Consumer Description
THE TRUCK SHIFTED IT SELF INTO GEAR WHILE RUNNING IT WAS IN PARK I GOT OUT AND WALKED AWAY ONCE I WAS 50' AWAY I HEARD THE TRUCK SHIFT AND TURNED JUST IN TIME TO SEE IT START ROLLING AWAY. ONCE I RECOVERED MY TRUCK FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL I THOUGH MAYBE I LEFT IT IN GEAR AND GOT OUT UNLIKELY I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR THREE YEARS. I ATTEMPTED TO SEE IF IT WOULD REPEAT I COULD NOT GET IT TO SIT ON MY DRIVEWAY IN GEAR WITH OUT ROLLING AWAY IMMEDIATELY WHILE IN GEAR. MY DRIVE WAY IS STEEP AND THIS DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AND PROPERTY. THE TRUCK SHIFTED ITSELF IN TO GEAR ONCE BEFORE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE TRUCK BUT AT THE TIME I WROTE IT OFF TO MY CONFUSION WITH THE DIAL SHIFTER AND THE TRUCK ONLY WENT A FEW FEET INTO A CURB BLOCK. NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I RECONSIDERED. I WILL NOT BE LETTING MY TRUCK RUN ANY MORE WITHOUT ME BEHIND THE WHEEL.
