Example complaints

Transmission and drivetrain: “The truck will automatically drop into 3rd gear from high speeds, drastically reducing the speed, and will not shift into another gear, and seems to reset when the engine is turned off and back on, with the problem reoccurring with greater frequency the warmer the car gets. This happens when the car is in motion above 30 MPH”
