Our company leased this vehicle from mid county Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on 12/16/2015 as part of an eight vehicle fleet. On 10/5/2016, the vehicle operator placed the vehicle in park and exited the vehicle. The vehicle began to roll forwards without a driver in the vehicle. Two of our client's employees noticed the vehicle moving and were able to jump in to the vehicle to stop it. When one of our client's employees attempted to place the vehicle in park, he noticed that the transmission indicator was already in a parked position. He then applied the emergency break. Without the intervention of our client's employees, the vehicle would have crashed in to a high-traffic exterior stairwell on our client's property. A comprehensive incident report is attached to this complaint. For privacy purposes, we have redacted information directly pertaining to our client. Our client' S employees are referred to by their last names only. The vehicle has been taken out of service and towed to mid county Chrysler for repairs. While this is the only time this vehicle has had a transmission issue, another 2016 Ram 1500 had a similar transmission malfunction on 8/22/2016. This seems to be a consistent malfunction in this model.

Our company leased this vehicle from mid county Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on 12/16/15 as part of an eight vehicle fleet. On 8/22/2016, the vehicle operator found that the battery was malfunctioning. Additionally, the transmission was slipping from 1st to 2nd. The vehicle was towed to the mid county dealership for repairs. Mechanics found that the battery had failed and replaced it. The mechanics also found defects in the transmission system, but were unable to repair it. The mechanics then proceeded to replace the entire transmission system. The vehicle was released to us on 9/7/2016. While this is a single incident for this vehicle, it is important to note that our fleet consists entirely of Ram 1500, with seven being 2016 models and one 2015 model. Battery failure and transmission failure has been pervasive throughout our entire fleet.

When the vehicle is warm, after about 1/2 hour of driving, the transmission starts to drive rough. When I come to a stop it feels like someone hits me from the rear. When I'm driving around 35 mph and slow down it down shifts hard (clunk). When I'm driving at speed on the highway and I go to pass, when it press on the gas pedal there is a long hesitation and then it bogs down then accelerates. It's scary my wife gets nervous when she's driving. The longer you drive it the worse it gets. I have 9,500 miles on it. After driving it on the highway and you exit to the streets the gas pedal has a lot of play in it-about 1.5 inches from when you press on the pedal to when it kicks in and then the response is a bit jerky. I brought to the dealership on 9/26/2016 and they said they couldn't replicate the issue. I explained that they needed to drive the truck for a while. When the truck is cold it's ok, no issues. Iv'E talked to my local mechanic who has 40 plus years working on cars and he told me that he's heard the same complaint from other Ram truck owners. He told me to register the complaint...thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
