2016 RAM 1500 Power Train Problems

RAM ECODIESEL RECALL. MY POST AEM EMISSIONS FLASH HAS CREATED A SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED VEHICLE WITH UNPREDICATABLE ACCCELLERATION AND ENGINE RESPONSE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE BECAME IMPARIED AFTER THE EPA/DOJ FORCED RECALL FOR EMMISSIONS CONTROL TAMPERING. THIS UPDATE HAS PUT MY FAMILY IS SEVERAL SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. PULLING OUT OF SIDE STREETS ACROSS TRAFFIC THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER OR RESPONSIVENESS. THE TRUCKS MPG HAS GONE DOWN NEARLY 15% AND DEF CONSUPTION HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AS FCA IS CLAIMING THERE IS NO ISSUE. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

EMISSION RECALL(ECM REPROGRAM) VEHICLE NOW HAS A SEVERE UNPREDICTABLE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE SINCE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, FCA NOR DEALER HAS ANY IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AT HIGHER AMBIENT TEMPS, THE VEHICLE OFTEN FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE UNTIL ABOUT 3/4 THROTTLE. THEN IT SUDDENLY RESPONDS AS IF IT IS AT FULL THROTTLE. THIS WILL CAUSE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE EMISSIONS. AFTER THE EMISSIONS REPAIR, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OCCASIONALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND BECOME SLUGGISH AND SPUTTER AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. MOJAVE AUTO GROUP (631 MAIN ST, BARSTOW, CA 92311, (760) 256-3502) TESTED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE SERVICE MANAGER PARTICIPATED IN A RIDE ALONG AND THE FAILURE WAS FINALLY REPLICATED; HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE SHOWED NO CODES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT THE EMISSION REPAIR HAD TO BE PERFORMED IN ORDER TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE COULD HAVE OPTED OUT OF THE EMISSION REPAIR, WHICH HE FELT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE BECAUSE NHTSA...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MCLARTY DANIEL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (3709 SOUTH THOMPSON STREET, SPRINGDALE, ARKANSAS 72764, (479)-751-4563) FOR A MANUFACTURER'S EMISSION RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,500.

2016 RAM 1500 4WD SHAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 60+ MPH. STARTED HAPPENING AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THE TRUCK NOW HAS 75000. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY POSTS/BLOGS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE SHAKING COMES AND GOES ABOUT EVERY 1/2 MILE. WILL RIDE FAIRLY SMOOTH THEN IT REALLY STARTS SHAKING AND FEELS LIKE IT IS UNDER THE CENTER OF THE TRUCK. IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN AFTER ABOUT A 1/2 MILE IT MOSTLY GOES AWAY, IN ANOTHER 1/2 MILE IT COMES BACK AND THE PATTERN CONSTANTLY REPEATS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED BOTH REAR UPPER AND LOWER TRAILING ARMS, 2 SETS OF ALL NEW TIRES, ONE SET NORMALLY BALANCED AND ONE SET WAS ROAD FORCE BALANCED, HAVE CHANGED OUT WHEELS, REPLACED SHOCKS, AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRAILING ARMS UNDER WARRANTY THE...

WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FROM A DEAD STOP THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREMELY SLOW RESPONSE TIME. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND ACCELERATES. THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE UNTIL AFTER THE EMISSIONS RECALL WAS CONDUCTED ON THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT UNDER 150 DEGREES F. AFTER THE TEMP REACHES 150 DEGREES F THE ISSUE SEEMS TO SUBSIDE AND GO AWAY.

RECEIVED THE V08 RECALL UPDATE. WAS TOLD THIS UPDATE WOULD NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE, DRIVABILITY, EFFICIENCY NOR SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE!! THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE IS PLAGUED WITH DANGEROUS DELAYS IN ACCELERATION, POOR SHIFTING TO THE POINT OF BEING A SIGNIFICANT LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE!! FROM A STOPPED POSITION, STEPPING ON THE GAS WILL PRODUCE A 2-3 SECOND DELAY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC - SEVERE RISK OF BEING BROAD-SIDED OR REAR-ENDED! GEAR SHIFTS ARE OUT OF SYNC AND DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PERFORMANCE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS FROM A STOPPED (I.E. INTERSECTION) OR MOVING (I.E. PASSING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS) MOTION. TOO MANY CLOSE-CALLS WITH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS/FATAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED AND HINDERED RECALL UPDATE!! THESE ISSUES ARE WELL-DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND CONSISTENT WITH OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS WHOM HAVE HAD THIS RECALL UPDATE. IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BEFORE PEOPLE START TO GET SERIOUSLY...

AFTER HAVING THE EMISSION RECALL COMPETED ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL I AM EXPERIENCING MAJOR POWER LOSS IN CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITION INCLUDES REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER COLD STARTING. I WILL START MY TRUCK AND DRIVE 2 BLOCK TO A 50 MPH HIGHWAY. AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN I WILL ACCELERATE ACROSS THE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. SINCE THIS RECALL THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE THROTTLE LEADING TO TRAFFIC HAVING TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I'M NOT ACCELERATING. I CAN PUSH THE THROTTLE TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RPM INCREASE. I'M BASICALLY IDLING FORWARD INTO 50 MPH TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH FCA THEY HAVE COME BACK AND TOLD ME THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL FOR MY TRUCK. THE SECOND DEALER HAS EVEN STATED THEY...

RECEIVED A RECALL TO INSTALL AEM COMPUTER UPDATE. SINCE THE UPDATE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION DELAYS FROM A STOP THERE IS A 3-5 SEC DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TRYING TO MERGE I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A # OF TIMES TO AVOID A REAR END ACCIDENT. IN ADDITION MY GAS MILEAGE HAS ALSO BEEN DECREASED FROM AN AVERAGE OF 18-20 MPG DOWN TO 14-16 MPG. THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE AEM UPDATE MUST BE CORRECT QUICKLY AS DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME DANGEROUS.

I HAD THE AEM (APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION) DONE ON MY 2016 RAM 1500 3.0 ECODIESEL ON 07/02/2019. WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK I ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH ANYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PERFORMED. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECH HE HAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THIS BEING DONE AND THE ONLY THING HE HAS HEARD IS AN IMPROVEMENT OF MPG. WELL I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND I'VE NOTICED A DECREASE OF ALMOST 2 MPG WHICH I KIND OF EXPECTED UNLIKE HIS CLAIM OF IMPROVED MPG. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NOW WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IT TAKES ALMOST 7 SECONDS FOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION! I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW AND HAVE NEVER HAD SINGLE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE TURBO DIESEL HAS A LITTLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 RAM 1500. IN MAY OF 2019, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 10121879 (POWER TRAIN) BY CROWN CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6350 PERIMETER LOOP RD, DUBLIN, OH 43017). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THEN LUNGED FORWARD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,484. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE BUT THERE WAS STILL A LONG LAG IN ACCELERATION. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING THE EMISSIONS RECALL UPDATE V08 ON MY RAM ECODIESEL IT NOW HAS A LAG WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THAT HAS NEARLY RESULTED IN ME BEING HIT BY OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE THE TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN AT A STOP AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN.

AFTER HAVING THE AEM RECALL DONE TRUCK HAS LACK OF POWER. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP TRUCK DOES NOT TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY. GETS A LITTLE BETTER WHEN WARMED UP BUT STILL VERY SLUGGISH.

PURCHASE NEW AT DEALER, PROBLEM WITH FORWARD MOVEMENTS AFTER FULL STOP. TAKE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO WAIT, TRANSMISSION WOULD LEARN. NO IMPROVEMENTS, TAKE TO DEALER AGAIN ,THEY REDO SOFTWARE AND ADVICE TO DRIVE MINIMUM 700 MILES. NO IMPROVEMENTS AFTER 3000 MILES. WENT BACK TO DEALER, DROVE WITH TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT SOME RAM'S HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY ARE WORKING ON NEW SOFTWARE.DECIDE TO WAIT FOR FIX. WITH ALMOST 31,000 MILES TAKE TO DEALER AGAIN. TRANSMISSION WAS CHECKED ( 9 DAYS AT DEALER SHOP ). FINAL RESULT, TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING BETWEEN 2-1 THERE IS JERK FEELING ( NORMAL ). I DEMANDED THAT DEALER PUT ON WORKSHEET INVOICE THAT TRANSMISSION IS PUSHING TRUCK FORWARD AFTER FULL STOP ! DEALER DO NOT PUT THIS ON INVOICE. I HAVE A FORWARD MOVEMENT AFTER STOP ( LIKE SOMEBODY REAR ENDED ME , GET BUMPED TO ) AND NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TURNED THEIR VEHICLE ON AND ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE FROM THEIR PARKING SPACE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO REVERSE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A TRAILER ATTACHED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO REVERSE. THE "R' FOR REVERSE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT CALLED ATLANTIC DODGE (555 SUNRISE HWY, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795 (631) 422-01230) WHERE THE MECHANICS STATED THAT THEY WHERE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FAILURE EXPEREINCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,031.

AROUND 2-3 THOUSAND RPM MY 2016 DODGE RAM 1500 TRADESMAN WITH 23,000 MILES GET THIS HORRIBLE VIBRATION THAT SEEMS TO ORIGINATE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THIS VIBRATION FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE THE DRIVESHAFT OR TRANSMISSION. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST I'M GOING, AS SOON AS I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE TRUCK BEGINS TO DOWNSHIFT I START FEELING THE VIBRATION ONCE I PRESS THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT'S FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK IS VIBRATING BROUGHT THE GAS PEDAL AS IF I'M RIDING ON A RUMBLE STRIP. I LITERALLY HAVE TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR THE VIBRATION TO GO AWAY.

SOMETIME WHEN SWITCH TRANSMISSION CONTROL TO REVERSE AND DRIVE AND PARK IT SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL AND WILL ROLL BACK OR FORWARD I HAVE TO TURN THE KNOB BACK AND FORTH A FEW TIME THEN SEEMS TO GO INTO PLACE NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT RECALL FOR ROLLAWAY OR NOT NHTSA17V821000. I'VE BEEN SETTING MY ENRAGE EVER TIME I PARK DUE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. AND I AM STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS.USUALLY PARKING OR WHEN I TRY TO LEAVE FROM BEING PARKED OR ALSO WHEN TRYING TO TO FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. OTHER THAN THAT TRUCK SEEMS TO RUN AND DRIVE PROPERLY.

TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. CHRYSLER IN PROCESS OF REPLACING ENGINE THAT WAS REPAIRED AT 1OI MILES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION HAS STUCK IN EITHER 3RD OR 5TH GEAR AND WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT - SECOND TIME THE TRANSMISSION HAS DONE THIS. HAVE A VIDEO PROVING SHIFTING FAULTS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER IDLING OR IN MOTION FOR THE ENGINE FAILURES AND WAS IN MOTION IN BOTH INSTANCES WHEN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SEVERAL DEALER RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE ON THE VEHICLE THAT DID NOT INVOLVE EITHER OF THE ABOVE. WINDOW CLIPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THEY EITHER BREAK OR COME OFF AND HAVE TO BE REPAIRED WITH NEW CLIPS EACH TIME. IF THEY ARE NOT REPLACED, THERE IS A RISK THAT THE WINDOW WILL CRASH INSIDE THE DOOR IF ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ROLL DOWN OR ROLL UP THE POWER...

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING KNOB PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO OBTAIN A GEAR AND MOVING THE VEHICLE IS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE A FORWARD OR REVERSE GEAR IS SUCCESSFUL. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIME AND THE LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A U TURN ON A NARROW DIRT ROAD WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I COULD NOT OBTAIN ANY GEAR. ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE A COLLISION OCCURRED. NOTE. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL A RECALL 'AUTO PARK FUNCTIONALITY'WAS COMPLETED ON 11/29/18

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 RAM 1500. AFTER THE CONTACT PARKED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE VEHICLE STRUCK THE CONTACT AND CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF A BUILDING.

I HAVE A 2016 RAM 1500, CREW CAB, 4X4 WITH 20K MILES. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. FOR ABOUT THE PAST 4 WEEKS, I HAVE NOTICED A HARD DOWNSHIFT WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IN MY 2016 RAM 1500. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO MY PURCHASING CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD. 'FCA ENGINEERING IS AWARE OF A 2ND-1ST DOWNSHIFT BUMP CONCERN AND IS GATHERING INFORMATION ON THE SHIFTING CONCERN. FOR NOW, THEY HAVE DEEMED THIS SHIFT AS AN OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC.' TO HAVE A VEHICLE 3 YEARS OLD AND 20K MILES, AND SAYING I HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF THIS IS HOW IT IS GOING TO BE, FCA WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY MORE OF MY BUSINESS.

MY WIFE, DOG AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT OF A COUNTERTOP SUPPLY STORE. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 DEGREASE OUTSIDE SO I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS TO HALF AND LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING IN PARK TO KEEP THE A/C ON FOR THE DOG. IN THIS PARKING LOT WE WERE THE ONLY VEHICLE PARKED NEAR BY AND THERE WAS NO PARKING BLOCK IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WE WERE IN THE STORE APPROXIMATELY 20 MIN LOOKING FOR A COUNTERTOP THEN WENT TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SALES SPECIALIST. ABOUT 5 MIN INTO THAT CONVERSATION THE SECRETARY IN THE FRONT YELLED "YOUR TRUCK IS DRIVING OFF". I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUT THE DOOR TO FIND MY TRUCK ABOUT 25 YARDS AWAY AND ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD. THE ROAD DID NOT HAVE CURBS BUT DID HAVE STEEP CULVERTS ON BOTH SIDES (NOTE: I WOULD NOT THINK A TRUCK AT IDLE WOULD MAKE IT...

STOOD IN LINE FOR ROUGHLY A MINUTE OR 2 AND HEARD A CRASH, TURNED AROUND AND MY TRUCK HAD HIT A FORD EXPLORER ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE OF THE BUMPER. NO INJURIES, EVERYONE WAS OKAY. BUMPER SCRATCHED UP, GAVE THEM MY INFORMATION. I'M CURIOUS TO HOW MY TRUCK JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO N OR D. IF IT WAS IN N, MY TRUCK WOULD HAVE MOVED WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK, AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN A MUCH SHORTER AMOUNT OF TIME TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW ME WALK INTO THE RESTAURANT AND MY TRUCK WASN'T MOVING.

VEHICLE WAS POINTED DOWNHILL ON A CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED WHICH WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1200 POUNDS.

PUT TRUCK IN PARK. LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING. GOT OUT WENT INTO SHOP CAME BACK OUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER AND TRUCK HAD ROLLED BACKWARDS AND STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR THE GEAR SELECTOR SAID IT WAS IN REVERSE.

IN SLOWING DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 2-3MPH THE TRANSMISSION "JUMPS" BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. IT MATTERS NOT IF THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK. ALSO, MIMICS THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK COMING FORWARD TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. ALSO, WHEN CHANGING GEARS FROM A HIGHER SPEED TO LOW OR LOW TO HIGH, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET "DUMB" AND NOT KNOW WHICH GEAR IT NEEDS TO BE IN. AFTER THE FEW SECONDS OF "CONFUSION" IT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF AND GO TO THE GEAR IT NEEDS TO BE IN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MAY OF 2016. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.
