Consumer Description

My vehicle suffered a complete transmission failure without any warning signs. Transmission completely stoppped working in Downtown Atlanta during rush hour traffic leaving me stranded in middle of 7 lanes of traffic. Vehicle was towed to dealer and diagnosed failure was due to failed snap ring in transmission. It is a known problem in 22'-23' model year Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 trucks. Ram calls it the K1 snap ring TSB. reference attached spreadsheet. Over app. 40 day period 127 trucks have all been confirmed to have same exact issue. Ram has limited supply of repair parts available. Average time to get customers truck back on the road is currently averaging 37 days. my dealer told me to figure 2-3 months of down time. I was told service centers can only order 1 K1 TSB Parts kits every 7 days and they take roughly a month to receive. I was told there are 4 truck in his service center ahead of mine that still need same parts kits ordered. I have been trying for 7 days now (multiple times a day) to get a case agent from Ram customer care to return my calls. Still have not received a return phone call.
