Consumer Description

My Ram 2022 3500 truck has18,888 miles and the transmission has to be replaced. I had it in for a recall and asked them to check the transmission for shifting issues. I was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. I pull a 38 foot Fifth Wheel approximately 15 thousand pounds. If the transmission would have failed on the road it could be catastrophic. Dodge is replacing the transmission with the same one with no fix for the problem that inherently causes the failure which has been many. The repair order# is 459891. The part # is R8447797AA. I was given a case # by Ram Care 87401824. I feel stuck spending 100K for a new truck and don’t feel safe putting back on the road risking the safety of my family and others. I have previously had a Commercial Drivers License and have driven trucks for over 40 years. Transmission failure at high speed can be catastrophic.
