| Description of the problem | For the past 6 months i have had the same issues that others have described. There are several issues happening. 1. When coming to a stop then accelerating, most frequently after getting off highway/interstate the trucks rpms will rev up to 4000, but the truck will never shift out of 1st gear. I have to come to a complete stop and/or restart the truck before it will operate normally. 2. Again stop from off highway/interstate when accelerating the truck will slowly move and it will still be in 4th gear which will eventually get up to speed and start to act normal. 3. When driving down the road at 30-50mph the truck will shift down to 1st gear from 6/5th gear casing the rear tires to lock and skid slowing the truck down quickly. I was just able to get off the road in time to not cause an accident. 4. When driving down the road the truck will jerk like it down shifted and shows the wrench icon and then the speedometer drops to 0mph while still traveling down the road. The tachometer still works, but that is about it. I have to restart the truck before it will start working again. Had mechanic check for codes, but there was none. This behavior is very erratic and a significant safety hazard, i worry for my safety. There should be a recall for this issue. |
