CONSUMER STARTED THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ENGAGED IN LOWER GEAR, WITH OUT PUSHING THE CLUTCH, THE VEHICLE HIT A WALL ,AND BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. *AK THE CONSUMERS WIFE PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH AND STARTED THE VEHICLE, NOT REALIZING THAT THE TRUCK WAS LEFT IN FIRST GEAR INSTEAD OF SETTING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, SHE RELEASED THE CLUTCH. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY JERKED DIRECTLY INTO THE WALL IN FRONT OF IT. THIS CAUSED BOTH AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE SIDE AIR BAG SWITCH BEING IN THE OFF POSITION, AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ANYWAY. *SCC *JB

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE UNTIL SPEEDS OF 58-60 ARE REACHED - WHEN ACCELERATING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR THE COMPLAINT. DEALER TECH SAID VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT DURING 'AGRESSIVE ACCELERATING' . DRIVER MUST EASE UP ON GAS PEDAL BEFORE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT TO OVERDRIVE. SAID THIS WAS NORMAL. NEVER HEARD OF AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH SUCH REQUIREMENTS. NONE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED REQUIRED AN EASING UP ON GAS IN ORDER TO SHIFT. WHEN I FOLLOWED DEALERS INSTRUCTIONS, VEHICLE WILL STILL NOT SHIFT UNTIL IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS, I CAN'T GET INTO OVERDRIVE FOR THE TRIPS I TAKE, SO THE OVERDRIVE DOES ME NO GOOD. VEHICLE GETS VERY POOR MILEAGE AS A RELULT. DON'T THINK THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES (SINCE OCT 2002) BECAUSE OF SUCH DRIVING CONDITIONS AND POOR MILEAGE.*AK
