Description of the problem | Problem started with the radio display blinking off when i pressed brake pedal or activated turn signals. Thought this was strange, but did not think of it as a safety concern. I then got stuck in a little rush hour traffic on the highway, i noticed while holding the brake on for extended periods of time the transmission would down shift extremely hard and just acting strange all together. Traffic was moving approx 30 mph when the radio blinked off the doors locked, unlocked then locked again. A message flashed on the dash something stabilitrak then started shifting extremely hard again. I was on the interstate and no where safely to pull over. I was traveling with my 4 year old child and had some serious safety concerns at this point. No more than a mile later, while in the same stop and go traffic and apply the brakes, the radio blinked off and the truck shut down completely while traveling around 30-35 mph in traffic with a tractor trailer behind me. I was able to shift the truck to neutral to start the truck and continue to the next exit. When slowing down the truck started to sputter out almost to a stall and quickly flashing a stabilitrak message and the dash blinking off, until i released my foot off the brake. I called to have a family member come pick my child up as i had serious safety concerns of my child being in the vehicle. I continued to my appointment which involved accessing the turnpike through toll booths. While slowing down to enter the toll plaza the truck did the same thing radio blinked off, dash displays blinked off, sputtering the steering wheel at this point ripped out of my hand almost causing a collision, stabilitrak message appearing. Once i got to my destination the truck sat for approx 2 hours. My return trip was normal and did not have any issues. This truck is a death trap with this problem occurring. |
