This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

Occasionally when you step on the clutch to stop the vehicle or change gears, the clutch pedal just goes straight to floor and does not disengage the clutch. Sometimes you have to shut the engine off to stop the vehicle, and sometimes when stopped at a stop sign or red light, the vehicle will not go back into a gear. Also while driving, sometimes you cannot change gears. After the first sign of trouble I checked all of the fluid levels and found that the hydraulic reservoir for the clutch control assembly was low on fluid. I've had to refill this reservoir several times now, which helps the issue of changing gears however the fluid still seems to be leaking out from somewhere, and I'm concerned that it is leaking somewhere internally in the transmission/clutch area.
I was hauling a 15,000 lb fifth wheel with the cruise control set at about 45mph coming up to the light on hwy. 35 and hwy. 20 intersection northbound in Indiana. I tapped my foot on the break to shut my cruise control off like I normally do and put my foot on the throttle to control the acceleration to the light. I realize I wasn't slowing down properly and put my foot on the brake and stood both feet on the break to try to stop to avoid hitting the car in front of me. I ended up hitting the car in front of me even with the truck and trailer brakes applied. The airbags did not go off in either vehicle. Everything went so quickly, didn't know why the truck didn't want to slow down. I have had no problem with the truck or my 2018 truck. I believe the cruise control not shutting off was the cause of the accident. I would like you to come and investigate it to see if that was the issue of the accident. I can't think of anything else that would have caused it.
The contact owns a 2017 Ram 3500. While driving unknown speeds, the driver's seat moved without warning when the accelerator pedal was applied. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (blue bonnet Chrysler Dodge, 547 S seguin ave, new braunfels, tx 78130) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 17,125.
