    ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IN EACH CASE I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. UPON STARTING UP AND TURNING, THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED IN FIRST GEAR, MOTOR REVVING 4,000 - 4,500 RPM OR SO, UNTIL I REALIZED I HAD A PROBLEM. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND LET THE TRUCK SLOW DOWN, IT WAS STILL IN FIRST GEAR, ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP, TRIED TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE BUT STILL NO SHIFT. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A FULL STOP, THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATED AGAIN, STILL NO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I AGAIN CAME TO A FULL STOP, THIS TIME PUT THE SELECTOR KNOB INTO PARK, THEN BACK INTO DRIVE MODE AND ACCELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION WORKED FINE. AFTER THE FIRST FOUR EPISODES I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN THE SAME DAY. FIRST THING THE SERVICE REP DID IS CHECK FOR A OBD CODE, NO CODE WAS GENERATED. DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR FOUR DAYS AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. SINCE I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK ONE MORE EPISODE HAS OCCURRED. NOW I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN. ALSO, ONE OTHER THING SHOULD MENTION EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS AT NIGHT. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT EACH EPISODE HAPPENED IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC, HAD IT BEEN IN A BUSY OR HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA IT COULD HAVE CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
