Consumer Description

Transmission failure while towing a travel trailer on a busy street on a slight incline. While traveling about 45 mph felt a jolt and truck lost power and would not accelerate. Felt like truck was in neutral. Truck would not engage Drive and was completely disabled in the number one lane. Tried to re engage the transmission and had success at engaging a higher gear with slow speed and high RPMs causing the engine and transmission to overheat and possibly start a fire. Safely moved across lanes to shoulder and stopped. The street is 55mph. Cars were slamming on their brakes to avoid colliding into my truck or trailer. This happened on March 30, 2023 and has been at the dealership for repairs since and has not been even inspected yet yet. No indicator or warning lamps prior to failure.
