This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When shifting gears, the engine revs up to very high rpms...holds for a few (5) seconds and then drops down to idle at approx. 1600 rpms. Seems to happen most frequently after truck has been driven a while. Have taken to two mechanics but to no avail.
When I shift from 2nd-3rd-4th, no matter what gear I put it in, the motor reves really high. Almost like it has to be shifted again. We had it back to the dealer once before. They said they fixed the problem. It started acting up again 2 months later. When we took the vehicle to the dealer it wasn't doing it at the time. It seems like it only does it after you drive the vehicle awhile. If at all possible, can you please let us know if other people have the same problem. And how do we go about having them fix the vehicle and pin point the problem I'am having with it. Thank you for your help.
Throttle controls are faulty. When trying to decellerate, the engine sometimes defaults to an idle in the 1200 to 1600 RPM range, and won't decellerate to less than 40 mph unless pressing the brakes or shifting into neutral. When taking foot off accelerator and the controls default to an idle in the 1400-1500 RPM range and vehicle accelerates. Had several near-misses.
