Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission shifts too soon, making the engine struggle and vibrate at low rpms. while still under warranty, i took it to the dealership and they said all the new 4 cylinder trucks were like this. at 12000 miles, the valves are tapping at idle, and the hood vibrates. seeing the other complaints on this forum, i now remember how squirly the truck gets after going over bumps. that would explain the bad front shocks. i hope i don't get into a bad accident knowing the air bags are not going to work.
