I drive a 98 dodge ram. The transmission slips out of overdrive on it's own. I will be replacing this transmission at a cost of $2000.00. It does it at speeds of 70 MPH and could be dangerous if towing a trailer. Dodge trucks are known for faulty transmissions.

Automatic transmission slips at cruising speed. My truck, my nephews truck and four others I am aware of in little rock arkansas are all having the same problem. When engine is not pulling or accelerating the transmission slips causing the RPM to rise around 4 hundred to 800 RPM. My nephew stated that there was a recall on this problem some time back. I only purchased this truck a year ago and was unaware of this problem.

I was on the freeway, and as I went to pass a slower vehicle, I felt the transmission "slip" and watched the RPM's increase dramatically, while my speed actually decreased. I slowed down and tried to continue to drive at a slower speed, however this became impossible very quickly. I also smelled something, probably the clutches "slipping" so I pulled over and called for a tow truck.

Transmission slips out of park into reverse. The lever must be jiggled to lock into park.
