Consumer Description

I work on route 95 doing road construction and I am usually running highway speeds. When leaving work heading up 95 the truck threw itself in second gear out of nowhere. Almost got hit in the fast lane because I could not maintain speed and RPM’s went to 7500. Had to pull over turn the truck off and on and it was fine. It can drive fine for a few hours or a few minutes then the transmission will downshift again out of nowhere while just throwing up a wrench light when it happens that then turns off. It has happened about ten times now. Sitting in driveway. Nice truck to scary to drive.
