Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problems of the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500

Driving south on icy and snowpack highway. Oncoming car spun into my lane. Braked hard, moved right, oncoming car spun back towards their lane, continued past car. Watched the car and it didn't hit anything. I accelerated but had no throttle response. Engine had died. The engine has never done this. Put in neutral, started engine, put in drive, accelerated and drove fine. I was going 55 to 60 mph. In drive and 4 wheel drive engaged. The pickup has an automatic transmission. I think it was in lockup and when I slammed on the brakes the lock up converter did not have time to disengage when the tires stopped when I braked. The pickup does not have all wheel anti lock brakes. It does have rear wheel anti-lock brakes. The tires are studded snow tires. I think the roads were slick enough to stop the wheels when braking hard. With all 4 wheels stopped, the torque converter in lock up it would act like a standard transmission and kill the engine. The only way that would have been a problem is if I had to go in the ditch to avoid the oncoming car. In that situation, deep snow in the ditch plus the plow berm, I would have had to accelerate to get through it and keep the pickup from going side ways and possibly rolling. Have you had any other complaints like this. If you have any questions please call. Thanks,.

After my truck was sitting without starting for a couple of days, it would not go into reverse. I would hit the accelerator and the truck would not move. After a while, it would start to sift into gear with a very loud noise. I also noticed, that when I was coming to a stop, but didn't completely stop, the transmission would hit very hard upon acceleration. I have taken it to the shop three times. The first time I was told that since there was no code, that it was fine. I stated that if it was a mechanical issue, that you may not get a code. For instance, if you lose a tire on the road. The second time, they adjusted the electronic shifter, but it didn't help. The third time, they changed the filter, but only put silicone on the pan with no gasket. I was told that the tranny had a problem with the filter allowing the torque converter to back bleed and that they put in a filter with a check valve to fix the problem. I now have more power, but I am still getting some hard shifting when I slow down and then speed up. The problem started at 20,000 miles.

Transmission in my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab pick-up truck with only 3656 miles on it is making a whining sound when it is warmed up, the vehicle was brought back to the dealership where it was purchased and looked at by one of the service technicians, the technician stated that the transmission would need a torque converter and a front pump. The manufacturer of the vehicle was contacted and the parts which were requested by the dealership under warranty were denied by the manufacturer, so at this time I was told by the service director that I would have to live with it and was sent home with the transmission still whining as it was when I brought it in, this condition to me is completely unacceptable and it is unsafe.
