Description of the problem	While attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle on a two lane road, the engine on my truck started sputtering, then lost speed and power very rapidly. At that point the check engine light started blinking and the truck almost stalled. Fortunately i was able to pull into a parking lot and avoid other drivers. Had an oncoming car been too close, or had i not had a parking lot to pull into, there was a strong possibility i would have had an accident. I have had this happen to a lesser degree in the past, but not to the extent i experienced above, nor did the check engine light ever start blinking. At the time i passed this off as being bad gas, my tires slipping or some other issue and thought no more of it. At this point i don't want others to get put into the same situation, which could result in someone getting hurt. Because reports of this happening to trucks of the same year, make, model and engine i felt compelled to file this complaint.
