| Vehicle will either go into neutral when put in reverse or while reversing pop out of reverse into neutral. this mostly occurred when the vehicle was in 4-wheel drive. the dealership serviced the vehicle several times for this issue, but since they were unable to duplicate or resolve the problem. *ak the consumer had two transmission problems. the transmission module shorted out on four separate occasions. this problem caused the consumer to be nearly rear ended three times. the transmission shift indicator showed that the vehicle was in reverse but acted as if it were in neutral. the vehicle pulled to the left, the brakes would squeak and the vehicle had poor gas mileage. *sc the battery was replaced because the vehicle did not start at times. *jb | |||

| I was driving along when my truck lost power for no apparent reason, it just stalled out. i did get to the side of the highway and turn it off, then started it up again. i continued down the road when it did it again. i was 80 miles from home and 30 miles from the nearest town in a truck that only had 40k miles of it and it left me stranded in the middle of nowhere because of a faulty fuel pump. this must be a problem since there was a recall on replaced fuel pumps in this year of vehicle. a vehicle between 03' and 06 should only have about 12k to 36k so why are the parts not staying together? it was a fuel pump, in the gas tank which you don't have access to unless its at home or in a shop, why are they building vehicles with faulty parts that you can't even change. i had to pay $763.00 to get it fixed, and it had to be towed 125 miles from where i lived, so i was with out a vehicle and then had to get a ride over to get it a week later. *nm | |||
