Twice now the truck has acted like the gas pedal was stuck down even though it was fully released. The first time I was parking in my carport, I had just put the truck into park, and the rear tires started spinning and spitting rocks. I had to shut the truck off to get it to stop. If I hadn't had the brakes on to stop initially I would have went through the wall in my carport. Took the truck to the dealership, they said there was a recall on the floor mats, they replaced those, and sent me on my way saying that was the problem. The second incident was a week later while approaching red light at a downhill intersection I applied the brakes, but the truck continued to accelerate aggressively. The rear of the vehicle started to slide back and forth from the force of the tires spinning. I was going to hit the vehicle in front of me, so I had to forcefully put the truck from drive straight into park and turn the engine off. I had to flatbed the truck back to the dealership due to safety concerns, they kept if for seven days, and when I went back they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They said perhaps it's driver error and wouldn't say much else, and they won't do anything about it because they couldn't get the truck to replicate what happened to me. The paperwork they gave me shows that only drove the vehicle one mile at best.

On 07-20-22 I was driving home from work in the evening around 5:45 pm, out of nothing, i noticed my temp gauge starting to rise. It rose up to alarm level (overheating). I slowed down and pulled over, and noticed the temp gauge starting to drop down to below overheating but still above normal. Note: I live 4.7 mile away from work and the highest speed limit on my way home is 55mph. I limped slowly with the truck while paying attention to the temp gauge until i pulled up in my drive way. When I opened the door of the truck, i was hit by a huge cloud of white smoke coming from underneath the truck. I shut off the truck and moved away quickly. I noticed a reddish fluid coming from underneath the truck. I could not tell what it was at the beginning but it was oily. Later on I realized it was transmission fluid mixed coolant. Note: transmission fluid is flammable. Due to distance of 4.7 miles distance to my house the truck (exhaust) had not warmed up enough to ignite the transmission fluid. It was later identified by Mike Shaw dealership in Greeley CO, that the heat exchanger (from the radiator) on the transmission body had failed and transmission fluid and coolant mixed rendering the whole transmission void. I was lucky i drive a short distance otherwise the truck would have caught on fire. The truck was towed from my drive to the dealership by my insurance. I am raising the concern because i saw a report by a 2019 Ram owner on your website who had the same experience and unlucky to him, his truck caught fire and burnt down. See January 5, 2022 report NHTSA NUMBER 114446344. I bought the truck brand new on January 1, 2019 in Greeley CO. I am the only owner and driven mostly home to work and occasional trip, very minimal towing averaging twice a year. My truck has little over 70k mile on it. Today, over a month after the incidence i am still waiting to receive the truck from FCA/Dealership back. I was promised to have it back over a week ago. And, cost is going up.

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated while making a left turn, the warning message illuminated on the instrument panel stating to " Place vehicle in Park and place it back into Driver" and placed itself into neutral. The contact shifted the vehicle to park and shifted it back to the drive position and the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis, and they replaced the shifter assembly, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and they stated that PCM and TCM were updated, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 76,000.

Service shifter message locks the vehicle in park. This can be life threatening if in a remote area or other area when a movement of the vehicle is required for safety

Transmission falling out of gear when transmission fluid temperature under 100 degrees, error message "Shift to P then to desired gear" on dash when slowing to a stop, puts vehicle in neutral and the driver must shift the vehicle into park then put it back in drive to continue. The vehicle can be inspected upon request. This fault is has put me in danger multiple times a day, more notably when slowing to a stop at a red light, the vehicle was still at 12 MPH on the brakes, the light turned green and I had to pull over or get rear ended. The problem has been replicated multiple times by the technicians at my local CJDR dealer, and with live diagnostics the vehicle produced no error codes. I have contacted Ram Cares and they have said they would elevate it to a STARs case but my service advisor said it would be a drawn out process and said I should just get rid of it if I can make my money back. The vehicle has not been inspected by someone employed directly by Stellantis. The problems first appeared a week and a half after I purchased it.

I was driving my truck home and while approaching a stop sign I proceed to apply the brakes, my vehicle drop out of drive, the D on my shift knob began flashing and a message was displayed on the panel that stated " select the P (park) and then desired gear". I looked online to see if I was the only person having this issue and it turns out that this issue is all over the forums. I considered this to be potentially dangerous issue since this could also happen in traffic. I contacted the dealership and they stated that there was no recall notice for such an issue. They stated that they were backed up with service issues and could not look at my truck for weeks. I think RAM (FCA) should look into this issue asap.

When I come to a sudden or slow stop either coming to a stop sign or going around a corner or traffic jam on the highway, my truck will sometimes surge and accelerate suddnly before coming to a complete stop. When that doesnt happen the truck will just drop into nuetral and the cluster will display " please shift to park then select desired gear". Its not just annoying but a safety issue since ive almost been rear ended twice and almost t-boned while my wife and 8 year old daughter were in the car with me. I cant moved till i stop the vehicle to put it in park and then back in drive everytime it does it. Its been happening ever since 25k miles and im at 52k miles. Ive take. It to the dealer twice and they daid they couldnt replicate the problem so they couldnt do anything. Then no dealer near me does courtesy vehicles except one 50 minute away from me but they only have two courtesy trucks and they are always out and have no idea when they will get them back and i work out of my truck so i need a truck so i can never schedule an appointment to take my truck in for anything including this issue. I just want my brand new truck to work that im paying $600 month for. I dont wanna trade it in and get stuck on a new loan and more money out of my pocket. This is the most aggravating experiance of my life and no way to reconcile the issue in site. Please help.

Just left my house. Came up to the second stop light, about 4 blocks away from my house, slowed down to stop for the red light when the truck just shuts off. The lights came on in the information center and stated to put the truck in park and restart the truck. There was a red lightning bolt displayed in the info center as well. This is about the 5th time the truck has done this, just stalling and shutting off for no reason. Seems to only do this within 5 minutes of starting the truck after it has been parked for hours.

While I am driving my Rebel the transmission pops out of the driving gear while driving which makes me have no power when on the road. I have to come to a complete stop and put my truck into park and then back into drive before I can take off. Every time this has happened I have almost got hit by other cars with my family in the truck with me. Chrysler customer service rep hung up on me today and said there is nothing they can do about it. My dealer told me they can-??t duplicate the problem so come pick up your truck. Not sure what to do, but I know I-??m scared for anyone to drive this truck because it can be deadly. DCH Dodge of Temecula Ca sold me this truck I hope they can fix this problem for me. Chrysler has been useless they obviously don-??t care about there customers lives. This is my 2nd transmission with only 35k miles on my truck

While driving the truck it will randomly put itself in neutral and the dash will indicate it must shift to P then desired gear and the Gear selector will be blinking D which can only be done by stopping the truck completely. My dealer is unable to duplicate the issue. It has happened 4 times since i, ve owned it new. I have video of it doing it. I see others having the same issue on youtube and on ram forums if you google ram truck must shift to p to select gear. Imagine trying to cross lanes or merge with traffic and have your truck randomly go into neutral.

On 06-06-2021 my wife, daughter and Me and our three dogs, was heading to are first destination on are 2 week vacation pulling are camper. In about 150 miles into the trip started smelling diesel, pulled over on a narrow 2 lane road couldn-??t see anything. So my wife found a road we could pull off on to check everything out a mile away, right before we made it to the road a (service electronic throttle) message came on, so made it to the road to pull off stoped and instantly smoke started bellowing out from the back of the hood. I hopped out and started feeling something burning my legs looked down and saw liquid aluminum dripping and yelled from everyone to get out, by to time we got everyone out the whole front of the truck way fully on the so I got what I could get out and my wife was on the phone with 911. Knowing that the fire department is 20 minutes out I needed to save the camper. Fire is past the fire wall now, pull the panel for the emergency release to put the transmission in neutral one of the airbags blew up in my face and couldn-??t get it out of park. So somehow I shook the truck and camper enough to get the pin out of the hitch and somehow someone drove by and asked them could they help me pull the camper away, and we hooked a chain and pulled it away. 24 minutes later the fire department arrived and everything I saved from the truck was in the grass and burned up to hot to get close to get. So 24 minutes of hell was just starting legs, hand burned and contacts burned can-??t see well and back thumping. Calling everyone like Ram, insurance company no one will help. So the volunteer fire department pulled are camper to their fire station and stayed the night there until are family could pull us back home. Then the nightmare of dealing with the scummy progressive fight for almost 3 months that would not pay market value the time of the incident and somehow took over my claim I had. I have videos and pictures of the fire.

Upon braking and downshifting, transmission occasionally erroneously falls out of gear without user input. The "D" indicator around the shift knob and in the instrument panel display will blink. The instrument panel will also display the message "Shift to P then Desired Gear". A drop in engine RPM can be observed before the erroneous shift. The engine remains running and the transmission remains in a neutral state at this time. This can be dangerous when it occurs upon braking for a railroad crossing or yield and merge situation in which I cannot accelerate into traffic or away from an oncoming train. The transmission can be re-engaged only after shifting to P then back to D.

Rear Differential began to grind and make noise. Dealer stated could cause failure and lead to crash if not repaired/replaced. Full diagnosis not complete as of this date.

At low speed usually coming to a stop truck shifts to natural dash indicates to "shift to park" once shifting to park and back to drive truck moves normally. The truck has had this happened numerous times. I reached out to ram care and they advised me to have it scanned at a service dealer. I had the vehicle scanned and no issues were reported. Since then the truck had switched gears at low speed to natural and shift to park. This is dangerous and safety is one of the feature of this vehicle and this can cause many issues to safety to myself or other drivers.

I purchased my truck new in Nov 2019. Since then I have had four different occasions where my truck has stalled while driving at low speed or while shifting from drive to reverse. Two of the occasions I was pulling away from a stop and the truck stalled and I was stuck in the middle of the intersection until I put the truck in park and restarted. Luckily there was no cross traffic so there was no danger in this situation but it could have been much worse. The last occasion happened a couple weeks ago when I was moving my truck in my driveway. I shifted to drive and pulled forward then put my truck in reverse. As I put my truck in reverse it immediately stalled. I put it in park and was able to immediately restart it. However, it did have a check engine light on. The next morning I was going to take the truck to the dealer to have the light checked but it had cleared itself and there are no codes stored so the dealer can't do anything.

The vehicle has a tendency to hesitate when accelerating from a stop. It is as if the engine is stalling and then recovers. It occurs primarily when the engine is cold but has also happened when warmed up This is a safety hazard because it could leave the vehicle subject to collision form approaching traffic.

Check engine light once for the ALTERNATOR and had to have it towed and replaced with only 37,000 miles on it and took two months to get part and repaired after just buying the truck. Now check engine light came on and it-??s the code U11E9 which has to deal with the shutters in the front of the truck
