THE DAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK MADE A FUNNY SOUND AND THEN IT JUST LOCKED UP . THE TRUCK ALMOST SWERVED OFF THE ROAD BEFORE I GOT CONTROL OF IT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SO WE COULD OF HAD THIS FIXED. THIS PROBLEM WOULD OF BEEN REMIED A LONG TIME AGO AND WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS POSITION. WE SHOULD OF BEEN TOLD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO WE COULD OF HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS COULD OF CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH. I FIND THIS TOTALLY DISBELIEVABLE AND NOW WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET THIS MATTER CLEARED UP. WE SEEM TO BE GETTING DOORS CLOSED IN OUR FACES. *AK
