Consumer Description

TRUCK WAS IN PARK, WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED, AND REFUSED TO START. AFTER TWENTY MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED. I STEPPED OUT TOO CLOSE THE HOOD, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE. IT STRUCK A PART OF THE PARKING STUCTURE, BENDING THE HINGES AND MISSALIGNING THE DRIVERS DOOR. FROM THAT POINT ON THE TRUCK WILL NOT START IN PARK, AND YOU MUST "FIND THE NEUTRAL STARTING POINT, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND REVERSE. TODAY, 12-15-98 I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND NOW THERE IS NO NEUTRAL TO START THE TRUCK IN !
