What owners wrote
When the truck is parked on a slight incline with the engine off it will jerk one or two inches forward. This happens when the truck is parked in reverse with the emergency brake engaged. The problem has been reported to the dealership. Please provide any further concerns.
This problem initially occurred only once a month or so, but has since deteriorated to occurring multiple times per day. When approaching a stoplight, or braking harder than usual, the vehicle will slip into neutral. The shifter does not move, it is still in drive, however, without warning, the car will suddenly stop responding to the accelerator (except the engine still revs).
