In owners’ own words

Power train mileage not reported 7 mo in service
Vibration between 25 & 45mph Confirmed by dealer technician possible transmission issue. First noticed on drive home after purchase. No incidents yet
Power train mileage not reported 10 mo in service
Transmission experienced rough shifting from reverse to drive immediately followed by the inability to access gears 1-5. The transmission was within normal operating temperatures per the onboard temp readings. Going into park or neutral did not fix the issue. Stopping and restarting the engine allowed access to lower gears briefly, but once the vehicle shifted up, it could no longer access the lower gears. Shortly after this, the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle went into limp mode.
Power train mileage not reported 10 mo in service
TRUCK IS ACTING LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. WILL REV SUPER HIGH WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60, AS WELL AS NOT GOING FROM A STAND STILL. SHIFTING USING THE MANUAL MODE DOES NOT HELP IT AT ALL, AS IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUES. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE TRUCK IS HAVING HARD SHIFTS AND COMES OUT OF GEAR WHILE MOVING AND STOPPED.
Electrical system mileage not reported 11 mo in service
All the windows make a rattling noise when they're rolled halfway down when hitting bumps.
