10 speed transmission issues: hard shifts, feels like slipping while in gear and driving, transmission "lunged" at a STOP sign jerking the truck forward, transmission "bangs" during some upshifts, transmission "bangs" at a full stop feeling like being rear-ended. Erratic shifting and unexpected forward lunging are a safety issue of myself and other drivers. Have not asked dealer to investigate yet. No warning lamps or messages. Unable to reliably replicate the issues.

vehicle has a hard shift and jerks when shifting up and down

On multiple occasions the transmission has slipped when changing gears.This has happened when trying to merge into traffic. One time almost causing someone to rear-end me. It also fails to downshift some times when stopping, causing me to brake much harder than normal. I will be taking it to the dealer soon, to see if this can be fixed. These issues can be a little scary at times. There have been no warning lights or messages. This has happened at least a dozen times now. The first incident with the transmission I think started in 10/2022. it was sporadic at first, but seems to happen almost daily now.

There is gasoline in my oil. I had an oil analysis from a lab, and they confirmed there is too much gasoline in my oil.
