Consumer Description
I PURCHASED A 2019 RAM 2500 TRUCK, AND BEGAN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK DROPPING INTO NEUTRAL AT JUST OVER 1000 MILES. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED CODES, BUT I DIDN'T MAKE SURE THEY DOCUMENTED IT. IT SEEMED TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE AND TURNING, SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT. THEN AT 6670 MILES IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND IN AN INTERSECTION. I HAD COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, THEN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT. I GOT ABOUT 10 FEET INTO THE TURN AND THE TRUCK ACTED LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE MESSAGE THAT WAS ON THE DASH STATED SHIFT INTO PARK, THEN INTO DESIRED GEAR. I DID AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING SPOT OF A NEARBY BUSINESS. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AND THEY OPENED A STAR CASE. EVENTUALLY THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL THINGS. THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. AT 9059 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS BACKING INTO A DRIVEWAY SO I WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT MY PHONE AND TAKE A VIDEO OF THE FLASHING LIGHT OVER THE SHIFTER AND IN THE CLUSTER. THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 1/13/2020 WITH 1520 MILES ON VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT IN THE INTERSECTION HAPPENED ON 5/21/2020 WITH 6670 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 7/7/2020 WITH 9059 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.
