Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING IN THE SNOW AND SLUSH ROADS, WHEN THE TRUCK TURNS TO THE LEFT, THE FRONT WHEEL KICKS UP SNOW AND SLUSH TOWARDS THE TRANSMISSION. THIS RESULTS IN SNOW PACKING AROUND THE SHIFT LINKAGE. THE RESULT IS THE INABILITY TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. IT HAPPENED TO ME 3 DIFFERENT TIMES DURING THE SNOW STORM THAT NIGHT. I HAD TO CRAWL UNDER THE TRUCK TO CHIP AWAY AT THE BUILD-UP OF SNOW AND ICE. THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO DODGE IN REFERENCE TO THIS AND THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. I HAVE HEARD OF IT HAPPENING TO SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. ANY INPUT ON THIS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
