    Harsh 2-1 downshift, "Jerk" or "bump" upon coming to a stop

    that is not normal. That is an incompetent dealership making excuses for not wanting to investigate and do the job. I was given the go around by 2 Dealerships until it got fixed because FCA stepped in and instructed one of them to finally get it done. the fix is driveshaft replacement.

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    It’s back! Approx 4000 miles of driving without any bumps or jerks after driveshaft replacement and I slowly started feeling it. Very insignificant at first but now after over 7000 miles it’s the same as before. I even feel it at times, mostly high speeds over 65mph if I let go off the...

    Harsh 2-1 downshift, "Jerk" or "bump" upon coming to a stop

    Haas, I have read in other threads and forums that this issue is not just limited to RAM 1500. It exists in RWD Jeeps, chargers, Chrysler 300 etc. I have seen complaints from V6 and V8 owners.

    bamafan76, what did the dealership have to say after diagnosing the issue on your truck?

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    Almost 500 miles after the new drive shaft was put it. The truck is running great. I’ve almost forgotten what the stop and go bump felt like. I haven’t felt any shudder, bump or hesitation. I will send an update after a few months. One thing I need to mention, those of you experiencing this...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    No bucking or shudder but i felt a thump/bump either when i took my foot off the brake or when the truck began to move. Same thing when coming to a stop. It was in the first gear so definitely not a gear 1-2 thing. It was almost like something loose was engaging/disengaging. That was obviously...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    Picked up my truck from the dealership today after 3 days of it being in the shop. They replaced the drive shaft. Truck drives and feels great just like it should. No bump stops, no jerks when slowing down, stopping or taking off. I drove the truck over a 100 miles, afternoon, evening and night...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    First dealership service manager refused to fix anything on my truck. Said it’s a ‘normal operating characteristic’ and that there is no fix and nothing they can do. They say nothing wrong with the transmission or driveshaft. Service advisor told me in confidentiality that they didn’t even look...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    Mbrigh3 good to know that the new transmission has fixed your problem. How many miles have you put on the truck with the new transmission? No jerks or bumps when coming to a stop or taking off? Mine is back at the dealership and they are diagnosing the issue again.

    Steering Issues

    Update: So I’m more than a month into driving the truck after the repair and can now say that the issue has been fixed. Apparently it was a power steering module that sits under the cabin close to where the AC condensate drains out. It was installed incorrectly by the factory. Periodic...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    Mine is RWD only. Not 4x4. I didn’t see the single pc drive shaft supported in the center on the 4x4 which i had as a loaner. But you probably have a point about the 2 pc unsupported drive shaft on the short bed trucks. So the dealership returned the truck and said I had only completed 4/6...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    So my 2019 classic ccsb has been in the shop for three weeks now. They have been fixing a power steering failure issue, first visit when it was in the shop for a week they replaced the power steering gear. 2 weeks later it began failing again while driving (no power steering assist). Turns out...

    Steering Issues

    I have a new 2019 1500 Classic lone star CCSB and I started experiencing issues right around 1300 miles. Three to four instances and each on different days, the ‘service power steering’ message flashed. I lost power steering assist. Lots of effort required to steer the truck especially when...

    Q Dean, any updates on your issue? Did servicing the drive shaft help?

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    How did you manage to take off the rubber boot clamps? Did you use a special tool? Seems like they are crimped. Brake open and replace with new ones? If so, I see that Home Depot sells a crimping tool for this application. Did you disconnect the drive shaft from the rear differential to extend...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    Guru1ofatl, are you saying that you applied copper anti seize over the splines on the end of the drive shaft that goes into the rear differential? And this cured the bump 2-1 stop and 1-2 accelerate? Did you get your software flashed/updated in addition to that? If so, now when you come to a...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    I have a 2019 classic with 5000 miles and it is doing the same thing. Bump 2-1 when stopping and 1-2 when accelerating. Became noticeable around 4000 miles and now happens almost 8 of 10 times. Passengers feel it too. On the forums some say the drive shaft needs to be lubricated, some say it’s...
