| Description of the problem | The truck just stalls out occasionally when you're going around a corner in city traffic (around 15mph). The truck loses power steering and brakes. Its really hard to steer a vehicle that big without when it stalls out and my wife was lucky to not get hit from behind or crash into another vehicle. The dealer has replaced the egr valve twice and replaced the ecm, once in 2007 and then this year. Hopefully, this will fix the issue permanently, but i have my doubts. |
