| Description of the problem | Truck downshifts very erratically and harsh from 6th to 5th gear while braking, causing the brake pedal to be pushed down at various pressures due to the truck lunging forward because of the erratic and harsh downshift from 6th to 5th gear. Truck does not feel safe, the downshift is so erratic and harsh that it feels as if you are being rear ended. I have allowed time for the transmission to "learn" as stated in the manual but it has not changed. |
