    The transmission is shuddering. I only have 68687 miles on vehicle. MY CORRECT phone number is 706 280 0828, but your system will not let me enter it. It would only accept my old number which is no longer valid

    When shifting into second gear truck will jerk sometimes. Can be hard enough that the stuck stops and tires squeal. Also have had transmission flushed and switched the the recommended transmission fluid and didn’t fix the shifting. Also had it stop moving completely, driving then had no power, rpm’s went high but wouldn’t accelerate. Had to have towed. Safety issue, almost rear ended multiple times due to transmission hard shifting. No power on the highway and had to pull over. Not safe!

    At low speeds the brakes become hard and vehicle will not stop requiring increased stopping distance. It appears there is a recall for this, but my VIN does not seem to be included. Reference NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V645000.

    Truck isn’t shifting after 2nd gear when warmed up. Shut it off for a few mins and it shifts fine. If driven more than 20 mins starts doing it again.

    Transmission started to shudder, slip, and lose traction, driving on I-74 near Indianapolis. No indication of malfunction on driver display interface. Loss of power in any situation, on a Freeway, can place the vehicle occupants in a dangerous situation, and potentially cause accidents.

    While driving truck suddenly shuts down. This will often happen while turning or after applying the brakes. This has happened in parking lots as well as while traveling at 50 miles an hour. Usually shuts down for a few seconds and then starts back. Sometimes it shuts off completely and I have to place it in park and restart. The last time was while in traffic.

    I was traveling 30 to 35 miles a hour down about a 4 degree incline with a slight corner at the bottom when my power steering quit on me,no vehicles were coming my way, i stopped the truck and i was in the oncoming, i had to put alot of muscle just to get back in my lane, when i got the truck home i let it sit for a little while, got back in and it was working, i started to take it for a drive and the power steering quit,so i parked it and tried to drive it again and the same as before the power steering quit,so i cannot safely drive it now. I was not in an accident but was able to get it home.

    While back 1,200 pound boat and trailer down a boat ramp, the brake pedal sank to the floor and the vehicle kept rolling. I had to pump it several times to stop it. This has happened every time I go to a boat ramp. Brakes seem to work great other than low speed backing up. I'm scared I might get pulled into the water if I ever tow whatbmy truck is rated for at 11,000 pounds. Please advise.

    I had to replace the transmission and pay out of pocket because my transmission went out due to the recalls that was never sent to me and I was never notified until now.
