2018 RAM PROMASTER Power Train Problems

I was Driving down the highway at 45-50 mph when the truck suddenly the engine started to rev very high approximately 5000-5500 rpm and the truck lost all Drive gears. I immediately put it in neutral and tried again to put it in drive and nothing happened. I immediately pulled over to the shoulder and shut the truck off. I waited and restarted the truck but the truck did not have any movement in any gear. I had to get it Towed to a local shop.

IT WAS HOT AND WANTED THE VAN TO COOL OFF IN AUGUST IN EL DORADO HILLS, CA. THE VAN WHICH WAS POINTING DOWNHILL TOWARDS OUR BACKYARD AND I WAS IN THE HOUSE AND BACK OUT IN 30 SECONDS AND THE VAN MOVED ON ITSELF DOWN THE HILL, THROUGH THE BACKYARD INTO MY NEIGHBORS PROPERTY INTO A OAK TREE. WHEN I GOT DOWN WITH MY NEIGHBOR, A RETIRED POLICEMEN, VERIFIED IT WAS STILL IN PARK. THIS WAS A TOTAL LOSS FOR US AND NEED DODGE TO RESPOND ON HELPING US RECOVER OUR LOSSES.
