2021 Ram 6.4 less than 15,000 miles. While driving home one nite from our shop cruising 50 mph the Transmission suddenly on its own downshifted immediately to 1st gear with the rpms redlining? Pulled over, shut everything off, restarted all seemed ok. 2 days later cruising now at 70 mph it did this again, on it's own downshifted immediately to 1 st gear with the motor screaming! Took it back to the dealer where they had it 1 week and said the Transmission Control Module was bad, hmm less than 15.000 miles?? They replaced that said all was good! Picked it up at the dealer Friday eve, drove 4 miles to my house all seemed fine in that 4 miles. Had a race on Saturday so we loaded our race car on the trailer and headed out. Got on the interstate and went maybe 12 miles pulling our race car/trailer cruising at 74 mph the transmission immediately shifted to first gear once again redlining the crap out of the engine! Almost causing a serious wreck!!! Shut everything off, re grouped and re started and continued on slowly with caution to the race, approximately 90 miles and seemed fine. Heres the next weird thing, we had to pull across a wet flat field so had some rear tire spinnage, put it in 4wd low range to help but it would only pull the rear 2 wheels, front would not engage at all and just about got stuck??? Anyway after all this I got it back to the dealer Monday morning 1st thing, they just couldn't believe this happened again? The kept my truck almost 3 weeks this time, changed the Trans module again, also changed the t-case module and said it was fine. I had them note that on 4 different occasions the engine way over revved and I was worried about my 6.4 engine having damage? They said the engine was fine and they would check the oil to see how it looked? Could there be damage to the 6.4 that could creep back up later on? It's only got 15,000 miles on it. Now that I have my truck back it just seems like it's not shifting right, sometimes? It seems like it's slipping at times not always, at slower speeds it seems to want to stay in the lower gears way to long? Sometimes it just acts like it can't make up it mind?? I have not towed the race car yet, I'm a little nervous to??? Sorry so long and thanks in advance!! I just want to see if anyone else has had this issue? Thanks Bryan
