TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2015 RAM 1500 BIG HORN CREW CAB WITH 8 SPEED (8HP70) TRANSMISSION. THE TRUCK INTERMITENTLY ISSUES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GOES AWAY A FEW TIMES THROUGH OUT THE DAY AND OR WILL STAY OFF. OBDII CODE P1D8C IS STORED CURRENTLY IN THE CAR. THIS IS THE CODE THAT SAYS (PARKING PRAWL SELONOID IN OPEN POSITION) THIS IS CLOSE IF NOT THE SAME ISSUE IN 8HP70 TRANSMISSION IN OTHER VEHICLES OF OTHER YEARS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ONE DAY I WOULDN'T KNOW IF THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY IN PARK MECHANICALLY OR NOT. CURRENTLY I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR MY CURRENT YEAR MODEL TRUCK BUT BRINGING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS THERE ARE SAME OR SIMILAR RECALLS FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN OTHER MODELS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON WHEN IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN PARKED, SOMETIMES IT'LL GO AWAY BOTH WHILE MOVING OR PARKED.

MY RADIO SCREEN WENT BLACK WHERE YOU COULD SEE NOTHING ON IT NO MATTER WHAT CONTROLLERS YOU TRIED TO SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST ON EVERY TRIP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT ON WAS TO PULL OVER AND LET THE VEHICLE STAND FOR A LITTLE BIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, THEN IT WOULD TURN BACK ON. BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE RADIO SECURITY RECALL. GOT THE RADIO SOFTWARE UPDATED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. THE RADIO SCREEN LIGHT STARTED DIMMING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THEN GETTING BRIGHTER. OFF AND ON, NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY AND HOW DARK OR BRIGHT IT IS OUTSIDE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY TOLD ME IT DOES THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS. WONDER WHY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THE RENTAL TRUCK THAT THEY HAD ME DRIVE WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP?? ANOTHER ISSUE I HAD WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FOR A FULL DAY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT GET ANY SIGNAL OR A MALFUNCTION CODE. AT THE END OF THE DAY IN TURNED OFF.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2015 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL GAS PEDAL GETTING STUCK. FIRST TIME WAS ON 7/07/17. I WANTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON A STOP SIGN. AS I TOUCHED THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT, IT SUNK TO THE BOTTOM AND THE TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING LIKE CRAZY, THE TIRES SQUEAKED AND THE TRUCK TILTED TO THE LEFT. THE RMP WENT UP TO 3 AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT MESSAGE LIT UP. I THOUGHT WE WOULD FLIP OR CRASH INTO SOMETHING BUT LUCKILY I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK UNDER CONTROL AND ENDED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AS THE PEDAL STAYED IN THE SINKING POSITION. HAD MY FOUR CHILDREN WITH ME IN THE TRUCK, THEY ALL STARTED CRYING HYSTERICALLY AND KEPT ASKING, "MOM WHAT IS GOING ON WITH OUR TRUCK?" ABOUT 3 MIN. LATER IT WAS RELEASED. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR REPLACED. THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATED ON 7/16/17. THIS TIME ON A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH. BROUGHT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WAS ASKED TO TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. ARE THEY SERIOUS? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND ARE SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE? SAME ISSUE ON 8/15/17 AS WE CAME OUT OF A DRIVEWAY UNTO A WINDY ROAD AT ABOUT 15MPH. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED LIKE CRAZY ALMOST CAUSING US TO HIT THE GUARDRAIL ON THE SIDE. GOOD THING THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WE MANAGED TO STOP THE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP BUT I AM SCARED FOR MY LIFE TO DRIVE IN IT. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I COME AND DRIVE IT WITH A TECH. HOPING IT WOULD DUPLICATE. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIFIC THAT CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN. IT JUST HAPPENS OUT OF NOWHERE, NO SPECIFIC SPEED, PLACE OR TIME. I JUST WANT A SAFE CAR FOR MY FAMILY. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN THAT DRIVE WITH ME EVERY DAY, CAN'T RISK THEIR LIVES.
