Might want to think about trading in the RAM for a f150.

(RNN) - Nearly 1.8 million Dodge Ram trucks are being recalled due to a shifting problem. The issue rises from an electrical overheating problem, and could cause the trucks to roll away on their own while in park, the company announced. The recall covers Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups from 2010 through 2017, chassis cab Ram 2500, 3500 and 4500 models from 2001 to 2017 and some Ram 1500 models from 2009 to 2017. Trucks manufactured in 2017, even though they may be of the model year, are not part of the recall.

Fiat-Chrysler, Dodge's parent company, said it is aware of seven injuries and a few crashes that are a result of the problem. A fix is being prepared and anyone who owns one of the affected vehicles is asked to used their parking brake at all times until the problem can be repaired. Owners of the vehicles will be notified by Chrysler-Fiat. A previous recall was issued for an unrelated problem in September over a fire hazard.

I just traded mine in last weekend. 9 years 135k and never had a major issue with it. Before that I had one for 6 years and pretty much the same thing.

I got something different this time just because I got tired of driving the same thing.

Almost all brands have recalls. The current model F150 has one where the door will come open randomly while you are driving and they don't have a fix for it yet

So Dodge issued a recall for vehicles not even in their division of FCA? I'll never understand why people (especially journalists) cannot seem to grasp that Ram broke off into its own autonomous division years ago.

Yes I drive a Ram 1500 Ecodiesel, and it has been light years better than my last truck, which was (gasp!) a Toyota.

At least they acknowledge their mistake and are fixing it. Unlike Chevy/GMC with the lifters, door locks, speakers, cracked dash etc.

You had me until this. Dodge had like a whole generation of ram 1500 where the dash just like fell apart. It's almost as famous and the chevy/GMC tailgate handle.

It's only column shifters. No rotary shifts.

I really wish these were Chevy trucks, so I could shove all 95 JD Power Awards up Potch Boyd’s arse.

Got to say I am well satisfied with my 2015 EcoDiesel. Had it for almost 3 yrs. now and been awesome.

I have 66k miles on my Ecodiesel and it's been awesome. I do have concerns once the 100k warranty runs out however. I'll probably end up trading it in for a Hemi.

Ram needed the movie Twister to get the model off the showroom floor.
