| Description of the problem | While driving and trying to enter a major highway at about 40 mph and trying to accelerate, i had to pull out to the shoulder because the truck wouldn't shift to a higher gear... I had to get out of the highway because the truck wasn't able to accelerate and remained on 1st shift struggling to get to 2nd and then 3rd.... I got home and heard the engine or radiator make bubbling noise.... After 3 or 4 hours i opened the radiator and saw all sorts of gunk like bubblegum... It was still warm and it oozed out falling all over my driveway... I payed a mechanic $300 to change the radiator thinking it was the problem ... Only to find out it was much more and more money also.... I looked for another mechanic and he said it would cost $4000 to fix everything... I've wasted more than $3000 trying to figure out what the problem is.. Now the mechanic says that a new transmission module valve is needed .... How many more trucks breaking down or complaints until this issue is resolved.... I was lucky that when i was on the highway no cars were coming full speed... Because without being able to accelerate i would of caused an accident and gotten killed... I loved my truck and miss riding it... Please look into this... Thank you.. |
