It sounds like RAM has been trying to down play the problem and cover it up. Checking the RAM forums this if wife does with thousands of veggies waiting for me transmission. RAM continues to build new trucks, rather than divert transmissions from the factory to replace failed transmission that are in the dealer repair centers.

Sudden loss of all forward movement. Occurred without warning. I was towing a 40 foot camper on a very busy highway. This has been discussed on forums relating to vehicles with the AISIN transmission. The problem appears to be an internal component breakage in the transmission. The only message that appeared is the 4 wheel drive was inoperative. I was fortunate and was able to maneuver to the side of the highway.

I was pulling into a parking lot when my transmission failed and was only able to go in reverse. This was from a main road and the truck went from drivable to undriveable with no prior notice or issue. The truck was towed by Ram Roadside assistance to the nearest Ram dealer and the dealer confirmed that the transmission failed. They removed the transmission and diagnosed the issue as follows: The K1 clutch snap ring has failed. The part is on national backorder and your vehicle is #361 on the list of applicable trucks with a similar issue. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the transmission failure.

Transmission quit working without notice and left me stranded in the roadway with my children in the vehicle. The dealership will not replace with a new transmission because of problems with the new same transmission, instead requesting to rebuild with some updated parts. As far as I know the dealership is the only place to check the issue. Check engine light illuminated only once the transmission stopped working.

Transmission failed at stop light, No power to move forward for 1-2 minutes, when it moved it was jerky and erratic. Drove approximately 1 mile to RAM dealership for diagnostic and service. After it was parked it would no longer drive forward.

The K1 clutch snap ring failed causing a sudden loss of all forward motion while towing. Vehicle is currently at dealership service center. The loss of all forward motion caused a breakdown while towing, placing me and my family at risk while stranded and blocking road. With the vehicle (and towed fifth wheel) blocking the road, it also put other drivers at risk of crash. The problem has been reproduced and confirmed by dealer. The component has not been inspected to my knowledge. Several seconds before the losing forward motion I saw the MIL lamp come on along with message of "4 wheel drive not available". It also dropped me out of tow/haul mode, I believe.

K1 snap ring failure at 2,950 miles. Vehicle currently in dealer possession. Available for inspection. Safety risk as vehicle was towing during failure causing loss of forward gears, and potential loss of control of vehicle being towed. Especially hazardous to other unsuspecting motorists around vehicle when loss of forward gears happened traveling on highway. Dealer has completed diagnostic. States clutch and other components were destroyed at time of failure. Vehicle has not gone under any inspection other than dealer. No prior warnings, or symptoms to indicate such a failure was to occur.
