    has any one had issues starting on an uphill slope? Noticed my 2018 MT trd pro has issues starting when parked uphill in my driveway instead of more level in my garage. If I roll it back in the driveway in neutral to get more level it will start. Have a call into my service folks but just wondering if anyone has had this issue and how it was resolved.

    Something with the fuel lines?
