1998 Dodge RAM 2500 acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Without prior notice while driving at any speed, the vehicle keeps shutting down due to excessive wear. *ak
Automatic transmission jumps in and out of overdrive, the speed control does not fuction properly as well. When the truck had 2,987 miles on it the original transmission destorted by itself, a new one was installed and 2 recalls performed (788 and 799). Ever since that time the truck has been to the original dealer twice for repairs and to a local dealer for repairs. As of last week chrysler motor corp. Believes there is a problem with the computer that is causing both problems, but will not give me a time frame when the program fix will be available. In the meantime I have been told to drive the truck because it is still under warranty, and if the transmission should destory itself again the corp. Will replace it. I purchased this truck to pull a horse trailer and I cannot use it for the purpose in which was intended for.
Speed control (cruise control) was engaged when vehicle suddenly accelerated on its own. When going uphill, would maintain speed. Was cresting the hill when it picked up speed.
