| Description of the problem | The first time this happened, i was turning at an intersection and the truck just stalled. No warning or check engine light nothing. I had no power steering or brakes. Luckily no one hit us or we didn't hit anyone. My husband and brother pushed the truck into a near by parking lot. After about 20 min. The truck started back up. Three days later i was driving down the street pulling a trailer. The truck stalled again i was able to get it to roll into a parking lot. It started back up. We took it to a mechanic. He couldn't find a code on it. This continued to happen quite often. The mechanic finally changed out a sensor , that cost us $385. 00. After a week the check engine light came on. The mechanic said the code could be several things and i don't have the money to keep changing things that are not working. So now if i let my fuel tank get down less than a half tank the truck misses and tries to cut out like its not getting enough fuel. I can't even drive it because i am afraid it will stall and i am a small women. I can't fight it with no power steering and brakes. |
