2022 RAM 3500 Problems & Complaints

While driving on interstate leaving a construction zone started to accelerate to maybe 40mph and heard/felt a hard clang and lost all forward motion costed to side of interstate. Looked underneath truck, nothing visible broken or leaking. Restarted truck tried to move forward with no luck. Reverse worked, put back in drive loud noise again stomped on the accelerator and started moving forward very slow and difficult. Made it to an exit to look at things in a safer location than the busy interstate. Figured out that I had reverse and 5th gear so it was very hard/ slow to get moving. Check engine light on, gear ration incorrect, code P0731, Tran sensor failure, no 4x4 Transmission failure 1-4 gears not working

The transmission in my vehicle failed suddenly on May 31, 2025, entering “limp mode” and losing the ability to shift properly. The vehicle became immobile and was towed to the dealership. Initial diagnostics revealed difficulty shifting between 3rd and 4th gears. Service technicians attempted repair in June based on RAM TSB MC-10231775, which indicated snap ring failure in the Aisin transmission. Repairs prescribed in TSB were attempted but unsuccessful, as the vehicle still could not shift into 4th gear. Additional parts were ordered, and another repair was unsuccessfully attempted in late June. Ram has shipped a new transmission which we are waiting on the dealership to install.

Transmission failure while driving not allowing to go in park after we got stopped. Truck un operable to get out of traffic.

Transmission failed in heavy interstate traffic while towing 35 ft 15,000 lbs RV. My RAM 3500 only has 19,000 miles and is still under new vehicle warranty. The event: While travelling on Washington DC beltway in lane 3 of 4 without warning my transmission starting slipping. No abnormal noise, no dash lamps warning of an issue. As I pressed on accelerator my speed continued to decrease. I quickly signaled to right lane in an attempt to get off the road. I was slowing at a rate I was concerned I may be stopped on highway with vehicles traveling 55 mph approaching. I did make the shoulder in between an exit and entrance ramp with barely enough room for a tow truck to be in front. I had 3 ft on my left with 55mph traffic passing constantly. The vehicle was towed to a local RAM dealer as my wife and I waited on the highway with RV for second tow service. This all could have been avoided. Why was a TSB or recall already in place? RAM has many transmission failures on the 2022 Aisin transmission noted on RAM truck forums. I had read about it but considered myself lucky as I was almost 2 years driving truck without any problems. My safety, my wife and tow truck drivers safety were put at considerable risk due to Stellantis not alerting RAM dealers of a potential transmission failure. Research Noah Leotta Police Officer Montgomery County Maryland. The circumstances we experienced were exactly how he lost his life. I have not received work ticket from dealership, I will follow up with documentation when requested.

22 Ram 3500 Cummins diesel with Aisin transmission. Transmission output shaft seal leaking in between transmission and transfer case.

The UCONNECT digital center display occasionally goes completely dark or shuts off. Sometimes displays an error message like "uconnect box requires service". This display is essential for managing everything from air conditioning to music and navigation. When the windshield fogs up and you need to adjust airflow while driving for visibility, this malfunction can be distracting and pose a safety hazard. Additionally, the rear backup camera fails to function when the screen is blank, which is particularly concerning in this long-bed truck when reversing in parking lots. This issue has been presented to the dealer, and the vehicle has been dropped off for service. Initially, the problems were minor, such as difficulties with CarPlay connectivity and the screen rebooting, but I could not replicate the issue. However, it has since escalated, occurring with every trip, and the dealer is now able to observe the problem firsthand.

Emissions system is performing DPF filter regeneration every 100-150 miles.

When in reverse in dark conditions rear camera view is "white washed" making visibility impossible.

The transmission failed while driving in a remote area 600 mi from home. Check engine light came on. Truck was in the shop for over 50 days. The truck had less than 3,000 miles on it when the transmission failed.

My 2022 Ram 3500 Limited Longhorn Dually truck has had the transmission fail at 5300 miles. Was stranded along with my 5th wheel trailer and transmission only works in reverse. This is a well know problem with hundreds if not thousands of failures with the Aisin Transmission. Ram has issued a service bulletin 21-002-23, Snap Ring K-1 Failure in January 2023, but this needs to be a safety recall due to on Highway instances of vehicles being stuck on the highway with truck unable to move and will cause accidents. Owners are waiting months for repairs. These trucks are being sold to the public knowing there is a potential problem for trucks produced in 2022 with the Aisin Transmission.

Trailer brake controler will report not connected when it is connected correctly. Systemm was tested and everything on the trailer is working properly. system was working corretly and suddenly stopped when on the interstate. Have had multiple shops look at the issue and no one can locate the issue. The radio/infotanment system will also disconnect radomly. Both act like a wire is lose. disconnect then reconnect and disconnect and reconnect, over and over. The radio disconnecting from the phone is an issue however not a safety concern like the trailer brake issue is. When I am pulling a 16,000 pound camper and the trailer brake stops that means I no longer have traler brakes and that can be an issue when stopping.

Intermittent fault causing ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, cruise control, to disable while driving.

Intermittent abs and traction control alarm. Very random and can come on without notice. Similar issue to the recall issued in September for the 1500 ram.

Started getting an alarm for abs and traction control alarm with 15000 miles, it would come and go every few thousand miles. Truck now has 44000 miles and the alarm has appeared twice in the past 4000 miles. This almost caused an accident as it disables the abs at any given time. The dealer says it is the Hydraulic Control Unit.

My pm sensors or particulate matter system malfunction and failed which lead to emissions issues and created my vehicle to drive in limp mode. Limp mode basically slowed downs the vehicle is slow as 5 mph as soon as this light displays at any time while driving on the highway. This put my safety in danger and the public as I transport what dot considers a type hazardous material. The sudden loss of power in the middle of the road has made vehicles around me extremely vulnerable to fatal collisions. I took my vehicle to the dealership where they confirmed this malfunction and problem with my vehicle but no recall has been issued as of yet no warning lamps appeared prior to the failure.

The engine stopped while driving with no warning and provided no opportunity to exit the travel lane of the road. No warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard and all gauges appeared normal leading up to the event. This event is extremely frustrating, but I am thankful that it didn't happen on the interstate as there is no telling what the outcome may have been......... Leading up to the event, I had been driving on the interstate around 70mph for about 180 miles since the last restart. I exited the interstate and made it about 3/4 miles on a secondary road and the engine died without warning and the truck came to a quick stop in the lane of travel. No abnormal sounds were observed, just a sudden unwelcome deacceleration that did not provide enough time to exit the lane of travel. It was like stepping on the brakes. I attempted to restart the truck and the starter would not crank the engine and briefly pulled enough voltage to kill all the electronics. I attempted starting it again with a jump box attached and met the same result. The computers freaking out from the low voltage during the starting attempts wouldn't allow me to put the truck in neutral to move it out of the lane of travel. A police officer called for the tow truck on rotation since I was stuck in a live travel lane. The truck was towed to the Dealer on 8/19/2024 after the service department had closed and still would not turn over when removed from the tow truck. There were no signs of any fluids leaking from the truck after the event........ The next day the Service Advisor called and advised there were only 3 codes stored related to low voltage. Truck is waiting for a tech to become available to further investigate.

The dealer and manufacture have not been able to fix emissions issue. It has cause severe fuel saturation in oil and has cause severe motor damage. No one cares and they brush it off as no big deal.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Sensor never installed, digital gauge has never read anything but 0%. This can cause issues with regeneration of the DPF that will result in Limp mode.

My 2022 RAM 3500 has repeated failures of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) system. The truck enters limp mode unexpectedly, including while towing on the interstate, creating a serious safety hazard due to sudden loss of power. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced ongoing issues with the emissions system, specifically related to the DPF. The check engine light comes on frequently, and diagnostic scans consistently show code P2459 (Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency Too High). The DPF system has been replaced approximately five times by authorized RAM dealer. Despite these repairs, the same problem continues to occur. The truck will sometimes enter limp mode without warning, drastically reducing engine power. This has happened while towing a camper on the interstate, making it difficult or impossible to maintain safe highway speeds or accelerate when needed. This puts me, my passengers, and other motorists at risk of a crash, particularly when merging or changing lanes in fast-moving traffic. I have already pursued and settled a claim with Stellantis (RAM’s manufacturer) for $10k due to these issues. However, the problem persists, and the root cause has not been resolved. Accepting the settlement was recommended by legal counsel. The failure has occurred on multiple occasions (at least five separate incidents). The vehicle has undergone several service visits and emissions system replacements, but the safety issue continues. Current mileage 42,000. Dates of incidents from most recent: 6/25 (still in shop), 3/25, 9/24, 8/24,7/24,6/24,4/24,1/24,7/23,6/23,11/22. Documentation available upon request. Diesel particulate filter (DPF) system replaced approximately five times. I believe there is a defect in the design or operation of the emissions system that poses a safety risk. Loss of power while driving at highway speeds or towing creates a dangerous situation. I am reporting this in hopes that NHTSA will investigate this recurring issue.

The Deisel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), SUPPLY LINE (part #57008975AA) has been replaced on my truck 4 times in 113 k miles. It now needs replaced again. The last 2 times were less than 5000 miles each. It is a plastic line that runs from the DEF tank and passes nearby the exhaust filter which is very hot. A RAM dealer in Georgia told me they have sold/replaced many of these lines. When cracked, they leak DEF in large volumes on the ground which then becomes contaminated.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. I KNOW THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE. TRUCK IS DOWN AND IT WILL COST TO MUCH TO REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM

Transmission K1 snap ring failure. Left me stranded on busy road unable to move truck.Dealer has diagnost it. No warnings, just failed.

Lifter tick issue on 2019 to 2024 ram 6.7 engines ....lifters failing casuing excessive wear on valve train known issue major costly repair

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while at a stop light, the vehicle would not accelerate, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact was informed that the hub one assembly kit and snap ring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contact but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 200,119.

DEF warning: see dealer. 125 miles until 5mph max speed. Happened 250 miles to nearest dealer during winter storm in SD and NE. Stranded at night, in storm, in freezing conditions, without available help. This is a potentially fatal situation due to failure of new vehicle despite preparation per vehicle manual. DEF tank 2/3 full, DPF gauge at 0. Eventually towed 135 miles to dealer to have DEF code reset. This is dangerous and very common.

Backup camera is unusable do to the brightness on the screen.

when using the automatic rain wipers with automatic headlights activated during the daytime the dash illumination is darken to night time values. Since the dash is digital along with the radio system, it is EXTREMELY difficult to see anything. It requires you take take your eyes off the road for a longer period to time to view any information on the dash or in the navigation/radio. The dash illumination should never darken during the daytime, unless the light value is decreased to what a nightime value would be.

Uconnect 12” Screen Blinds Driver With Full Brightness in Reverse. There is a software issue with the Uconnect 12” screen in RAM trucks. The issue arises in dark unlit areas when the truck is put in reverse, the Uconnect 12” screen is automatically switched to full brightness, resulting in blinding the driver so the side rear view mirrors become useless. There is no way for the driver to override this max brightness when in reverse. The Uconnect 12” screen should maintain its current level of brightness when the driver places the truck in reverse and not default to max brightness. In urban areas this may not be as significant issue as it is in rural areas. Many times, I have had to throw a heavy blanket, jacket, or sweatshirt over the screen so I would not be blinded by its increase to max brightness when putting the truck in reverse. This issue is made significantly worse when trying to back a 30’ trailer in the dark and can no longer see anything from the side view mirrors due to the max brightness of the Uconnect 12” screen blinding me. This is similar to passing a car with their bright lights on, but they sit there until you take the truck out of reverse. This Uconnect 5 12” screen seems to be significantly brighter than the Uconnect 4 screen in my previous vehicle. This is a safety issue as it temporarily blinds the driver when in reverse and has already caused damage to one trailer. The Uconnect 12” should maintain the current level of brightness and not go to max brightness when the truck is put in reverse. Please make this a priority request for the next software release of the Uconnect 12”. Thank you!

Driving on highway 02/24/2025 approximately 07:15 pm EST at 65 mph, vehicle began Diesel DPF automatic regeneration cycle. Strong smell of "burning trash" and fuel vapor entered cabin with windows up. this happens frequently

Emission system failure. Code P2459 Regeneration Frequency. Overheating of the DPF while stuck in regen cycle causes burning smell and diesel fumes in the cabin while driving. Suspected vehicle on fire. Date of incident 01/25/2025. Vehicle at dealership for repair 01/28/2025. Dealership repair unsuccessful following STAR approved process of elimination. Vehicle returned to dealer 02/18/2025 for same issue. Many customers with 2019-2022 diesel engines having same issue. No known fix according to dealership.

Firestone trans force Ht. 275/70R18 These tires came from factory on my Dodge Ram. The truck is around two years old and only with 13,500 miles on it. All four tires are failing and cracking on the side walls. I know earlier models of the same exact tire was recalled for the same issue.

I purchased a FACTORY Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System for my fifth wheel. Factory TTMS system allows up to 5-6 different trailers per vehicle. TTMS allows owner to enter minimum PSI per trailer. The RAM factory system does not work as advertised. I paired wheel sensors to TTMS in vehicle and set minimum PSI to 100. When I shut vehicle off the preset reverts back to factory 50 PSI. Also TTMS recognizes 3 wheel sensors 50% of the time. The other 50% dashboard shows red lines instead of trailer tire pressure. I brought vehicle to dealership after creating a case file with Ram care #87574156. Case file was created due to numerous complaints of Ram HD forum 2019-2022 model years. Ram care notified dealer that no repair authorized without trailer being present. My Ram dealer parking lot is barely large enough for my Ram 3500. I notified Ram care and dealer that the issue was with vehicle software and not trailer sensors. After weeks of inaction from Ram care I was notified that the dealer must remove aftermarket trailer tire pressure monitoring system at my expense (6 hours labor) and only then could they repair system. I attempted to explain that I paid $500 for the FACTORY system but Nikkita from Ram care would not listen. Ram care has my VIN they easily check my vehicle options but their priority was to close case file and hope I would go away quietly. Ran care repeatedly closed my file claiming they couldnt contact me. All but three of my calls went to voicemail. I called Ram care and left messages on the following dates: 10/31/23 1703 hours, 11/3/23 1427 hours, 11/7 1510 hours, 11/24/23 1115 hours, 11/27/23 1255 hours, 11/29/23 0803, 0839 and 1540 hours, 12/4/23 1232 and 1242 hours. A follow up email was sent on 12/4/23 at 1110 hours stating Ram care was closing my case due to unsuccessful attempts to reach me. At 1258 hours on the same date I received an email stating the dealer must remove my aftermarket TTMS (emails attached)

I was driving coming to a stop for a red light and it turns green. As I go to press on the gas my dashboard lights up with error codes stating a 4WD System error of some kind. As I go to press on the gas the truck loses power and acceleration and starts making a horrible clunking noise. I took it to the dealer because it seems like a transmission issue. This is a 2022 Ram 3500 with 9300 miles at time of failure. I would hate to see what happens if I was towing a large load to lose power all of a sudden risking my life and others around me. Based on what I have researched it seems like a K1 Snap Ring issue to the T. Waiting on the "official" diagnosis from the dealer.

Transmission failure while towing a travel trailer on a busy street on a slight incline. While traveling about 45 mph felt a jolt and truck lost power and would not accelerate. Felt like truck was in neutral. Truck would not engage Drive and was completely disabled in the number one lane. Tried to re engage the transmission and had success at engaging a higher gear with slow speed and high RPMs causing the engine and transmission to overheat and possibly start a fire. Safely moved across lanes to shoulder and stopped. The street is 55mph. Cars were slamming on their brakes to avoid colliding into my truck or trailer. This happened on March 30, 2023 and has been at the dealership for repairs since and has not been even inspected yet yet. No indicator or warning lamps prior to failure.

I have tried to get recall fixed they tell me dealershot is only allowed to receive 1part every week they tell me i cant drive my vehicle due to the fire hazard but will not provide me a vehicle i am going on driving vaction with my 2 young children how am i supposed to survive without a vehicle. They have parts asked them to expedite part they told me know. I make all my payments on ths vehicle uncertain why they cant provide me parts or a loaner vehicle thanks rich weber

My truck had around 230 miles on it and I experienced a thumping noise from the engine compartment. The thumping disappears once the truck reaches operating temperature and the EGR valve opens. Dodge claims they have no idea what the cause is. Additionally, there is an electrical draw. I have to jump start my truck every morning. The claim it is the amplifier. I pulled the fuse overnight and still had to jump start the following morning. I’m getting the run around.

The dealer determined that the engine assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the repair could not be covered under warranty due to the mileage on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 112,700.

On 9 September, while driving, I got an emergency dashboard notice that stated Throttle System Malfunction contact dealer. It went out and then another immediately flashed that stated Exhaust System Malfunction contact dealer. The vehicle lost power within seconds after the second notice. I coasted to a stop on the side of the road. Once stopped, smoke quickly started coming out of the engine compartment and then flames. I contacted 911, an engine arrived but the truck was fully engaged and completely burnt.

While driving around 20 mph, suddenly heard a clunk, then several dashboard warning lights came on. Truck suddenly had no torque- would only move forward if the engine was revved at much more than normal amount. Nearly complete loss of ability to accelerate from a stop/low speeds. Took to an independent service center who ran the ODB codes, showing the now well-known issue of "transmission failure gears 1-4" Warning lamps include the lane sense and check engine lights, and a message on the dash that reads ACC not available, Automatic high beams not available. Prior to this, no problems with the truck at all. I am trying to arrange getting it towed to a dealership.

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the hood was raising up and down. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the contact was informed that it was a design flaw by the manufacturer. The contact was informed that there was no fix for the issue. The contact stated that the vehicle was not driven often; however, when the vehicle was driven it was normally a 600-mile trip. The contact was concerned that the hood would unlatch while driving. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.

Discovered that the passenger side seat belt warning chime does not operate when someone is sitting in the passenger side front seat. I contacted the manufacturer just now who told me no one will be in contact with me, they just take the information. I asked the value of their customer care and they responded I don’t know. A case number was assigned but again, I was informed no one will make contact. I would think this is a safety law violation especially since we live in California. I need help here please.

Sudden loss of forward gears. Failure happened on highway at highway speeds. Had to carefully maneuver the truck off the road. Failure in both towing and unloaded operation. Truck will not shift in or out of drive (1-4) but reverse is still functional. Diagnostic trouble code P0731-00 and P0734 "Gear 1 and 4 Shift Incorrect Ratio". Both the dealer and RAM confirm this transmission failure. RAM has realeased a TSB which covers this failure but hasn’t released a recall.

DEF fluid froze leaving crystals that obstructed computer reading of DEF tank. This would have forced vehicle into emergency 5 mile an hour limp mode. Taken to local Dodge/Ram dealer that had nearly THIRTY other diesel trucks with same problem ahead of me. Once repaired to OEM specs, the service manager stated it will happen again. Dodge/Ram acknowledges this has been an issue for years. In Alaska winters this situation could very well be life threatening!!

Driving on the freeway towing an empty trailer, when without any incident the check engine light came on. As I was exiting the freeway, I had what felt like no forward drive. I was able to coast off the exit and pull over. I found that I had reverse but forward was very weak. I was able to pull the truck and trailer a couple hundred feet ahead to safety in a large parking lot, then called the tow truck. I was able to have a friend meet me and take the trailer.

Without warning the transmission failed. Along with loss of power, when the tranny failed, the ability to use the exhaust brake also fails. The ability to manually downshift fails. I was on steep winding roads in North Idaho (Elk River) when this occurred with three passengers aboard. Once I was able to stop, I was on a steep uphill grade with no forward gears or shoulder to pull over on. I had to coast in neutral back down the mountain to an appropriate site to get off the road. All of this with no forward or reverse gears. The vehicle was towed to a dealership where it was determined to have the K-1 snap ring failure in the Aisin transmission. This problem is common enough that parts to repair the transmission are on back order with no definitive eta available.

I have contacted Stellantis several times and was assigned case number 86112892 and was told someone would contact me within 24-48 hours, but no one has contacted me since I called on May 8, 2023. I can't park or drive this vehicle anywhere without causing possible damage to someone's personal property or my own and I only have this vehicle to drive.

hello, on the truck, a review was opened, they took the truck to the dealership, they didn’t even give us anything in return, since they were in california themselves from new york for another 2 weeks, they waited in line, they said to replace the transmission and something light to do, more than a month has passed, the costs will grow hotel trailer work we don’t know what to do, they don’t pick up the phone by the truck, they take 80 thousand each and the attitude is terrible

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 3500. The contact stated while driving at approximately 70 MPH the ABS (Anti Lock Brake System) warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that as he slowed to exit the highway he depressed the brake pedal which went to the floorboard. The contact stated that he had no brakes and was only able to stop the vehicle using the brakes on the trailer he was towing. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, who diagnosed and determined that the rear brake fluid line had become disconnected and that brake fluid had run out of the system which is why he had no brakes. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the brakes failed again while he was on the highway, and again he had to use the trailer brakes to stop the vehicle from running into the back of another vehicle that was ahead of him. The contact stated that he saw the ABS light illuminated and he had also noticed smoke coming from under the vehicle. When the contact had pulled off the highway, he stated that he saw flames issuing from the rear wheel wells. The contact was able to use an onboard fire extinguisher, however, the flames were not controlled. The contact stated that the police and fire department had arrived on the scene and that the flames were put out using water. The contact was not aware if the police or fire department had written any reports. The vehicle was towed back to the same dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

This vehicle went back to the dealer numerous times and ultimately was surrendered to Chrysler under lemon law. It had ABS braking issues along with trailer brake problems. At about 8000 miles it started having ABS alarms which cause a bunch of other issues that I feel is a serious safety problem. When the ABS system malfunctions it causes the traction control,4 wheel drive, and trailer brake systems to fail as well. I never brought the vehicle home after the last incident in September 2022 as I felt it was totally unsafe to drive especially with the trailer attached.

The vehicle had been parked in the street for several hours. I started the vehicle in order to back it into my driveway for the night and then turned it off (total run time for the operation was most likely under a minute from the time the engine was started until it was shut down). The temperature was relatively cool and I did have to wait for the grid heater to cycle before the engine started. I did not notice any signs, warnings, safety indicators, or dash lights to alert me to any possible problems. Upon exiting the truck I detected a very faint and quickly disipating odor of hot electrical components, similar to a fourescent light ballast that has gone bad. I looked around but didn't see anything. I began retrieving some tools from the rear passenger side of the truck and smelled the same odor but stronger. Over the next 30-40 seconds I began to search for the source and realized that white smoke was now pouring out from under the hood of the truck. I was able to get it to start and pulled it into the street just prior to flames coming from under the hood near the drivers windshield. 911 was contacted as I tried to remove any belongings from the cab. The truck is now a total loss due to fire most likely. The fire and police responded to put the vehicle out but it was almost completely engulfed on their arrival. My insurance company is attempting to gain possession of the vehicle to begin their investigation. The Vehicle has approx 16,900 miles and was Serviced for safety recall Y76 for risk of engine fire on September 21st of 2022. The vehicle had 14,192 miles when it was inspected and passed according to the recall standards at the time. The vehicle has no other history of repairs or service items and has had no other mechanical or electrical problems to date. This was a very close call that could have resulted in the loss of my home, all my possessions, and risked harm to myself and my family if I had not stopped to get tools from the cab.

The transmission spontaneously slipped out of park and went into reverse. My safety was close to critically impacted. When it began to roll on its own, I was scooped by the driver door and dragged several yards until the truck impacted another vehicle and came to a stop. I very likely could have been killed. If anyone had been behind the truck they likely could have been killed. The incident resulted in significant damage to my vehicle and the vehicle that it ran into. I have not driven the truck since the incident to reproduce. Police did come out to inspect the accident. Has not gone to dealer yet. There were no warning light, buzzers, etc. completely spontaneous. Note: the vehicle was running when this happened. When I was able to get back in truck the stalk was still in park position
