“This truck has many problems. Strarting with the transmission going out, the front right side of the truck there is a distinctive clunk when put into gear; either forward or reverse. Then going interior; the door ajar light comes on it thinks that the doors are not shut, but you can slam all 4 doors shut and it still thinks the doors are ajar so that will keep the interior light on while driving. The interior light will go out if you get up to about 20 MPH, then when you slow down to under 20mph it will come back on. The warning bell comes on and stays on even when the truck is shut off. …”
