When entering traffic, upon acceleration the truck stalls, and shutters. Going into traffic a vehicle had to maneuver to avoid collision with me. I took it to the dealer and they said transmission should get a flush and transmission oil was low. At 60,000 and out of warranty I paid for service and they said it was good now. it still continues. I can’t afford to take it in for service and pay again. From searching online customers state the dealer representatives all say it’s normal for truck to do that. Also, others say transmission (6l80) and/or torque converter is the problem. Again being without warranty I cannot afford to take it in and pay to just get that “it’s normal for the vehicle to do that.” A vehicle that stalls IS a hazard for the driver and for others on the road. Especially entering highways and heavy traffic streets. The main reason is we never know when it will stall or when it will accelerate what I believe is properly.

IT IS HARD TO DO THIS SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. THE MESSAGE DOES NOT TIME OUT AND COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN. THERE MUST DE A WAY TO DISABLE THIS OR TO HAVE IT TIME OUT. IT IS IRONIC THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISMISSES OTHER MESSAGES AND IT DOES NOT WORK FOR THAT ONE. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FIXED EASILY WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE.
