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 on a canyon freeway and stranded my family for a long while on the side of a mountain with tiny shoulder. Had to climb up side of the hill and started a small fire to keep the kids warm. (Didn’t sit in the truck because it was close to the road). Almost collided with a car trying to merge without power traveling down a twisty road at high speed. This is a significant liability.

It has 71k miles and after 4 days of diagnosis, the dealer says I have an internal transmission problem and it has to be replaced. $4200. I brought it in while under warranty but they couldn’t find the issue, so now I’m stuck.

Wondering if this could be the rear window water RF or PCM reset issue. Has anyone else had this covered by Ram or the dealer? It’s also in for its 3rd exhaust leak and since RAM Care goodwilled one of the leaks, dealer says they won’t cover this because they only cover 1 lifetime repair.

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 acknowledges that it does happen. This truck has a recall for ECS software that may be dangerous while driving but not the motor shutting off? Give me a break.
