Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

Recall Date: Dec 20, 2017

Safety Issue:

Potential Risk:

Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Potential Consequences:

OUR COMPANY LEASED THIS VEHICLE FROM MID COUNTY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ON 12/16/2015 AS PART OF AN EIGHT VEHICLE FLEET. ON 10/5/2016, THE VEHICLE OPERATOR PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARDS WITHOUT A DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE. TWO OF OUR CLIENT'S EMPLOYEES NOTICED THE VEHICLE MOVING AND WERE ABLE TO JUMP IN TO THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT. WHEN ONE OF OUR CLIENT'S EMPLOYEES ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, HE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR WAS ALREADY IN A PARKED POSITION. HE THEN APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BREAK. WITHOUT THE INTERVENTION OF OUR CLIENT'S EMPLOYEES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CRASHED IN TO A HIGH-TRAFFIC EXTERIOR STAIRWELL ON OUR CLIENT'S PROPERTY. A COMPREHENSIVE INCIDENT REPORT IS ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. FOR PRIVACY PURPOSES, WE HAVE REDACTED INFORMATION DIRECTLY PERTAINING TO OUR CLIENT. OUR CLIENT' S EMPLOYEES ARE REFERRED TO BY THEIR LAST NAMES ONLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND TOWED TO MID COUNTY CHRYSLER FOR REPAIRS. WHILE THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, ANOTHER 2016 RAM 1500 HAD A SIMILAR TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION ON 8/22/2016. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT MALFUNCTION IN THIS MODEL.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARM, AFTER ABOUT 1/2 HOUR OF DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO DRIVE ROUGH. WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HITS ME FROM THE REAR. WHEN I'M DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH AND SLOW DOWN IT DOWN SHIFTS HARD (CLUNK). WHEN I'M DRIVING AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND I GO TO PASS,WHEN IT PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS A LONG HESITATION AND THEN IT BOGS DOWN THEN ACCELERATES. IT'S SCARY MY WIFE GETS NERVOUS WHEN SHE'S DRIVING. THE LONGER YOU DRIVE IT THE WORSE IT GETS. I HAVE 9,500 MILES ON IT. AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOU EXIT TO THE STREETS THE GAS PEDAL HAS A LOT OF PLAY IN IT-ABOUT 1.5 INCHES FROM WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE PEDAL TO WHEN IT KICKS IN AND THEN THE RESPONSE IS A BIT JERKY. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/26/2016 AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I EXPLAINED THAT THEY NEEDED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR A WHILE. WHEN THE TRUCK IS COLD IT'S OK, NO ISSUES. IV'E TALKED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO HAS 40 PLUS YEARS WORKING ON CARS AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE'S HEARD THE SAME COMPLAINT FROM OTHER RAM TRUCK OWNERS. HE TOLD ME TO REGISTER THE COMPLAINT...THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
