What owners wrote
On 5 occasions the truck shifted from park into reverse while running. During one of these events on 31 oct 2017 I was behind the truck setting up to "pull" a fence tight. Approximately 5 minutes after I got out of the truck it shifted into reverse and knocking me to the ground. I was struck again just as the drivers door (which was open) caught a fence post and stopping the truck. Before this incident I reported the problem to my dealership in dec 2016.
