| Description of the problem | This year model has a serious defective problem with the gas accelerator malfunctioning. I have spoken to dozen of friends and family with this year model and above an all have problems with the gas pedal. This will lead to someone being killed if not addressed by the builder of the truck. The pedal sticks when driving ,thus causing you to accelerate when driving. I have almost ran into the vehicle in front of me. I have asked family and friends with the same type of truck and they too have has this problem. |
