2022 Ram 5500 Complaints

Driving down freeway lost all momentum had to coast to the shoulder almost causing several accidents and getting hit by a semi in the process. The truck had no gears whatsoever and gave me on warning something was as it risk for failing. Was told the entire transmission had failed. This was the second transmission ram had put in. The problem is becoming wide spread across the internet as multiple owners are now reporting with no known fix currently. Please note that the file below is the first repair which did nothing but almost cause another accident when it happened again

My transmission went out completely without warning while driving on the expressway was able to glide it to right shoulder thank goodness my truck only has 161 miles that’s one hundred and sixty one miles and was recently bought as I’m doing research I’m starting to find out I’m not the only one these trucks are dangerous specially, when you’re on the expressway these transmissions go out without warning I could’ve got hit by other vehicles in the middle of the expressway. I got lucky. Thank God there wasn’t a lot of traffic due to a snowstorm coming.

On the evening of 1/06/2022 I was traveling in heavy traffic going east on I-70 approaching mile marker 234 coming down a large mountain grade when i realized my transmission disengage. I was able to exit interstate and come to a stop I checked and found had no forward gears in transmission only had reverse gear. When I had secured a towing company ( which ram could not secure ) towing guy informed me that he has towed 2 to 3 of these vehicles every week for past six months with same issues. I very much feel this is a big safety issue especially when your descending down a large mountain grade the transmission may not give you the gears to safely handle the mountain grade your traveling on, causing a catastrophic accident.
