After being stranded 3 times, 3 trips to the dealer with them having my truck a total of 3 months; we've finally found the issues: 1) Transmission was throwing erroneous "shift to park codes", manual stated valve body replacement, but techs recommended a full tranny swap and since Ram agreed to...

After two or three more weeks at the dealer we've finally found the issues: 1) Transmission was throwing erroneous "shift to park codes", manual stated valve body replacement, but techs recommended a full tranny swap and since Ram agreed to cover half the price of a new transmission ($4200, I...

My “shift to park” message, and subsequent engine kill, only happens after it had a hard time starting first. It starts exactly like it has very low fuel. Sputters and dies, sometimes just cranks over hard with no light off. Can’t figure out how that relates to a shift to park message later...

2nd drive with the new tranny and I’m currently sitting in a tow truck. Same issue. On the way to the dealer, I checked behind the rear seat and notice water drips marks on the back wall. I’m going to see if they’ll replace the RF hub. Will update when it’s done.

Well you’re better off then me who had shift to park motor shut off under warranty. Dealer could not duplicate. Then happened again on the freeway 11k out of warranty. Family stranded for hours, towed to dealer, recommended new tranny. Ram paid half. Tranny took 5 weeks to source. Currently...

Thanks for the summary. I read recently that dealers make more money in service than in sales. They seemingly have zero interest in troubleshooting or making it right, they’re just using you to pay the bills. I want to trade the truck in, but I feel like the new owner is definitely going to...

https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#vehicle/form-submit Submit safety complaints to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration via the above link. This is one way how investigations get started and recalls are issued. The dealer shows zero concern for this issue but...

Thanks, they told me it’s not a PCM code and now my truck is at the dealer waiting for a new transmission. There are 0 in the country and they said it could be months. They don’t do loaners either so I’m just out my vehicle for an indefinite amount of time.

Same shift to park issue, started a separate thread for it. Dealer told me I need a new tranny, which is puzzling because it’s clearly a software/signal type glitch. After 4 days they finally got these codes to show: No resolution yet. Very hesitant to spend $4200 on a new tranny only to...

Hey all, looking for advice on Ram or dealer covering “shift to park” issue. My 2019 has had the shift to park/engine died while driving 3 times. Took it to dealer while out of warranty but still under 3rd party warranty. “Could not duplicate issue”. Happened again but this time late at night...

Conventional 5.7L

2019 1500 with 56k, no previous issues. Last week I took it to the dealer the day prior for a suspected exhaust leak. Got the truck back and my wife was driving it. She said she got a message in the gauge cluster something like “shift into drive”, then the shift dial amber light was blinking...
