The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 mph, there was a sudden increase in engine rpms and there was no control over the speed while going up a mountain. Also, the contact stated the transmission would not shift gears. The problem recurred for the second time. The dealer could not duplicate the problem. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 3,300.
We were driving our new truck (only 13 days old) and came up behind a car going 25mph in a 50mph zone. We slowly accelerated the truck to pass the vehicle. During this acceleration, we saw large amounts of white smoke coming from both tailpipes. Then a brief single chime started from the instrument panel. Because it was a new truck we didn't know what was happening and there was no safe place to pull over. We continued up the road and the chiming increased in frequency and white smoke began to come into the cab and from under the hood. We came to side road and immediately pulled over. We got out and the white smoke continued to bellow from under hood. After truck was turned off, the smoke slowly subsided. We towed the truck back to the dealer on a flatbed.
