Consumer Description

On our 1st day of our 10 day vacation heading East on Hwy 26 to Crescent, OR. At Government Camp going up in elevation, our 2022 Dodge Ram Diesal 3500 4x4, stopped going. We were pulling a 32' 5th wheel at about 14,000 #. We pulled off the road and put it into park, let it sit then tried to put it into drive again and it would not go. The transmission rattled and made all kinds of noise. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS ON THE DASH OF ANY ISSUES! We put it into park and called 911 to assist in a tow truck. We had to wait for about 1 1/2 hours for the truck. An officer came up behind the trailer as we were on a curve and blindspot. We were on the white line!!!!!!! The tow truck had to pull us (because of the 5th wheel) to the snow park parking lot. Tow truck driver had to line us up then we had to unhook the trailer so he could take it to a Dodge Dealer. We spent the night in the trailer until the next day when we had to hire another tow truck from where we lived to come pick us up and take us back home. This excursion set us up for 2 individual companies, ugh! the 1st one only went back to Boring, OR and the truck sat there until the next day to be taken to Grasham Dodge. Gresham did not have the manpower to assess the situation and or fix the problem so from Gresham Dodge had to take it to Dick Hannah in Vancouver, WA only to then be taken across the street to Dick Hannah Jeep in the overflow area. Not secured and we found the passenger window open when we went to get the rest of our stuff. Have a service team manager, Austin, from Dick Hannah CJDR to have contact with regarding our truck. I heard there is no recall on the transmissions yet but from going on to the forums and seeing all of the other Dodge Ram owners, there should be. All of this should be completely covered by Dodge even the towing as if this had not occurred, we wouldn't be in debt of $4,566.53. We lost our first vacation and probably for the rest of the summer as we had numerous ones set up. Thank you
