POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

-What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? A: Transmission -How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? A: I was never contacted by RAM regarding the possibility of a catastrophic power loss c/o transmission failure for my RAM truck. While driving E/B on Interstate 15 in the # 2 lane at highway speeds and going up a grade, the vehicle suffered complete forward momentum loss and only engine revving was occurring, while losing forward momentum & speed. I had to negotiate several, extremely busy/heavy traffic tractor-trailer filled traffic lanes to make it to the emergency shoulder of the roadway before losing all forward momentum and miraculously did not have a collision with high-speed heavy traffic. -Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? A: I took my RAM to a nearby dealership. Based upon my description of the event and their subsequent vehicle inspection it was revealed and confirmed that somehow my RAM was erroneously, or purposely circumvented from the current transmission failure recall. The dealership discovered the issue with my transmission failure was identical to an in-progress NHTSA bulletin: 71A with TSB 21-00-2-23 (Attached PDF) and subsequently performed the repair free of charge. -Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? A: No, it was inspected and serviced by only by an authorized dealership and none of the above. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? A: Yes, the lights activated instantly/simultaneously as the failure was in-progress, in heavy traffic on the interstate.

Defect Description:

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

My Ram 2022 3500 truck has18,888 miles and the transmission has to be replaced. I had it in for a recall and asked them to check the transmission for shifting issues. I was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. I pull a 38 foot Fifth Wheel approximately 15 thousand pounds. If the transmission would have failed on the road it could be catastrophic. Dodge is replacing the transmission with the same one with no fix for the problem that inherently causes the failure which has been many. The repair order# is 459891. The part # is R8447797AA. I was given a case # by Ram Care 87401824. I feel stuck spending 100K for a new truck and don’t feel safe putting back on the road risking the safety of my family and others. I have previously had a Commercial Drivers License and have driven trucks for over 40 years. Transmission failure at high speed can be catastrophic.

Received a recall from FCA regarding exhaust module and sensor not installed. They offered a 12 month warranty. But damage to diesel exhaust filter has already happened.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I am a commercial driver for Hibbs Haulers and was driving the 2022 Ram 3500 DRW 4X4 company truck. Production month was September 2022. After driving at a slow speed in heavy traffic the truck felt like it fell out of drive and into neutral. I was able to move slowly but transmission temp started to climb into 220 plus degrees and a temperature warning came on for the transmission so I pulled onto the shoulder. I was able to use reverse but I did not have gears 1 through 4. A MIL code P0731 came on during this incident.

My truck was at the dealership May 30th for repairs. I asked that recall 22V-835 be repaired. They were unable to complete the repair & advised FCA only allows the dealership to order QTY 2 of the parts needed for the repair per week. Yet recall states "parts available". Had my truck back at the dealership Aug 14 for a DEF system issue. They informed me I'd also have recall 23V-060 repaired. Aug 18, dealer advised all parts were in. Dropped off my truck at 8am Aug 22 for repairs. 3pm Aug 23, my truck recall was still not fixed due to part not arriving. I demanded my truck immediately because I was called into work out of state & had to leave. Dealership advised they are not allowed to let the vehicle leave with it unrepaired. I demanded a 1 ton pickup with gooseneck towing capability or my truck immediately. As of Aug 26, Dealership hasn't called with my parts. If "parts are available", why can't my dealership get them? How long am I ro wait? If my vehicle burns to the ground & my house with it, who is liable?

Potential Consequences:

I have had two catastrophic failures of the Clutch Snap Ring that the first time left me and my children stranded on a highway 800 miles from home and took 31 days to repair. The second failure was while driving and almost caused me to be hit because of the sudden loss of power. This is a known failure that is reported in Service Bulletin (21-002-23) filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The original dealer reported he had seen 3 cases of these failures and the second dealer has told me he has 4 trucks waiting for this repair. It is a major safety issue that is known but not being resolved.
