Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Around the end of the warranty period, my truck started shifting into "second" gear hard after driving at highway speeds. toward the end of a 200 mile trip, the transmission failed and no longer has a "second" gear. the truck had 48,023 miles on it. i cannot determine for sure if the overdrive function is working, either. while failure did not cause an accident or personal injury, the potential was significant. this vehicle has only been used for personal transportation, not commercial purposes or hauling heavy loads. repairs will be costly. my research indicates repeat failures for this transmission. i am the second owner. i bought the truck from my mother after my father passed away.
