Consumer Description

UPON SLOWING DOWN AROUND 20 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ACCELERATE REQUIRING A HARDER PRESS ON THE BRAKE. IF I LET OFF THE GAS AROUND 40 MPH THE VEHICLE MAINTAINS SPEED BEFORE IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE. EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL JOLT AND THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON PUTTING IT IN A LIMP MODE WITH LITTLE FORWARD MOMENTUM WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. THE DEALER SAID ITS THE ABS CONTROL MODULE BUT THE FACTORY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE DEALER COULDN'T PROVE IT WAS BAD. AT THAT POINT THE 2015 KL TRAILHAWK HAD AROUND 33000 34000 MILES ON IT AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY.
