Consumer Description
IT HAS SNOWED HARD ENOUGH HERE IN VIRGINIA THIS YEAR TO LEAVE SNOW ON THE ROADS. THREE TIMES NOW SINCE BUYING MY 2013 RAM 1500 WITH PENTASTAR ENGINE IN DECEMBER 2012 I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT HELP ME. IT SOUNDS RIDICULES TO SAY THAT "WHEN IT SNOWS I CAN?T DRIVE MY FULL SIZE RAM 1500 THAT SHOULD BE FULLY CAPABLE IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS". AS I UNDERSTAND IT WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW OR SLUSH SNOW IS THROWN AT THE TRANSMISSION, THIS RESULTS IN SNOW PACKING AROUND THE SHIFT LINKAGE. THE RESULT IS VERY CLEAR, YOU CAN?T PUT YOUR TRUCK IN PARK AND REMOVE THE KEY. IF YOU DON?T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR ABILITY TO CRAWL UNDER YOUR TRUCK AND MELT THE SNOW THEN THE ONLY OTHER CHOICE IS TO SIT THERE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING UNTIL THE SNOW MELTS. UNFORTUNATELY IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH MUD, WELL MUD DOES NOT MELT. *TR
