THE TRUCK HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND RANDOMLY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT HAS A HARD TIME DOWNSHIFTING WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO STOP. WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT AND SINCE IT HAS A HARD TIME STOPPING I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO REAR END SOMEONE. ANOTHER ISSUE THE TRUCK HAS IS WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. IT WORKS GOOD BUT IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN ENGAGED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AS I HAVE BEFORE. I AM HOPING THEY TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT IT AND FIX THE ISSUES.
