2019 ram with 13,000 miles. After my first engine oil change at 10,000 miles conducted by the ram dealership. During normal driving conditions in the street and in the highway while in motion i feel the transmission slipping, like it takes a couple of seconds to fully engage. The truck is new and is happening daily. I feel that this is a manufacture defect that needs to be remedied immediately.

I feel a knocking sensation either when i apply the brakes or gas after driving the vehicle. In my opinion, it feels like either the transmission or drive shaft are slipping. This happens almost every time i drive the vehicle in the city and usually when stopping at a red light or sign.

I had just finished pumping gas and turned on my truck and shifted from park to drive. When i did this, nothing happened. I thought maybe i didn't turn the truck on so i pressed the push start button and turned off. Turned it on again and shifted from p to d and still nothing. Still in d i very lightly pressed the gas pedal and the truck jolted forward. This happened to me on two separate occasions. I'm not a…

On a brand new 2019 dodge ram 1500 with less than 200 miles on it, when shifting from park to drive, with the truck stationary, the transmission does not engage right away, but suddenly engages at 1,000 or higher rpm and rapidly lunges forward. This is an electronic shift transmission so it appears that despite the vehicle shift indicators both showing the truck is in "drive" and ready to move forward, it is not…

Vehicle occasionally sticks in park when you put it in drive. It releases when the rpms raise enough to overpower what is hanging. This causes the vehicle to lunge forward once whatever is hanging it is overpowered by the input rpm's, the natural response when you put it in drive is to hit the gas. If you are not expecting this to happen, you can imagine the potential result. At least one person (many have had this…

When i try to put my new truck in gear (stationary) the transmission seems not to slide into drive and the truck just sits there. I've checked the brakes and al the digital stuff and nothing is holding the truck back, it's just not clicking into gear. Then, when i apply a little pressure to the accelerator, the engine revs up a bit and the truck lurches into gear. Sometimes, it's hard to know when the surge/lurch is…

2019 ram laramie gear selector will show drive and not move until the rpm is @ 2000 and then slam into gear. This was after backing into a parking spot and then immediately going into drive to reposition the truck. This has happened twice. Once an hour after purchase and once the next day. I bought this vehicle 3 days ago, 3/29/19.

The transmission failed while i was driving. The vehicle coasted to a stop and became immobile. I could not get the transmission to shift into neutral and i was left in an unsafe situation as my vehicle was blocking the road. The police and others arrived but nobody could move the truck until the tow truck arrived.

While driving down a curvy rural road, my vehicle lost all throttle control. I almost wrecked and had to stop at the "exit" of a blind 55mph corner. The vehicle had multiple check engine lights on including a electromic throttle control failure light, park brake failure light, trailer brake failure light (no trailer connected at the time), and a generic check engine light.

Occasionally, when the vehicle is started and shifted from park to drive, the transmission will not engage and the vehicle will not move forward. Shifting back to park and then drive again does not resolve the issue. If the gas pedal is pressed when the vehicle is in drive, the vehicle will suddenly drop into gear and the car will dangerously surge forward. This has happened 5 times so far on a vehicle with only 500…

I lifted my foot off the accelerator and let the truck slow down, it was still in first gear, almost came to a full stop,…
