| Description of the problem | While driving, idling or coming to a stop with foot on the brake, the truck will lose power and shut off without warning. It happens constantly so it's not a reliable vehicle to drive to work or anywhere else. I have 2 kids that drive in the vehicle as well as a travel trailer that's pulled and it's unacceptable to happen. I've replaced parts i thought would fix it several times on several different occasions. It's shut off while turning onto a street or into a business so i'm just sitting in the middle of the road with cars driving towards me. It seems like a waiting game before an accident happens. I don't understand why there is no recall on this. There's forums with tons of people that this has happened to and people spend thousands of dollars to troubleshoot with the issue being unfixed. Also, this wasn't one incident. It happens constantly. |
