What owners wrote
Periodically, when the car is started from a stopped position, the engine will rev and the car does not go. Seems like something in transmission is slipping. Have taken to the dealer and they cannot locate a problem.
Dt: the contact stated truck stalled at 60 MPH. No lights came on, it just cut out. It usually restarted after the second time. When parking the truck and letting it sit overnight with of tank of gas it will not start the next day until the contact put more gas into the tank. As long as vehicle did not sit overnight it will usually restart. The contact noticed this happening at 90,000 miles. He knew someone else who had the exact same problem.
