Consumer Description
AFTER 10,000 MILES THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT IT SAYING I JUST NEED NEW SENSORS. DROVE IT A COUPLE MORE DAYS AND NOTICED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NON EXISTENT. I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK AND USE IT A TON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN BRING THE LIGHT ON OR WORK AT ALL. THE NEXT DAY STARTED DRIVING AND THE REAL ISSUES STARTED. TURNED TRUCK ON; SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING; THEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT. KEPT GOING AND GOING TILL I WAS GETTING TO 5000RPM AND IT SHIFTED WITH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FORCE. ONCE IT SHIFTED THE WHOLE TRUCK DID A HUGE JERK THEN WENT A LITTLE MORE AN DID A DOUBLE SHIFT TOTALLY BYPASSING THE 3RD GEAR. I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. KEPT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL DAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID GET IT TO THEM WHEN I COULD AND THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK. ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS TRYING TO GET THE BRAND NEW $35,000 TRUCK THAT DIDN'T WORK TO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST RUNNING INTO THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF ME WHO CUT ME OFF BECAUSE I CAN'T GO OVER 40MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE VIOLENT SHIFTING MOVING THE WHOLE TRUCK. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO BLAME ME FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT I COULD NOT HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSE IF I TRIED AND THAT MY BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 10,000MILES ON IT WAS FINE JUST NEEDED A COUPLE SENSORS. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT WORKING AND I THINK SENSORS ARE THE LEAST OF THE WORRIES.
