“This has happened before back in 2010 and I put an extra stabilizer on the front and upper and lower ball joints and a few more pieces all made by moog but the front end still shakes almost uncontrollable and I have to slow down real fast before I cause an accident I'm afraid it's going to make me wreck”

Got out of my truck and walked in front of it and then ran inside the house to grab what I forgot. When I came back outside, my truck was moving foward by itself, the truck shifted by itself from park to drive. I ran to the passenger side and turned the knob back to park to stop the truck. The truck hit the corner of the house and damaged my house and truck. I was lucky enough to stop it before it went all the way inside the house. …”
