I have a 2012 Ram 1500 with the hemi. the warranty expired September 30, go figure.
Yesterday when I shifted into reverse I noticed a bit of a "clunk". when I tried to shift into reverse when I was returning home, it wouldn't shift at all. I shut it off and tried again and it did shift, but with a mild "clunk". The same sound this morning on my way to work, but it did shift.
Has anyone else had a problem like this? I doubt it's the transmission but rather the brake sensor. I don't know. My only mechanical ability consists of "rightsy - tightsy; lefty-loosey"
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Hi dominic2081,

If you decide to use your dealership for any further diagnostics, please let us know. If your powertrain warranty just expired, we can take that into consideration.

if you are 2 days out of warranty, they can help out most of the time. I wouldnt go in there like bull in a china shop <--- although mythbusted go in there and tell them the warranty ran out over the weekend and this is an issue can you do something for me. Nice kills in service lanes
