 Description of the problemI was driving down highway on 3/19/17 and the truck starting jerking then the tach and the speedometer started bouncing then it started to shift from 6th to 2nd then to 5th back to 2nd and so on. Pulled over turned it off to see if the computer would reset then drove down the rode and around 50mph it throw itself into park, then it shifted back into gear and started the same thing over. Took to dealer they so called "fixed it" saying it was low voltage problem caused by alternator and bad battery got truck back 3/14/17, but this morning 3/15/17 it messed up see pic was going 30mph notice the speedometer and it downshifted hard once from 6th to 4th. Now they are telling me its something to o with the transmission computer so i spent over $900 for nothing and have to spend another $1200+ for something they not sure what it is..... The main issue is what if i was on the interstate and it went into park.
