“On sept 21 2016 I arrived at my home. I drove up my gravel driveway in d(drive) and slowed to a stop and my truck began to roll backward under my control. I was checking on the ground for lawn damage. The truck shuttered twice, shut off and started to roll backward toward a tree. I quickly regained control with a panic stop. I was able to place the truck in park and restart the truck. I had lost control of the truck.”
NHTSA complaint #10909931, filed 2016-09, 12,400 miles“I park in a 5 level parking garage. Several months ago, I was leaving when I came up to the ramp to the next lower level. I let off on the accelerator before I went from flat to lowering ramp. The truck shifted up to second gear, accelerated and through me toward the vehicle in front. The truck went out of my control. If I were not a safe driver I would have struck the vehicle. This issue has occurred another time as well. There have been other problems which are numerous. I will address them individual in further complaints.”
