Transmission continues to shift erratically, despite being seen by two different dealers. The tcm seems to be an issue. Reprogramming it doesn't seem to fix the problem. The factory tsb has been done twice but has failed to remedy the problem. Vehicle will sometimes lurch up into 2nd gear at lower speeds without warning or down to 1st from 2nd without warning despite traveling at a constant speed of approximately 20 mph. After 22500 miles the vehicle has developed a moderate to severe problem when braking. The vehicle seems to hop in the front end during braking and the brakes seem to loose effectiveness momentarily. Closer investigation revealed both front shocks had failed. The front brake system seems to be in good working order. No leaks, normal pad and rotor wear, no grooves on rotor, the front shocks were replaced but the vehicle continues to have the braking hopping pulsating problem.

While on a long trip transmission started slipping, vehicle at dealership at this time. Consumer stated that the dealer rebuilt the transmission under warranty and while test-driving their work, it failed and they rebuilt it for the second time, the vehicle is still shifts improperly.
Driveline fell out of vehicle. Also, long metal tube came out of transmission. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated it was a defective part in vehicle. Please add VIN.
I feel that the problem with the front brakes has to do with the new all wheel drive system. The transmission problem is very scary because sometimes it takes a few seconds to down shift and that may lead me into haveing an accident. The seat is a big comfort issue seeing that is where you sit to drive. The engine idle makes me feel like the truck is going to stall out and I will have to restart it not good if you are sitting in a line of moveing cars
When the engine is on and while turning / shifting or placing vehicle in reverse rpms will drop from 650 down to 300, and there will be no power for vehicle to move.
