| Problem Category | Number of Problems |

| Automatic Transmission Column Shift problems | |
| Noises During Shifting problems |
While driving, vehicle will unexpectedly accelerate to very high rpms without warning. Problem occurs when vehicle stops at traffic lights, when brakes are applied, and also when in reverse. Vehicle is noisy and locked in 4x4 with o/d light blinking, dealer could not duplicate problem, cause unknown.
My vehicle will not run on reverse. I can shift perfectly fine to all my gears without any fussing or clunking noises coming from the gear shifts/transmission. But as soon as I try to put it on reverse my vehicle does not move, it seems like it's in neutral instead of reverse. At the moment of discovering my vehicle does not move in reverse it was stationary in park. I tried turning the vehicle on and off and tried messing with all the gears but to no avail.
