Complaint Summary
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Owner Narrative
THE STEERING COLUMN STARTING SQUEAKING, AND THE SHIFT STICK WOULD WIGGLE A LITTLE WHILE IN GEAR. THEN ONE OF THE NEXT TIMES I WENT TO GO MOVE THE TRUCK I PUT IT INTO REVERSE, STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT SHIFTED ITSELF INTO DRIVE. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING IT, WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IT WOULD CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY DEALER A YEAR AGO FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ALL THEY DID WAS TIGHTENED THINGS IN THE STEERING COLUMN.
