    2.3 Sport mode not downshifting

    I have a Limited with the 2.3 and notice when using sport mode you can accelerate fine but then while the truck slows down it acts like it is stuck in that gear. Does eventually downshift but hangs on for awhile. Anyone else noticing this?

    Gear shift lever shifting

    Sometimes it is hard to shift the gear shift lever from position "P" to position "N" despite pressing the brake pedal. I have observed this, especailly when the vehicle is parked with the front wheels slightly elevated than the rear wheels. Is it normal?
