File date	20/08/14
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On multiple occasions, while at low speed (pulling into an intersection from a red light or stop sign), the engine idle drops and the engine stalls. I have to brake with my left foot and keep the engine idle up by pressing on the gas to keep from stalling. I have been almost rear ended several times and do not trust the truck. After reading the complaints and research on the truck, this happens a lot and is dangerous. When i talked to the dealer, they say they are not aware of any problems like this and they would be happy to diagnose the truck (for $125. 00) and go from there. From what i have read, it seems they want to exchange parts and charge for the service.
