When driving at slow speeds ( 0 - 45 mph ) or stopped deisel exhaust enters the cab through the air vents due to a leak under the hood. I have been told that this is normal by the dealer and the manufacture's rep. The truck has spent a total of 35 days in the shop so far, with no resolution. I have tried to lemon law the truck but since the dealer refuses to change any parts, I cannot.
While driving on the highway traffic ahead was coming to a stop because of a truck making a left hand turn I applied the brakes and the engine continued to stay at the same speed.I avoided an accident by shifting into neutral and noticed that the engine was running at 1,800 RPM.I then put the truck into drive with the brakes applied and it started to downshift the transmission very hard. This occurred several other times as I drove home. I took the truck to the dealer the next morning and had it serviced for a recall and the problem of a stuck throttle which I thought to be the problem.I was called back to pick up the truck on 1/10/2014 and immediately had the same problem later that day. I took the trick back to the dealer on 1/13/2014 and have yet to receive an answer to the problem only that they can not find a problem with it. This concerns me very much as this condition could and will in the future cause an accident, injury or death should it occur again.
