Description of the problem | I was driving at 70mph and my truck suddenly went into 4th manual gear from automatic. When i came to a complete stop, at a traffic light on a slope, the truck rolled back and revved up very high, and rolled backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. The truck would not go back into automatic drive. When i got home i shut my truck off for about 10min. S. I restarted it and it would not go into drive, only the 4th manual gear would display when i put it into drive. After further internet research, i discovered the mode that it was in was called "limp mode". After during further research, i discovered that it was a common issue for my brand of truck. I think this is a recall issue and should be corrected immediately by the dealer or manufacturer. |
