Two problems related to transmission noise have been reported for the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle jerked accompanied by an abnormal noise without warning. The vehicle could be restarted. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign id number: 13v038000 (power train). The technician also stated that the transmission needed to be replaced, however the transmission was not replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
At about 100 miles on vehicle noticed a low squeal sound from engine or transmission? at present there are 15000 miles on vehicle and the squeal has gotten a little worst. The noise begins after about one or two minutes of starting, and is continually squealing while vehicle is running. The dealer ship ran test and said it was normal. I drove another 2009 1500 ram and the noise was not there, or in another 1500 ram from another dealership. Dealership refuses to go any further with the problem, quote: we can't figure where the noise is coming from, so it must be normal.
