Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND I BELIEVE CODE E17 IS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS GO INTO PARK. IT STAYS IN REVERSE I HAVE HAD CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A REAL CONCERN. THE DAM SIGNAL HORN TO ALERT YOU IS TO SLOW TO RESPOND AND FAILS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. ALSO I LOST MY SERPENTINE BELT WHICH CAUSED BRAKING AND STEERING DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET. IT CAUSED ME TO DRIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR QUITE A DISTANCE. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES I HAVE COMPLAINED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING NEW. DEALER DENIED PROBLEMS UNTIL RECALLS
