I bought the 2019 Dodge Ram Limited last week (Nov 27, 2019) at Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg ID. I drove to Montana and went on a few drives and it was fine. I drove to my folks place in Central Washington and when I was backing up to park it by the back door, it came to a complete stop like I hit something, with no noise of hitting something.
I got out and saw nothing around the truck or tires so I put it in drive and went 5 feet and put it back into Reverse and backed up around 5 feet and it did it again. I pulled forward 2 feet and put it in reverse and went back about 5 feet and parked it.
During the trip from Montana, there was snow on the roads and icy so I ran it in AWD. In a few areas there was not snow, so I put it in 2WD to drive. From Spokane to Central Washington there was snow on the ground, and I was going 45 to 55 mph and was up to 21 mpg on fuel. I was in AWD about 90 percent of the time all the way to the house and while backing up and it is still in AWD now and I have not moved it.
I will move it again and go out to the road and drive back in and park the same way, to see if it will do it again.
When the truck came to a complete sudden stop going backwards in AWD, it is bad when something is binding up solidly.
Also, notice the steering wheel sticking taking a left hand turn going down I-90. Turning to the right was okay but the left would stick.
