What owners wrote
Nov 11 2015 my truck flipped during a left hand turn while pulling a 3 car hauler with 2 cars on trailer I was about 25000lbs gross plus or minus 1000lbs. I was on my way to truck stop for fuel when accident happened. My truck has an automatic transmission and the month before was having shifting issues on level ground so I took to dealership for free factory repair/ reprogram transmission have all documents.
Anytime I have to take my foot off the accelerator pedal causing the truck to coast a bit, and then depressing the accelerator pedal back down in an effort to speed up, there is a 2 to 4 second pause before the truck even starts to accelerate. This issue changes in delay time depending on the current speed your coasting at. The 25 to 45 MPH range seems to create the longest delay.
