Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While on an incline with the front-end facing up-hill, in 2WD mode, the truck rolls backward after placed in Park. The truck will continue rolling until application of the brakes. This happens every time. When in 4WD (H) mode, the truck does not roll when in Park. This has occurred since we purchased the truck on 23 December 2024; however, until yesterday, we thought the truck was only sliding on our icy driveway. On 20 February 2025, we confirmed without a doubt that the truck is actually rolling while in Park. …”
