Consumer Description

THE CONNECTOR ON THE CABLE FROM THE ECU TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO CORROSION. THIS CAUSES THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING STOP IN A MANNER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T OCCUR WHEN PULLING OUT ON A BUSY STREET. THE SITUATION IS DANGEROUS. THE TRUCK ALREADY HAD A FRAME RECALL DUE TO CORROSION. THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR AND REPRESENTS A DESIGN FLAW WITH DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES. *TR
