“The vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral. I purchased the vehicle in 2023 at a used car dealership. I mentioned that this was happening to the salesmen roughly 1-2 months after I purchased the vehicle when it first happened I asked him if there were any recalls or any repairs done that I should know about. I was told there were no recalls and no repairs done on the truck. I was told to take it to a dealer to have it check. I called the dealer and mentioned that I saw a recall for this same issue from 2016. I was told there wasn't a recall on the vin #. The truck is not safe to drive. I'm afraid I will cause a serious accident with the truck unexpectedly shifting into neutral.”Owner report · Power Train · Feb 2024
