| Description of the problem | I was on vacation in smokes going up a hill. I was behind a slow moving car about 25 to 35 mph. When all the sudden my truck starts slugging. It was like it didn't know what gear to get in. It would go high and start jerking then low. Their was a car behind me so finally i just stopped in the road to let the one in front go on. It felt like the transmission was going fall out of the truck. Now it does it just going down the road . I can push the peddle 1/4 way down and it does not respond . It shifts in to a higher gear to soon this transmission in these truck need to be recalled before someone get hurt or killed. You never know what they going to do. Guess its the cause of the vibration at 60 to higher also. I took it to dealer today and they said its all normal . How can it be normal when it was not doing it when i first got it. Guess that is their answer to every problem makes their day easer. We the people of ram owners need help . Can anybody help us we pay to much for those trucks for them to ride like that. And for our peace of mind knowing that we are controlling the truck not the transmission . Don't wait to have it recalled because it might be you that gets hit by a defaulted truck or even worse your kid that is walking into a store. Asking for help before something bad happens. Thank for your help!! |
