THIS TRUCK KICKS OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL, DOWN SHIFTS, AND SLOWS DOWN BY ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOURS ON INCLINE SUCH AS AN OVERPASS. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES BY 18-WHEELERS. IT ALSO HAS KICKED OUT OF GEAR GOING OVER RAIL ROAD TRACKS AT LOW SPEED AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT KICKED OUT OF GEAR COMING TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ROLLED BACKWARDS. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR WE WERE TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. ALL 4 OF MY DRIVERS NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AS THEY ARE AFRAID OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
