2016 RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

The ABS control module and pump failed. ABS Light, Traction / Stabilitrak light / Brake Light on Vehicle was diagnosed by the dealership Dec 16, 2022 was given quote to repair but the parts were not available and back ordered. Been reaching out since to have truck repaired multiple dealerships but ABS module is not available no ETA been driving vehicle as is Currently ABS module is still not available no ETA now and vehicle is rendered in operable due to the ABS Module failure There have been multiple complaints of this issue, yet nothing is being done.

Went to start my truck and it wouldnt start. Connected a jumper box to it to start it and started right up. Check engine light came on and showed "Code P1DF3". My safety was at risk due to not being able to get back home due to this issue. This fault has been reported by others with the ram 1500.

Passenger side axle half shaft has separated. There is a recall (Safety Recall S32) currently on 2016 Ram 1500 4WD manufactured between February 19, 2016, and March 3, 2016. This vehicle was manufactured March 8, 2016. It is too coincidental that I am having the same issue as described in the recall information. I have contacted FCA via phone and was told their was nothing that could be done because the vehicle in service date was 3/28/2016. I would like this investigated further to determine if my and other trucks should be included in this recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the rear wheel seized, causing the vehicle to abruptly stop. The contact discovered that the vehicle failed to drive forward while in drive(D). The contact stated that after switching to 4WD, the vehicle was driven off the road and was later towed to the residence. The contact stated that while examining the vehicle, the contact determined that the rear differential had failed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V198000 (POWER TRAIN). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 81,127.

Mileage: 81,127

The Dealer did not complete this Safety Recall, They refused to follow up with the repair description of 73A which is part of this 66A they both have the same NHSTA Number. The vehicle seems to be more difficult to drive after getting it back from the dealer. I also noticed new cosmetic damages, and a missing cover under the fender-well. The vehicle was returned to me with an incomplete recall. "Jun 08,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number66A NHTSA Recall Number23V-411 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. Safety Risk A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Remedy FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to update the powertrain control module software (FCA US Recall ID 66A) or, in some cases, replace the tone wheel (FCA US Recall ID 73A). In cases wherein the Approved Emissions Modification was not installed in Subject Vehicles owned or leased by an Eligible Owner or Eligible Lessee who did not request such installation pursuant to paragraph 23 or did not accept Defendants' offer to install pursuant to paragraphs 37 and 38, wherein such capitalized terms and paragraph references are part of that certain Consent Decree ordered effective May 3, 2019 by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, in the matter of IN RE: CHRYSLER-DODGE-JEEP ECODIESEL MARKETING, SALES PRACTICES, AND PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION, No. 3:17-md-02777-EMC, FCA US will replace the tone wheel (FCA US Recall ID 73A)."

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked and attempting to be started, the vehicle failed to start as intended. The contact stated that the gear shifter had seized in park. In addition, the check engine and ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with ABS control module failure. The contact was informed that the ABS control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was informed that parts were no longer manufactured to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

Brake Warning light on, ABS light on, traction control light on, cruse control disabled, 4 wheel drive disabled. Appears to be same issue as NHTSA Recall Number24V-896 but on 2016 Dodge Ram 1500.

Since buying our 2016 Ram 1500 ecodiesel, we have had nothing but problems. In 2020 there was an EGR/coolant leak that was supposedly done. Upon getting the recall done, they said that the manufacturer has not yet made any equipment to fix the issue. They replaced our hose, but we have had to get it fixed almost annually since then. This is a lemon of a truck and FCA should be ashamed releasing a vehicle with so many issues and no fix in sight. It says our recall was "remedied", but even the service department said that there is no guaranteed fix because FCA has not released anything to actually fix this issue. We were without our truck for almost a month. Ridiculous. DO NOT BUY THIS TRUCK, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!

Husbands car started making a ticking noise and was loosing power while driving, so we brought it into the dealership. It will be $5796.58 to fix the rocker arms and camshaft. The estimate is for rocker arm roller failed damaging the camshaft. We are thankful that it has not caused any major incidents while driving that would casue serious harm to him and others on the road. Upon doing research we have found that this is a common issue with the engine that is in his Ram 1500, 2016. It was sold to us and we were not informed that this could be an issue. Again, we are thankful that he was not hurt before we were able to get it to the dealership.

Lost acceleration, check engine light and warning light came on ‘Service Electronic Throttle Control’ Diagnostic code P0336 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Truck has issues starting, once running, it idles rough and is in limp mode Appears to correspond with Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475

The vehicle suddenly started performing very erratically on highway. After inspection the camshaft and lifters are very damaged and the engine is constantly misfiring. I have performed regular routine maintenance on this vehicle its whole life. There is no reason these parts should be damaged unless they were defective from the beginning.

This vehicle has had an open recall (22V-406) open since June 2022, Dodge Ram still hasn't provided enough parts to the dealers to fix this recall. The parts have been on back order for two years. Considering this vehicle is registered in California, soon this will lead to us not being able to renew our vehicle registration. Dodge Ram needs to produce and provide the parts necessary to remedy this recall, I feel that two years is sufficient time to get this completed.

I have a 2016 RAM 1500. At 50k miles, the ABS light and the brake light came on. The message states “service ABS braking system”. 
I went to NAPA to get the code read and they said that I need the ABS Electronic Brake Control Module and the Brake Fluid Pump assembly replaced and that it could be very dangerous to drive my truck and in fact, if I keep driving the truck without it being fixed it was a danger to myself and others. NAPA called to order the parts and they said that it was back ordered by 3 days. The date of was 5/21/2024. They have NO date when they will have the vital parts to make my truck stop in the manner and condition that I bought the truck. I went online to do some research and I found out thousands of people are waiting years to get these parts and for every model and year since approximately 2012. The Dodge RAM people are not making the parts. They say it’s under “engineering review” or that they are simply backordered, FOR YEARS!!! So let me get this straight, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THEIR TRUCK ON THE ROAD IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE THE RAM PEOPLE “REFUSE” TO MANUFACTURE THE PARTS. This is what I’m being told. That my truck, that I paid a lot of money for and incidentally is paid off, doesn’t have the vital parts in it to make it stop effectively. I wrote to them to find out about the parts. The response that I got was telling me that the parts are no longer under warranty. I didn’t ask that question I asked when can I get the parts. And they never will answer the question. Why is this not under a number one priority for the safety of individuals and the general public? Why are people allowed to drive their RAM around when every one of the modules is failing in every RAM? I was told by NAPA that the modules are all failing around 50,000 miles. And again, they warned me not to drive my truck. How are we all supposed to get to work?

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the ABS, TPMS, trailer brake control unit, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ABS module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the part to repair the vehicle was on backorder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Mileage: 80,000

1. The vehicle has steering issues and is no longer drive able. Steering difficulty began in mid to late August 2023. The steering is now impossible to use and vehicle to l is rendered inoperable. 2. Since purchasing the vehicle I have noticed the transmission is having issues shifting gears. The rpm will be high at speeds of 40-60mph, and the vehicle will only shift to a different gear if I take my foot off the gas pedal for an extended period of time. I had auto mechanic troubleshoot and repair what he thought was a dirty or faulty sensor. Issue continues.

There was a recall on my 2016, dodge ram eco-diesel for the crankshaft position sensor and tone wheel. I have tried to deal with the manufacture they said this is not in effect anymore, and my vehicle was not in it. I do not understand they recalled certain plants that made certain vehicles. Mine has same motor Same problems only 130,000 miles

The power steering shuts off randomly.

While driving through mountainous terrain, my truck became unable to change gears and illuminated a check engine light and an electronic throttle control warning. I was able to limp it home to the dealership for repairs where they identified that the crankshaft tonewheel had delaminated. This exact issue is addressed in recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475 by FCA with the verbiage: "The magnetic material attached to the tone wheel on your vehicle provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." Incredulously, FCA will not reimburse me for the cost of the repairs because they did not include my VIN in their W68 recall announcement. The exact part failed in the exact manner outlined in this recall, but their method to avoid liability is to simply say my VIN wasn't affected by the manufacturing defect--which it obviously was. Instead, they included my affected VIN in their W58 recall--which like a safe driver I complied with immediately--that only consisted of a software flash and an extended mileage/time warranty on the part (should it fail), that of course failed within 2 months of the warranty period expiring. I cannot understand how NHTSA would allow FCA to exclude VINs from W68 that were clearly affected by this very same manufacturing defect, and instead loop in clearly affected VINs in a simple software flash with a limited extended warranty. I ask that NHTSA please hold FCA accountable for this manufacturing defect and correctly cover ALL affected VINs with recall W68/NHTSA 20V-475.

While driving at 70 MPH down I-90 in upstate New York, during rush hour traffic, my 2016 Ram 1500 eco diesel lost power (engine stopped). The truck lost power, including a loss in power steering. I was able to navigate the truck to the side of the road and a state trooper pull behind me while waiting for the tow truck. The truck would not start after this. There was no advanced warning for this failure. There were no warning lights, and before the engine stall, the truck was driving and behaving as it should. The truck was towed to a mechanic off the highway and later towed to Castilone Dodge in Batavia NY. The dealer found the magnetic perimeter of the tone wheel was flaking, which caused an issue with the driveshaft sensor, causing the truck to stall. Castilone found there is an existing recall on this for 2014-2019 RAM eco diesel trucks. The recall is for "Risk of delamination of crankshaft position sensor tone wheels". However, upon looking into this and calling RAM directly, RAM stated the recall only affects some VINs, and mine was not included. I spoke to two different people at RAM, who reiterated this. RAM claims that my truck received a good tone wheel, which was not included in the recall, and because of this, they refused to cover the repair and towing bill. The truck was taken to West Herr RAM in Lockport, NY, where they replaced the tone wheel for $1,760.65. I find it curious, that my truck experienced the same issue that was covered under recall warranty for other 2014-2018 RAM EcoDiesels. But my truck VIN was not captured in the recall. I asked RAM to investigate whether there are additional VINs that should be captured under the recall. They refused to escalate my request or do any additional research. I'm asking for help form the NHTSA to hold RAM accountable to at least determine if this issue impacts additional trucks.

2016 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L 4x4 6 speed. Transmission failed at 149000 kms. Highly maintained police fleet vehicle. Never towed any weights. Transmission failed . Both 4th and 5th gear + O/D clutch are bad.

Nothing happened, yet. The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. Safety Risk A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. . This is another recall on a new problem. The previous one dated June 09, 2022. These are grossly unsafe. And, again, there is no remedy, no parts available and unknown if or when they will be. . I'd like FCA to buy back this vehicle at the market value it was on June 09, 2022. It's wrong to have to have such serious issues wrong with a vehicle that are dangerously unsafe and potentially deadly.

My 2016 Ram 1500 Sport developed an exhaust leak originating from the exhaust manifold like many other Rams. I noticed it because I could hear a ticking noise upon starting the vehicle, specifically coming from the passenger side front wheel-well. The vehicle was brought to a local Ram dealer and was diagnosed as having multiple sheared studs on the passenger side exhaust manifold. Due to the truck being over 5 years old, the power train warranty no longer covers this. Ram is well aware of this issue but still refuses to initiate a recall. This issue presents a safety concern and has a potential to endanger myself and any other passengers who get in the vehicle due to raw engine exhaust fumes being released within the engine bay while the vehicle is running which could enter the cabin of the vehicle while in operation causing potential injury.

there was a recall issued june 2022 and there are still no parts avaiable to repair it. how long in the NHTSA's opinion is a timely manner for repair of a condition that states "may cause a vehicle to crash"? I have a truck that's been sitting, dangerous to drive for 8 months. i called but whoever i spoke with couldn't give me a timeline. if someone who knows could let me kno, i'd appreciate it

I've been trying for over three years to obtain a repair for severe lag in acceleration in my 2016 Dodge Ram Eco Diesel. It's a critical safety hazard. A recall was issued June 2022, but Dodge continues to say a remedy is not available. Dodge has known about this issue for several years, and still does not have a fix? As I said in my first complaint submitted Jan 2020 (11300317), how many lives will continue to be put at risk because of this issue? Please help.

Traveling at hwy speeds the vehicle lurched as if the brakes were suddenly slammed on then removed. Speed was reduced to 60 mph, no sounds or vibrations noticed so began accelerating back to hwy speeds. RPM kept building but speed was not increasing as normal. Within a few seconds loud banging under the vehicle was heard and half the drive shaft came out the back flipping end over end down the hwy. The shaft struck the grill of a jeep following me but no damage was seen upon inspection. The truck came to a relatively calm stop on the side of the road. Both halves of the drive shaft were recovered, one from the middle of the road, the other about 20 yards into the ditch. Rear diff was spilling fluid. All casings and covers seemed to be intact. Towed to Dealer, inspected and they said best they figure is the axle seized up, destroyed the diff, and shaft. They do not believe the transmission or transfer case were affected but can't be sure until new rear assembly and shaft installed. No one was injured in this event, although if the speed and height of the axle shaft flipping end over end down the hwy into the jeep was different serious injury could have occurred. Additionally, if a component of the rear assembly came off the truck could have come to a violent stop.

Driving 40 mph and suddenly motor died warnings for throttle and other flashing but coming around a curve was difficult to steer and stopped on curve and had to be pushed out of the way tried to start to no avail and had it towed to a local dealership where they determined it was a common problem with the tone wheel/ reluctor plate that apparently delaminates and loses part of a magnet on the outside which apparently they is a warranty expressly for this problem for 2014-2018 ram 1500 3.0 eco diesels which I’m being told by the dealership that chrysler says my vehicle is not covered ? Why I don’t understand.

On April 29, 2022 while driving 75mph pulling a trailer my truck (Ram 1500 3.0L Ecodiesel) lost full power and electrical. When taken to the dealership for repair, they found that the crank shaft position sensor tone ring attached to the flywheel had become delaminated and caused the entire truck to shut down. When I inquired about a separate recall NHTSA Recall No. : 20V-475, but was told that didn't include my truck. I believe that FCA did not include all the vehicles possible in the previous recall and are putting people at risk as a result.

The service electronic throttle control keeps coming on despite efforts to correct. The sensor was cleaned but the throttle control warning light continues to come on. The vehicle emissions are too high and impacting the power train. The vehicle loses power significantly and will not accelerate and the electronic throttle control warning light will come on. This issue is dangerous to the wellbeing of drivers as the loss of acceleration could increase risk of collision. Based on reading forums about the 2015-2016 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is notorious for this occurring. This is endangering the lives of all owners as there is no indication that this is going to occur, and no recall has been issued.

There is an open recall for certain vin#'s 20v-475 that happened to my vehicle and according to message boards a lot of other vehicles that have the failure of the tone wheel to the exact way the recall is listed but for some reason the vin does't fall under the recall. My vehicle had a complete shut down without warning or noises while driving at highway speeds on a windy narrow parkway with minimal shoulder. If I wasn't driving in the right lane at the time my situation could've been even more dangerous than it already was. I don't understand how a part that that is used in all ecodiesel engines from 2014-2018 and has a known failure is supposedly only affecting a small percentage of engines when they all have the same part. I have searched message board after message board and have found a lot of listings of this part failure all on vin's that for some reason aren't on the recall. As a SAFETY precaution letters should've went out to all ecodiesel vehicles within those years to at least alert drivers theres a potential for this failure. If it wasn't for the fuel pump recall that they do not have a fix for, I wouldn't have been as aware of m vehicle possibly shutting down without warning. Again I think as a SAFETY precaution letters should be sent to all ecodiesel owners alerting them of this possible engine failure that could endanger their lives and open an investigation to see why a part used in all of the vehicles only affects certain ones when it is obviously failing in all ecodiesel engines.

While traveling at highway speeds on a narrow parkway with minimal shoulders, the vehicle without warning or noise shut down, almost causing a major accident and I wouldn't have been able to get to the shoulder if I wasn't in the right lane. The shoulder barely had room for my truck putting myself and other vehicles at risk. There was ABSOLUTELY no warning that my car was going to completely shut down, no lights illuminated on my dash until i was on the grass and the engine was dead. The dealership confirms the exact issue was a failure of the Magnetic tone wheel that has a NHTSA Recall# 20V-475, that is an identical symptom and diagnosis to my exact issue. The dealership Meadowlands of Carmel (845)225-8468 [XXX] in the service department quoted me $1,600.00 plus tax to replace the magnetic tone wheel. I am also a government employee and I am unable to get to work. My engine type and year (2016) is identical to this recall stated above (20V-475), but for some reason that no one at RAM Customer Service or the RAM Recall Department can identify why my VIN number is excluded from a recall that my VIN is clearly a part of. I had ZERO symptoms, warnings before I could have been potentially killed. My kids were thankfully not in the car with me. I feel this is well within the spectrum of my VIN number qualifying to participate in this recall coverage, as well as other RAMS who may not even be aware of this without doing their own research of the circumstances and symptoms. I feel incredibly lucky to be alive and I follow my maintenance as recommended to a tee. Please feel free to go to Meadowlands in Carmel, NY: 1952 US-6 Carmel, NY 10512. Please see recall I am referring to: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCLRPT-20V475-5815.PDF Time is of the essence for me and if i can be of any help please do not hesitate to call me at [XXX]. Thank You, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The first sign of a problem was when my touch screen radio would randomly shut off and then turn back on again. As it would get hotter it would happen more often. Then the turn signals would have trouble flickering. The check engine light would show up and I've tried getting that figured out. When I was driving it would tell me "service transmission continue in D. Do not shift or turn engine off until you reach a desired location. You may not be able to shift again until serviced" with a blinking exclamation point. It would occasionally also say "service shifter" and sometimes when I would start it, it shuts off immediately. The worse part of all is when I was driving it doesn't automatically shift gears so I have to pull over and shut the truck off to be able to shift at the speel limit speed. This was all happening repeatedly 6 months ago before I dropped it off at the 2nd dodge dealership. The first one gave up on finding the problem. 1 year later and it's only gotten worse, aside from all the money spent.

Broken exhaust manifold bolts which cause an exhaust leak between the engine block and the exhaust manifold.

I took the vehicle to the local dealer and they diagnosed a Delaminated Tone Wheel, the same exact issue as described in Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475. The claim that my vehicle is not included in the recall. There seems to be no question that the issue of Tone Wheel Delamination is broader in scope that described in W68 and I am petitioning an expansion of that recall to include all vehicles that potentially have this issue.

When traveling at speed, the vehicle shudders or bucks as if the engine cuts out briefly, then resumes normally for a few seconds, then does it again. It creates a hazard on the highway as I attempt to move to the side of the road or travel slowly to avoid damaging the vehicle further. I took the vehicle to the local dealer and they diagnosed a Delaminated Tone Wheel, the same exact issue as described in Safety Recall W68 / NHTSA 20V-475. The claim that my vehicle is not included in the recall, because it was manufactured 6/07/2016, which is just outside the date window of included vehicles. There seems to be no question that the issue of Tone Wheel Delamination is broader in scope that described in W68 and I am petitioning an expansion of that recall to include all vehicles that potentially have this issue. Both the dealer and FCA refuse to cover the cost of the repairs at this time.

Was pulling in to a parking lot when the vehicle made a warning sound and then displayed "Check Engine" and "Service Shifter" messages on dash. The truck then would not shift in to any other gear but drive. it displayed that it was in park but stayed in gear and almost caused me to drive in to a pedestrian. The shift lights on the dash for the gears (P, N,R, D) all flashed randomly as if there was an electrical issue. Eventually I was able to set the brake, turn off the truck, restart it, and it finally changed gears. I took the vehicle to the dealer the next business day and they told me looking at the codes, that the shift module needs to be replaced. From what I have read online in forums this is an EXTREMELY common safety issue affecting the shifting/drivability of the vehicle. Per dealer, this is not related to the recall affecting the shifter on the vehicle. I contacted Ram care and they advised there was nothing they could do for me either. Total repair is going to be over $1,000 and I have no idea if this is even the issue or when it will happen again.

I was driving 50 mph down the road, when I started to accelerate (pass) around another vehicle when it just died. Got the check engine light along with oil pressure low warning. Coasted to a stop a ways down the road trying to get off on the side of the road. My 2016 Ram 1500 would not start after that. I put my Bosch code reader on the truck and it flashed P0366 which called out for the Crank Shaft sensor. Had truck towed to local dealer. This looks like it falls under the same recall as W58. In the process of getting the dealership to take responsibility of the situation and file a claim with their corporate office, because my particular VIN doesn't match their records of having this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle and shifting to DRIVE, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. The contact shifted the vehicle to PARK to stop the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to their location for diagnosis. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

On August 28, 2021, I was driving towards Huntsville, TX, on Hwy 30, a rural divided highway with two lanes in each direction. The speed limit is 70. The truck was empty except for me, and a few tools. I had the cruise control set at 60 mph and was going up a slight hill when then truck suddenly and violently popped out of gear. At first, I thought someone had hit me from behind. Fortunately, there was nobody close to me and I coasted to the side of the road and stopped. After a few minutes trying to calm down and read the truck manual--I never turned the engine off-- I followed the instructions to shift back to P (Park) and then select a gear. I did this and the bell ringing and flashing lights stopped. So I shifted to drive and took off again. This time I did not use the cruise control--just slowly got back up to speed. Then BOOM! Once again, around 60mph about 4 miles down the road, the truck popped out of gear a second time violently and suddenly with no warning. Once again, I coasted to a stop and just sat there halfway freaked out. Finally, I turned the emergency blinkers on and crept into Huntsville at 30 mph. The next day, Sunday, August 29, I started the truck to see what would happen, and the Check Engine light was no longer lit up. I phoned the Wischnewsky Dodge dealership in Huntsville, TX, and the Service Manager Chris Lovelady said I could bring the truck in and he would read the codes at no charge. On Friday, September 3, I met Service Manager Chris Lovelady at 11am and he downloaded the codes. I took a picture of the three codes (file uploaded below). He said the significant code of the three was P0984 Shift Solenoid 5 Control Circuit Range/Performance. He stated that since the codes were 'Stored' and not 'Active', he could not work on the truck--he said I had to drive it some more. If this incident had happened on the crowded freeway in Houston where I live, there most certainly would have been a wreck.

WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET 2 RECALLS REPAIRED TO OUR VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I CALLED THIS WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THEY WERE A YEAR OUT FOR SCHEDULING AND WERE ONLY DOING 1 RECALL REPAIR PER WEEK. MY TRUCK IS RUNNING POORLY (NO ACCELERATION, ENGINE IS STRUGGLING. RUNS OK WHILE STATIONARY BUT STRUGGLES TO OPERATE WHEN MOVING BE IT CITY OR HIGHWAY.) AND WITH ONLY ONE DEALERSHIP AVAILABLE I AM AT A LOSS. WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?

AFTER DIESEL EMISSION MODIFICATION TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGH AND JUMPS VEHICLE WHEN COLD. IT SENDS WHEELS INTO SPINOUT WHEN ENTERING ROADS WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. FUEL ECONOMY ALSO FELL FROM AVERAGE OF 23-24MPG TO BELOW 21MPG. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES ALREADY. THE SHOP WILL "RESET" THE COMPUTER, BUT THE ISSUE COMES BACK WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NEED A PERMANENT FIX.

I PURCHASED MY USED 2016 RAM 1500 BIG HORN A OF MONTH AGO IN THE END OF JANUARY 2021. IT HAD JUST OVER 70,000 MILES. WHEN I TEST-DROVE THE VEHICLE, IT RAN SMOOTHLY. AT LEAST I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING ODD ABOUT THE WAY IT DROVE. THE CARFAX REPORT SAID IT HAD FOUR RECALLS, ONE OF WHICH WAS A FLASH/REPROGRAM OF THE COMPUTER MODULE. IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE I NOTICED, LIKE OTHER RAM 1500 OWNERS, THAT IT SEEMED TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE, IT WILL IMMEDIATELY LURCH FORWARD BEFORE MY FOOT EVEN GETS TO THE ACCELERATOR. AT ONE INTERSECTION WHERE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I BELIEVED THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD REAR-ENDED ME. WHEN I STOPPED TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE, THERE WAS NONE. I HAD NOT EVEN BEEN REAR-ENDED. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE, IS THAT THE ENGINE SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS STRUGGLING WHEN I AM CRUISING AT ABOUT 1,200-1,500 RPM'S, AS IF IT IS IN TOO HIGH A GEAR. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS OR SPEED UP, IT HESITATES, DOWNSHIFTS AND EVENTUALLY ROARS TO LIFE. THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT. THEY DROVE IT AROUND. THEY TOLD ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP ON THE FOLLOWING DAY. WHEN I GOT THERE, THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD "RESET THE ADAPTATIONS AND UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE." THE 'ADAPTATIONS' IS APPARENTLY SOMETHING THAT THE COMPUTER DOES TO ADAPT TO THE DRIVER'S DRIVING HABITS. THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 'USED' TO THE DRIVING HABITS OF THE PREVIOUS OWNER, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. I SPOKE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN, WHO ALSO OWNS A RAM WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. HE TOLD ME THAT HIS DOES THE SAME THING, AND THAT "THEY ALL DO IT." HE SAID TO CHECK BACK IN A FEW MONTHS TO SEE IF DODGE HAS DISCOVERED A FIX FOR IT. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $25,000, THAT HAS A PROBLEM THAT IS PUTTING ALL KINDS OF STRESS ON CRITICAL PARTS AND I HAVE NO RECOURSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AND PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

ON OCTOBER 24, 2019 NHTSA ISSUED CAMPAIGN NO.19V757000, TO ADDRESS THE RAM 1500 ECODIESEL EGR COOLER MAY CRACK AND CAUSE FIRE. I OWN ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES AND THOUGHT PROMPT ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN BY THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THERE WAS A DELAY MANUFACTURING AND SHIPPING THE PARTS. I HAD MY NAME ADDED TO A LIST AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR. UPON RECEIVING AN "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" NOTICE FROM FCA THIS WEEK, I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE UP TO A YEAR (OCT - NOV 2021 TIMEFRAME) BEFORE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO FIX MY VEHICLE. BASED ON ONLINE REPORTS, SOME OWNERS ARE HAVING THEIR VEHICLES FIXED QUICKLY, WHILE OTHER OWNERS, LIKE MYSELF, ARE BEING FORCED TO WAIT A UP TO TWO YEARS TO HAVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ADDRESSED. ALLOWING A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD TO BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD EXPECT THE NHTSA TO CONDONE. THIS RECALL, AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED ISSUES (I.E., CRANK POSITION SENSOR FAILURE) WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE NHTSA MUST CONSIDER TAKING MORE IMMEDIATE AND STRONGER ACTIONS AGAINST FCA TO EITHER CORRECT, IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER, OR BUY BACK THESE VEHICLES AND REMOVE THEM FROM OUR PUBLIC ROADS.

IN ORDER TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE IN CALIFORNIA I WAS FORCED TO ACCEPT THE V08 EMISSIONS RECALL. AFTER THIS RECALL, I HAVE NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL LAG BETWEEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BETWEEN WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE BY BOTH THE DEALER AND FCA. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS NOW BECAUSE I ATTEMPTED TO EXECUTE A LEFT TURN AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE SLUGGISHLY ROLLED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THEN 2-3 SECONDS LATER, ACCELERATED RAPIDLY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN LANE INTEGRITY WHILE NAVIGATING THE TURN. I GENERALLY DRIVE FAIRLY MODESTLY WHICH IS WHY THERE HAVE BEEN ONLY TWO LIFE-THREATENING INCIDENTS IN THE PAST 3 OR SO MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD THE "UPDATE". REALISTICALLY THOUGH, THIS FORCED UPDATE HAS CHANGED THE NATURE OF THE TRUCK AND MADE IT ULTIMATELY MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALL OF THIS BEHAVIOR BEGAN AFTER THE NOTED RECALL. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THIS COMPLAINT FROM OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL, AND THAT WHILE RAM WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY HAD NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME. THE DATE MENTIONED IN THE REPORT IS SIMPLY OF THE MOST RECENT OF INCIDENTS THAT I MENTIONED.

2 MAJOR ISSUES: A- SINCE VEHICLE GOT COMPUTER SYSTEM UPDATED FOR THE EMISSIONS LAWSUIT - VEHICLE HAS LOST 70% POWER AT TAKE OFF. MEANING, I CURRENTLY HAVE A VERY HIGH RISK OF GETTING T-BONED AT INTERSECTIONS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T TAKE OFF. I CURRENTLY HAVE A CLAIM OPEN WITH CHRYSLER BUT THEIR CASE MANAGER CLAIMS THAT PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE. THIS EMISSION UPDATE WAS DONE BACK IN JUNE 2019. B- VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND CREATE VERY HIGH COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, IF THE VEHICLE SITS IDLING YOU CAN'T TELL THE PROBLEM, ONLY WHEN DRIVEN. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND ADMITTED ON 10/31/2019. AFTER 63 DAYS AT THE DEALER AND SO MUCH BACK AND FORTH WITH CHRYSLER CASE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS "THIS PEOPLE IS EXTREMELY USELESS AND SHOULD NOT BE ASSIGNED TO HANDLE CASES SENSITIVE LIKE THIS ONE!" ON 01/03/2020 "63 DAYS AFTER CHECK IN DATE" THE TRUCK WAS RELEASE FROM THE DEALER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPAIRS MADE. THE VEHICLE THAT IS CURRENTLY OVERHEATING WITH VERY HIGH RISK OF GETTING CAUGHT ON FIRE HAS BEEN RELEASED TO ME SO I CAN TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOLS AND AND MY LIFE AND OTHER AT DANGER. THIS IS TERRIFYING! MAKES ME THINK THAT CHRYSLER WANTS TO DEAL WITH MUCH MORE COSTLY ISSUES WHEN THE WORST HAPPENS!

AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE V08 (AEM) SOFTWARE UPDATE DUE TO THE RAM ECODIESEL EMISSIONS UPDATE MY DRIVING EXPERIENCE/PERFORMANCE HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. DURING ACCELERATION THEIR HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM 3-6 DELAY SECONDS BEFORE ADEQUATE POWER AND SPEED CAN BE FELT. THIS IS AT A FULL STOP SUCH AS A STOP SIN OR RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. DURING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC (PASSING) OR MERGING INTO A LANE IS WERE IS MOST NOTICEABLE. THIS FAILURE OCCURS EVEN WHEN ENGINE IS PROPERLY AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND IS WORSE RIGHT AFTER START UP. SINCE MULTIPLE PEOPLE USE THEIR TRUCKS FOR TOWING PURPOSES, THIS GREATLY INCREASES THE EFFECT AND EVEN FURTHER DECREASES THE PERFORMANCE THAT IS RELIED UPON. THE AEM SOFTWARE UPDATE SPECIFICALLY STATES "THE AEM IS NOT EXPECTED TO CHANGE ANY OF YOUR KEY VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS AVERAGE FUEL ECONOMY, RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, ENGINE NOISE OR VIBRATION, OR OTHER DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS." THIS DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REMEDY REQUIREMENTS. DUE TO THE FAILED INSTANT ACCELERATION AS WELL AS TAKING UP TO 3500 RPM BEFORE FORWARD MOVEMENT CAN BE ESTABLISHED IN SOME INSTANCES HAS LED ME TO FORMALLY CREATE AND RECORD A SAFETY CONCERN THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. FAILURE TO DO SO PUTS OWNERS OF 2014-2016 RAM 1500'S THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE AEM UPDATE AT RISK, NOT ONLY TO OURSELVES BUT TO THE OTHER DRIVERS AROUND US. BEFORE THIS UPDATE WAS CONDUCTED THERE WERE NO ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/PROPULSION RELATED ISSUES WHATSOEVER. LASTLY AS ANOTHER EFFECT BUT LESS IMPORTANT IS THE OBVIOUS DECREASE IN AND LOSS IN MPG. PLEASE HOLD FCA ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVE THEM ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE LIVES ARE FATALLY AFFECTED.

THIS 2016 3.0L ECO DIESEL IS A DEATH TRAP AFTER FCA REPROGRAMED THE SOFTWARE 2 MONTHS AGO. 2-4 SECOND HESITATION WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. THE TRUCK JUST SITS THERE AND DOES NOT MOVE. IN TWO MONTHS I HAVE HAD 3 CLOSE CALLS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND A CAR IS COMING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT YOU AT 55 MPH AND YOU'RE SECONDS FROM GETTING T-BONED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING IN THIS DEATH TRAP. THE DIESEL HAD MANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY REPROGRAMED IT. SINCE NEW THE TRUCK HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE 4 TIMES WHERE THE ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE MOTOR SHUTS DOWN TO ABOUT 10 MPG. LAST TIME I ALMOST GOT KILLED ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. YOU'RE STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 5-10 MPH TRYING TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN CARS ARE FLYING PAST YOU AT 70 MPH. THESE 3.0L DODGE ECO DIESELS ARE VERY, VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. AFTER THE REPROGRAMING FROM FCA THEY HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS TURBO LAG TIME. FCA HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE REPROGRAMING OF THE SOFTWARE MADE THEM WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY DESIGNED THIS ECO DIESEL, IT IS PRONE TO CATCH FIRE. ON MY TRUCK I HAD A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND A HOLE MELTED THROUGH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. LUCKILY, THE TRUCK DID NOT BURST INTO FLAMES BUT IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS BEING REPAIRED. THIS TRUCK IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND IF FCA CAN'T FIX THEM, THEY NEED TO BUY THEM BACK AND GET THESE DEATH TRAPS OFF THE ROAD. SORRY, I CAN'T DESCRIBE JUST A SINGLE SPECIFIC INSTANCE, IT'S DANGEROUS EVERY TIME YOU GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF FCA AND HAVE HIM TAKE MY TRUCK FOR A DRIVE WITH HIS FAMILY IN IT AND THEN GIVE HIS OPINION AS TO THE QUALITY OF THIS ENGINE.

WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE STALLED AND BARELY MOVED THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE PICKING UP AND MOVING NORMALLY. 4. HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN ON COMING IT COULD HAVE CREATED A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. 5. I HEREBY EXERT THAT THE "FIX" FOR THE EMISSIONS BY FCA IS NOW CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR "OWNERS" WHO HAVE RECEIVED THIS THIS RECALL "FIX" 6.

SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTIONS SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT, I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS COMPLAINT BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUE. 9. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT NHSTA GET VEHICLES BEFORE AND AFTER THE "FIX" AND DO SUBSTANTIAL TESTING, AS IT IS NOT 100% OF THE TIME AND ISSUE AND MAY BE HARD TO REPLICATE. 10. OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED - LOWER PERFORMANCE AND LESS TORQUE 11.IF FUEL MILEAGE IS DOWN AND PERFORMANCE IS DOWN I WOULD SUSPECT THAT EMISSIONS MAY ACTUALLY BE WORSE THAN PRIOR TO THE "FIX" BEING IMPLEMENTED.

FUEL CONSUMPTION IS GREATER CAUSING A DROP IN MPG BOTH WITH NORMAL DRIVING AND GETS WORSE THAN BEFORE THE UPDATE WHILE TOWING.

RAM WITH ECODIESEL ENGINE AFTER APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION DUE TO EPA SETTLEMENT. WHEN ENGINE IS NOT FULLY WARMED UP THERE IS EXCESSIVE (3-5 SECONDS) DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITTION AT ANY INTERSECTION. WHEN APPLYING THROTTLE TO ENTER AN INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY MOVES FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR 3-5 SECONDS CREATING A COLLISION HAZARD TO OCCUPANTS AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK 22 AUGUST 2019, AN 8 MILE DRIVE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO REACH POSTED SPEED LIMIT AFTER TURNING OFF OF A SIDE STREET ONTO MAIN ROAD. I HAD NO FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS THINKING IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO RPM BUT STILL BARELY ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM. I WAS LOSING SPEED QUICKLY. SOMETHING GRABBED MY ATTENTION, NOT SURE IF I HEARD SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY BUT I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT MY REVIEW AND SIDE MIRRORS AND NOTICE A HUGE PLUME OF SMOKE EXITING MY VEHICLE. AT ABOUT THAT SAME MOMENT, I NOTICED A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF, I STILL NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE BILLOWING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND FRONT WHEEL WELLS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO BE A COOLANT HOSE RUPTURE DUE TO THE COLOR OF THE SMOKE/STEAM. I IMMEDIATELY JUMPED OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD THINKING IT WAS A COOLANT ISSUE. RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED A FLAME AT THE REAR OF THE ENGINE. I HAD NO ACCESS TO WATER WHERE I WAS LOCATED AND MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO BLOW IT OUT. IT WORKED FOR ME BUT PROBABLY ONLY BECAUSE I HAD GOT TO THE FIRE BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO SPREAD TOO QUICK. FIRE/RESCUE WAS DISPATCHED, REMOVED ENGINE COVER AND NOTICED SMOLDERING PLASTIC/WIRE HARNESS AND DOUSED WITH 4-5 CUPS OF WATER UNTIL ALL TRACES OF FIRE WERE GONE.

V08 AEM RECALL PERFORMED ON 6/4/19. POST RECALL, LOSS IN FUEL ECONOMY, REDUCED POWER ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING, AND SEVERE TURBO LAG LASTING FOUR TO SEVEN SECONDS. THE SEVERE TURBO LAG IS CAUSING UNSAFE CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED IS PRESENT WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS WELL AS AT VARYING TRAVEL SPEEDS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS ON CITY STREETS OR WHEN MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, BECAUSE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, EVEN UNDER FULL THROTTLE FOR BETWEEN FOUR AND SEVEN SECONDS. THE LAG IS SEVERE EVEN AT FULL OPERATING TEMPERATURES ABOVE 200 DEGREES. THESE ISSUES WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE V08/AEM RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS INSISTED THAT THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE V08 AEM RECALL, BUT THE VEHICLE OPERATED WITHOUT THESE ISSUES BEFORE THE WORK WAS COMPLETED.

THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP, I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED USED FROM A RAM DEALER WITH 30K ON IT. IT RUNS AND DRIVES FINE BUT WHEN IT IS COLD AND OUT OF THE BLUE IT HAS COMPLETE DEAD PEDAL. THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE, IT HAS ALMOST NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND IT NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL ITS WARM I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN A SLOW UNDER POWERED MOPED WOULD SCOOT FASTER THAN THIS TRUCK WHEN ITS NOT UP TO OPERATING TEMP. THIS HAS ALL TAKEN PLACE AFTER THE EMISSIONS UPDATE DONE TO THE TRUCK BEFORE PREDELIVERY. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO DRIVE LIKE THIS I HAVE BANNED FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT DRIVES AS IT SHOULD "POST UPDATE" THE LACK OF PEDAL RESPONSE IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES, DEALER SAYS ITS FINE AND HAS AN PERFECT MAINTENANCE HISTORY. TODAY IT WAS A BIT COOLER OUTSIDE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN RECENT MONTHS, KNOWING THE TRUCKS CHARACTERISTICS I USED REMOTE START TO WARM IT UP. IT RAN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE I LEFT, I DROVE DOWN ABOUT A 1000FT PRIVATE ROAD TO A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY THAT I PULL OUT ONTO SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND HAVE BEEN FOR TWO DECADES. NO CARS WERE COMING EXCEPT A WHITE MAZDA ABOUT TWO FIRELANES AWAY FROM ME SO MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM, I COULD HAVE WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD. I PRESSED THE PEDAL AND THH TRUCK FELL ON ITS FACE AND TOPPED OUT AT 10 MPH UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE CENTER MEDIAN TO COMPLETE MY LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS TO MOVE INTO THE RIGHT LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME, THEY WERE BEING ABUNDANTLY CAUTIOUS BUT THIS IS NOT HOW A VEHICLE SHOULD RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT DURING WARM UP OR NOT. IT IS A DIESEL AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEM MY WHOLE LIFE, I KNOW THEIR COLD BEHAVIOR AND THIS VEHICLE IS BROKEN. FCA SAYS ITS NORMAL.

THEN AFTER ABOUT A 1/2 MILE IT MOSTLY GOES AWAY, IN ANOTHER 1/2 MILE IT COMES BACK AND THE PATTERN CONSTANTLY REPEATS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED BOTH REAR UPPER AND LOWER TRAILING ARMS, 2 SETS OF ALL NEW TIRES, ONE SET NORMALLY BALANCED AND ONE SET WAS ROAD FORCE BALANCED, HAVE CHANGED OUT WHEELS, REPLACED SHOCKS, AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRAILING ARMS UNDER WARRANTY THE REST HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY ME OUT OF POCKET. IT IS A DRIVE TRAIN ISSUE HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP HAS STOPPED LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IS PLAGUED WITH DANGEROUS DELAYS IN ACCELERATION, POOR SHIFTING TO THE POINT OF BEING A SIGNIFICANT LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE!! FROM A STOPPED POSITION, STEPPING ON THE GAS WILL PRODUCE A 2-3 SECOND DELAY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC - SEVERE RISK OF BEING BROAD-SIDED OR REAR-ENDED!

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSION RECALL COMPETED ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR POWER LOSS IN CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITION INCLUDES REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER COLD STARTING. I WILL START MY TRUCK AND DRIVE 2 BLOCK TO A 50 MPH HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN I WILL ACCELERATE ACROSS THE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS RECALL THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE LEADING TO TRAFFIC HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RPM INCREASE. I'M BASICALLY IDLING FORWARD INTO 50 MPH TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH FCA THEY HAVE COME BACK AND TOLD ME THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL FOR MY TRUCK. THE SECOND DEALER HAS EVEN STATED THEY ARE ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND AFTER SUBMITTING THEIR FINDINGS TO FCA THEY WERE TOLD TO INFORM ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THIS LIMITED THROTTLE RESPONSE IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING GIVEN THE SPEED OF THE ROAD I LIVE OFF OF AND THE FACT THAT FCA CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER EVERY COLD START AND THERE IS A LARGER LAG IF THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS THROTTLE LAG ONLY STARTED OCCURRING AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON 5/30/2019 AND HAD OCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE.

I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH HE HAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THIS BEING DONE AND THE ONLY THING HE HAS HEARD IS AN IMPROVEMENT OF MPG. WELL I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND I'VE NOTICED A DECREASE OF ALMOST 2 MPG WHICH I KIND OF EXPECTED UNLIKE HIS CLAIM OF IMPROVED MPG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS FOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD SINGLE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE TURBO DIESEL HAS A LITTLE BIT OF LAG TIME FOR THE TURBO TO SPOOL UP BUT NOW IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS TO GET RESPONSE OF THROTTLE!! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THIS IN MY OPINION IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! LIKE I SAID BEFORE I UNDERSTAND THERE IS LAG IN A TURBO DIESEL BUT 7 SECONDS! WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE DOESNT RESPOND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. I WISH I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PERFORMED NOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY ASPECT UNTIL NOW. I FEEL THAT OWNERS SHOULD BE AT LEAST GIVEN SOME TYPE OF HEADS UP TO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE BEFORE LONG THIS IS GOING TO START CAUSING PEOPLE TO WRECK. WHEN YOU DRIVE A VEHICLE YOU GET USED TO THE WAY IT DRIVES. THIS HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THIS TRUCK RESPONDS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. ITS LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT VEHICLE NOW.

BACK IN THE END OF AUGUST/BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2016 I TOOK MY 2016 RAM 1500 IN FOR SHIFTING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING THEY REPLACED THE VALVE ASSEMBLY PART ON THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3 DAYS I NOTICED I COULD NOT GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN EASLEY SC AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT SO THEY CAN TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AGAIN. ON 9/17/2016 IT WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND I WAS TOLD THAT RAM WAS REPLACING WITH A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER THERE WAS NOT AN ETA FOR DELIVERY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL REP WOULD FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS AND NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD BACK FROM HIM EITHER. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE MANAGERS AND THEY CAN NOT EVEN GET AN ETA FOR THE PART. THE TRUCK ALSO NEEDS (2) RECALLS CORRECTED AS WELL. II ASKED ABOUT A LOANER AND WAS TOLD UNTIL THEY HAVE AN ETA ON THE PART THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. SO I AM NOT FORCED TO DRIVE A TRUCK WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. ALSO I WANT TO MENTION THAT THE TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE'S WARRANTY. MY EXTENDED MOPAR WARRANTY HAS NOT EVEN KICKED IN YET. SO BASICALLY I HAVE A TRUCK THAT THE COMPANY CAN NOT GET A MAJOR PART UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CAN BARELY GET OUT OF 1ST GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES I SUFFER A VERY HARD JOLT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT RAM IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

THE ROAD DID NOT HAVE CURBS BUT DID HAVE STEEP CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES (NOTE: I WOULD NOT THINK A TRUCK AT IDLE WOULD MAKE IT UP TO THE ROAD) THE TRUCK "TOOK OFF" PER 3 WORKERS THAT WERE NEAR BY IN THE LOT MOVING A LARGE SLAB OF GRANITE, AND A SIMI DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD STATING THAT BOTH MY RAM AND HIS TRACTOR HIT TIRES AND THAT'S WHAT GOT MY TRUCK TO STOP.

THE TRUCK ALLOWED ME TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK. I THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK, MOVED IT BACK TO THE PARKING LOT.

IN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 2-3MPH THE TRANSMISSION "JUMPS" BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. IT MATTERS NOT IF THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM.

TRANSMISSION PAN GASKET DRAIN PLUG AND FLUID REPLACED 02/01/17. TRUCK IN NOW AT 16,235 05/31/2017 AND IS GOING IN AGAIN FOR A TRANSMISSION LEAK.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT KNOB HAS FAILED TO KEEP VEHICLE IN PARK ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, IT IS PLACED TOO CLOSE TO THE A/C FAN CONTROL KNOB. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK FROM DRIVE, AND AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AFTER IT WAS IN PARK, THE TRANSMISSION MOVED BACK TO DRIVE. LUCKILY, MY FOOT WAS STILL HOVERING OVER THE BRAKE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. ON THE SECOND OCCASION, AS I WAS PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK FROM DRIVE, I PLACED IT INTO PARK, HEARD THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. AGAIN, IT JUMPED BACK INTO DRIVE, BUT MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ONE THING TO ADD CONCERNING THE PLACEMENT AS TOO CLOSE TO THE A/C FAN CONTROL, I ACTUALLY REACHED OVER AS TURNING TO OPEN MY DOOR AND TURNED THE A/C FAN TO THE LEFT (OFF) WHICH IS THE SAME DIRECTION AS PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK FROM DRIVE. IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND I LOOKED AND REALIZED I WAS CONTROLLING THE A/C.

I ALSO NOTED THAT AS IT ROLLED FORWARD IT DID SO IN RYTHMIC MANNER; TWO BEATS; AS THOUGH THE ENGINE HAD TURNED OVER/ ROLLED OVER.

I EXPERIENCED A 'ROLL AWAY' EVENT AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK VIA THE GEAR KNOB SELECTOR WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. AFTER ENGAGING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, OPENING THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND STEPPING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED FORWARD CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE SOME 30 FEET AHEAD. THE INITIAL POSITION OF THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE A LARGE COMMERCIAL GARAGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME DISENGAGED FROM PARK, IT ROLLED FORWARD THROUGH THE GARAGE DOORS AND INTO THE GARAGE SPACE UNTIL CRASHING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE (PARKED). AFTER REALIZING THE VEHICLE HAD DROPPED OUT OF PARK AND WAS MOVING FORWARD, I TRIED TO JUMP BACK INTO THE CAB TO APPLY THE BRAKES. I WAS UNABLE TO FULLY CATCH UP TO THE TRUCK, SLIPPED ON THE RUNNING BOARD/RAIL AND SLID UNDERNEATH THE MOVING VEHICLE -- INJURING MY ANKLE AND SHIN. FORTUNATELY, THE RAM WAS STOPPED JUST BEFORE RUNNING OVER MY LEGS BY THE PARKED VEHICLE AHEAD. I HAVE SECURITY SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT. I HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S FRONT CHROME BUMPER FROM THE CRASH AND NOW HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE THAT THE TRUCK IS SAFE TO OPERATE. IT SITS VIRTUALLY UNUSED SINCE THE INCIDENT. I WAS HOPING TO GET CLARITY, ASSURANCE, ALONG WITH A SAFETY FIX AND BODY REPAIR FROM THE MANUFACTURER SO THAT I COULD FEEL CONFIDENT IN DRIVING IT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA AND OPENING A FORMAL CASE ON THIS INCIDENT. THEIR WRITTEN RESPONSE WAS TO QUOTE THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND INDICATE THE PARK IS ONLY A SUPPLEMENT TO THE PARKING BREAK. THIS RESPONSE IS UNSAFE, IMPRACTICAL AND UNACCEPTABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED FOR SERVICE AT THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND PROCEEDED TO PERFORM A "QUICK LEARN" PROCEDURE WHICH RE-CALIBRATES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT PATTERNS. UPON DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER THIS SERVICE NOTICED IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY AND CONTROLLER. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS THE ISSUE RETURNED. THE RAM FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE COORDINATED FOR THE TRUCK TO BE DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP SO HE COULD SEE THE PROBLEM. I PROVIDED DETAILED INFORMATION OF EXACTLY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AND SPECIFICALLY THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE ABOVE 170 DEGREES. THIS INFORMATION WAS IGNORED AND THE REP DIDN'T SEE THE PROBLEM. AFTER 6 MONTHS OF DEALING WITH THE ISSUE CONTACTED RAM CORPORATE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALER NEVER FOLLOWED UP WITH REQUEST FROM THE ENGINEERS IF THEIR SERVICE REPAIRED THE PROBLEM. WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER UNDER AN ESCALATED CASE. TO SUMMARIZE THE REST THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL MORE TIMES, HAD FIRMWARE FLASHES AND SAID THEY HAVE NO OTHER REPAIR OPTIONS, THE LATEST IS RAM HAD ANOTHER REPRESENTATIVE DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN IGNORING THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHEN THE ISSUES OCCURS AND SAYS THAT HARSH SHIFTING IS INERRANT ONCE THE VEHICLE BREAKS IN AT 5 - 6 THOUSAND MILES EVEN THOUGH THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THEY WERE DESCRIBING "HARSH SHIFTING". RAM CLOSED THE CASE SAYING THEY HAD NO FURTHER REPAIRS FOR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE SAYS IT IS ACCEPTABLE.

LOCATION - FAIRBANKS, ALASKA. TIME - 5PM ON 11/25/2016 THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 50 FT AROUND THE CORNER OF THE BUILDING INTO A PARKING LOT ON FLAT GROUND, BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP POINTED IN THE DIRECTION OF A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE DIAL SHIFTER WAS THEN TURNED TO THE LEFT TO SELECT PARK AT WHICH TIME THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER STEPPING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND BEFORE THE DRIVER COULD EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR THE VEHICLE STARTED TO CREEP FORWARD. DUE TO THE SLICK CONDITIONS IN THE PARKING LOT THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO CATCH UP WITH THE VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 10 FT BEFORE MAKING CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE PARKING LOT AS THE DRIVER REENTERED THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT IT TO A STOP AGAIN. NO ONE WAS HURT AND ONLY MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE WAS CAUSED TO THE TWO VEHICLES. FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE RAM 1500 BY THE DEALER SHOWED ICE BUILDUP AROUND THE PARK RELEASE PREVENTING IT FROM WORKING PROPERLY.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN PARK IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MY WIFE IN PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD TO RUN AFTER IT AND AS SOON AS I OPENED DRIVER DOOR IT CAME TO A FULL STOP. VEHICLE WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE AT THE TIME. AGAIN VEHICLE WAS IN PARK!

MY TRUCK ROLLED BACK ABOUT 6 FT IN MY DRIVE WAY WHILE IT WAS PARKED ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER GETTING OUT THE TRUCK. I MOVED THE TRUCK BACK AND ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER IT ROLLED BACK 4 FT. I THEN MOVED IT AGAIN AND PUT THE PARKING BREAK ON WITH NO MOVEMENT MY DRIVEWAY HAS A SMALL INCLINE AROUND 3-4%.

I HAD RECEIVED THIS DODGE RAM AS A RENTAL WHILE MY TRUCK WAS GETTING BODY WORK DONE. BEFORE I PICKED UP MY SON AT SCHOOL I STOPPED AT MY HOUSE TO EMPTY OUT SOME WORK TOOLS TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIM. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK WITH THE ROTARY DIAL ON A SLIGHT INCLINE ON MY LANEWAY I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WALKED TOWARDS MY FRONT DOOR. AS I WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRUCK I HEARD THE SNOW COMPRESSING BEHIND ME. I TURNED AROUND AND SEEN THE TRUCK ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN MY LANEWAY. MY REACTION WAS TO CHASE THE TRUCK THINKING I MUST HAVE FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK. I CAUGHT UP WITH THE TRUCK THREW THE DOOR OPEN AND JUMPED IN. I PUT THE BRAKE ON AND NOTICED IT WAS IN PARK. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND DROVE IT BACK UP THE LANEWAY. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN PARK AGAIN AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN SO I DROVE IT FORWARD AGAIN AND TRIED PARK AGAIN WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND IT ROLLED BACK AGAIN. I THEN TURNED THE TRUCK AROUND AND BACKED UP THE LANEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND LET OFF THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK THEN ENGAGED IN PARK BUT WOULD THEN CHUG ITS WAY DOWN THE LANEWAY BUT IN A SLOWER MANNER. AFTER PICKING UP MY BOY AT SCHOOL I PARKED MY TRUCK IN MY SHOP AND WENT IN THE HOUSE. AFTER HALF AN HOUR MY ADRENALINE WORE OFF AND MY HAND, WRIST AND ARM STARTED TO HURT. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED X-RAYS, I ENDED UP TEARING MY LIMB MUSCLES FROM OPENING THE DOOR HANDLE AND JUMPING INTO THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE RENTAL COMPANY TO LET THEM KNOW AND DEMANDED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE REGISTRATION FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY AND MY DOCTORS NOTES ON MY PHONE BUT I AM HAVING DIFFICULTIES UPLOADING THEM TO MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BACKED INTO A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE. STARTED VEHICLE AND PULLED FORWARD OUT OF GARAGE. PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. UPON EXITING, VEHICLE BEGAN TRAVELING IN REVERSE AND TRAVELED BACKWARDS INTO THE GARAGE HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE GARAGE WALL. HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8.5 MONTHS AND APPROX. 21,000 MILES AND IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE "ROTARY SHIFTER". HAVE NOTICED A FEW OTHER OCCASIONS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN PARK AND AN ONSCREEN WARNING CAME UP "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK". 17 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND WHEN THE OWNER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND CAME TO THE REAR, HE NOTICED THE REVERSE LIGHTS WERE ON HOWEVER THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE DUE THE INCLINE IT WAS PARKED ON. I BELIEVE THE ROTARY SHIFTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY.

TWICE I HAD THE TRUCK ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN IN PARK AND PARKED ON A STEEP DRIVEWAY. BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF. BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS ABOUT TEN FEET UNTIL I APPLIED THE BRAKES.

THE SECOND TIME THE TRUCK ROLLED BACK A COUPLE OF INCHES (AS EXPECTED IN A SLOPPED DRIVEWAY), IT SEEMED TO CATCH, BUT THEN STARTED MOVING AGAIN. IT SEEMED TO HAVE SOME RESISTANCE, BUT STILL ROLLED ABOUT TEN FEET AT WHICH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THERE WAS A LIGHT COATING OF SNOW ON THE DRIVEWAY AND I COULD EASILY MAKE OUT THE TIRE PRINT., SO THE TIRE WAS NOT SLIDING. PLUS OTHER TRUCKS AND CARS WHERE ABLE TO PARK ON THE DRIVEWAY AND WE WHERE ABLE TO WALK UP THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT SLIPPING, SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THE TRUCK WAS SLIDING ON THE SNOW. *TR
