Consumer Description

I HAD JUST FINISHED PUMPING GAS AND TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND SHIFTED FROM PARK TO DRIVE. WHEN I DID THIS, NOTHING HAPPENED. I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T TURN THE TRUCK ON SO I PRESSED THE PUSH START BUTTON AND TURNED OFF. TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND SHIFTED FROM P TO D AND STILL NOTHING. STILL IN D I VERY LIGHTLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK JOLTED FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. I'M NOT A MECHANIC BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME TRUCK HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX. I HAVE ALSO HEARD A NOISE EVERY TIME I PRESS THE BRAKE THAT COMES FROM THE ELECTRONIC GEARBOX AND ALSO A NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL ITSELF THAT SOUNDS LIKE SPARKS. MY TRUCK HAS UNDER 400 MILES AS I WRITE THIS ON 07/04/2019. HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN 10 DAYS.
