| Description of the problem | Over the life of the vehicle to date 4 - 5 times the engine electrical system has shut down when the vehicle struck a large pothole, jarring the truck. The engine shut down and after putting the truck in neutral, i am able to start the engine again. The dealer has not been able to find any reason for this failure. After recent publicity concerning other vehicle shut downs resulting in the air bag system being disabled, i am concerned over the safety of the vehicle. |
