What owners wrote
Just seconds after having come to a complete stop, the transmission shifts while rpms increase causing the vehicle to overcome the brake pressure and truck to move forward abruptly. This caused me to roll out into the lane of oncoming traffic and strike a vehicle as it was passing.
