| Description of the problem | While driving on a highway, i went to pass another car. The transmission downshifted, and the rpm increased, until the engine/car began shuddering and slowed down, with the check engine light blinking. I was able to pull off the highway at the nearest exit, and after a period of time in idle, the engine regained its normal idle speed and operation. Checking codes pulled up a p0302, indicating a cylinder 2 misfire. No issues were found with the spark plugs, coil or cables for cylinder 2. This is a dangerous failure that appears to be affecting other owners of this truck, and could cause potential for injury or death, if the engine stalls at the wrong time. |
