Description of the problem	While driving my 2017 ram 1500 laramie crew cab down a dirt road (approx. 25% grade) on a dry summer day, the truck seems to accelerate and then abruptly decelerate. The truck was in 4 wheel drive low and the transmission was manually placed in 1st gear. The transmission would hold the vehicle from going more than 4 mph on every other downhill area except for this longer stretch (approx 300 ft.). The truck accelerated to above 8 mph with the rpm's also increasing and than suddenly decreasing back to normal. I have been traveling this road for over 20 years with many different vehicles and have never experienced this kind of behavior from a vehicle. The vehicle was brought to the dealership and i was told that there is nothing that they could find wrong, but they re-flashed transmission. That solved nothing, every time i go down that same spot i have same result. Supposedly fca engineering is reviewing issue, if this is to happen in the winter, i know that the vehicle has a very could chance of becoming uncontrollable since the truck would just start to skid when it slows abruptly. Fca's response was to be patient. When i asked the dealership to have someone come out to the property so that i could duplicate this issue for them they declined.
