MY TRUCK WAS IN PARK BUT STILL RUNNING. I GOT OUT TO SHUT THE GATE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO ACCELERATE BACKWARDS, ROLLING THROUGH MY GATE, KNOCKING DOWN PART OF A NEIGHBOR'S FENCE, OVER TWO CEMENT PARKING STOPS AND INTO A TREE. WHEN I GOT TO THE TRUCK, IT WAS STILL RUNNING AND STILL IN PARK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 DODGE 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE TAIL PIPE AS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT FOR THE SMOKE TO CEASE BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE DIAGNOSIS WHO STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLU GO INTO FIRST GEAR. FOLLOWING THIS, THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE MEDIAN. THE CONSUMER PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND LET IT IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE MERGING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE IT ACCELERATED TO THE SECOND GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BUT THEY WILL NEED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THIS. *AK THE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO GO INTO REVERSE ON THE SECOND OCCASION. *SC
