Consumer Description

WE HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE FEBRUARY 2019. THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED ON THE CITY STREETS AS WELL AS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SPEED WOULD VARY BETWEEN 35MPH AND 65MPH. WHILE WE WERE DRIVING WITH 4 SMALL CHILDREN IN OUR TRUCK, THE TRUCK WOULDN'T SWITCH GEARS. OUR FOOT WOULD BE ON THE GAS, BUT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES THE TRUCK WILL BE IN PARK AND WE'LL GO TO SHIFT INTO (D) AND IT WON'T SHIFT. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. (I HAVE SELECTED THE MOST RECENT DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES ON DIFFERENT DAYS. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS, AS THIS IS A MOTION THING. I DO NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION AT THE MOMENT, BUT WILL BE TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC THIS WEEK.) I HAVE ESTIMATED THE MILLES ON THE TRUCK, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS LESS THAN 180K.
