What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated the column gear shift was placed into park atop a hill with the emergency brake engaged and the engine running, the vehicle rolled forward and crashed into a tree. After initial parking of the vehicle, the contact exited the vehicle. While attempting to reenter the vehicle and stop the forward motion injuries were sustained. The vehicle rolled downhill 60-70 yards and totaled due to the extensive damage.
At 78,000 miles the transmission began making a noise and vibration that upon first impression sounded and felt like running into a pothole. The truck would also, intermittently fail to go into reverse gear. After dropping the transmission pan it was determined that the pan had several clumps of metal shavings and the transmission has to be replaced. This is an egregious mechanical failure on a vehicle with low mileage and well maintained.
