When driving at any speed vehicle isn't shifting properly. Also, floorboard is getting hot, and there is some type of noise coming from the floorboard.
My 1998 Dodge Ram equipped with an automatic transmission shifts into neutral when hitting hard bumps in the road. Chrysler district manager says all Dodge Rams do this and I ought to drive a little slower. The abs brakes have also fairled on a steep decline. The noise from the front end was horrendous and the wheels continued to roll with no effort to stop. Also the front end of this truck cannot be aligned. Dodge has attempted to correct the problem by installing aftermarket ball joints, however problem still exists and I have gone thru 3 sets of tires. If all Ram trucks shift into neutral then all should be off the road as mine is. I have received several calls from other owners having the same problem.

When my truck goes into overdrive, there is a grinding, viberating noise that seems to come from the transmission. After the tranny fluid warms up theres a slight noise accompanied with a real bad loss of foward speed. I have to make it downshift to go just a little faster while in overdrive.
