Description of the problem | On 6/6/16 i started having the trouble. After backing up and putting the truck in gear, the truck would surge forward without touching the gas pedal. This also occurred on 6/11/16, 6/17/16 and 6/23/16. On 6/23/16 i was at surdykes port 20 marina at the lake of the ozarks. After backing out of the parking space i put it in gear. This time it was much more than a surge. It literally shot forward and even the brakes didn't help because within 3-4 seconds my truck and i were in the lake. Finally got the window to break so i could escape. Just before i went in the lake the truck struck an old golf cart and jet ski trailer that were parked there and took them into the lake also. |
