Ram 1500 Laramie HEMI

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles

The engine on mine went to 3000 rpm at a complete stop at a red light. It caused the vehicle to surge forward, and then caused the transmission and rear-end into total failure. I had to place the emergency parking break on to prevent it from rolling into vehicle behind me because of total break failure. I assumed we'd been rear-ended because it launched me all the way forward, however it was not the case. The truck had been doing the revving/surging thing intermittently around the first of this year. I also had it serviced regularly. My Ram is actually a 2006, so obviously they didn't fix the horrible problem.
