What owners wrote
When merging onto I-70 freeway from on-ramp, I applied throttle to move into the traffic flow. Engine "stumbled" as if in a dead spot. Truck did not accelerate and appeared to be lugging badly. Transmission was in too high a gear and seemed to be searching for correct gear. During this time oncoming traffic was forced to brake and there was a near miss of having a rear-end collision. All I could do was watch in the rear view mirror as traffic converged on me.
After filling gas tank it doesn't start immediately.also when turning off vehicle the key does not go to off where it can be pulled out. Takes many tries and steering wheel appears tight to wiggle to release key. Doesn't happen all the time but enough times to be concerning
