Consumer Description

I FIRST NOTICED THAT, WHILE IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR AND COULD NOT BE CHANGED. I COULD SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE BUT WHEN I TRIED TO GO TO DRIVE IT WOULD GO TO 4TH GEAR. THEN, 2 DAYS AGO, I BEGAN TO NOTICE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT APPEARED TO BE COMPUTER RELATED. WHEN I TURNED THE RUCK OFF THERE WOULD BE A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. I CHECKED AND IT APPEARED TO BE THE A/C/ COMPRESSOR. THEN IT STOPPED WHEN I UNLOCKED THE TRUCK DOORS. THEN I NOTICED WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE FUEL PUMP TICKING AS IF CALLING FOR FUEL. ONCE AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND, ONCE AGAIN, IT STOPPED. THE NEXT MORNING MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I TRIED TO JUMP IT WITH NO LUCK SO I PURCHASED E NEW BATTERY. NOW WHEN I TRY TO START IT, THE STARTER MAKES ALL KIND OF CRAZY NOISES AND IT WON'T START.
