram pickups that might experience rollaways no thanks to a defect in the shifter's parking safety mechanism.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the federal agency within the Department of Transportation responsible for automotive safety, has opened a new investigation looking into a Ram defect that may not have been remedied by a previous recall.

The federal safety agency has received 14 vehicle-owner complaints and six death and injury reports connected to potentially faulty recall fixes.
