| Description of the problem | On 1/25/16, in the rain, at 6 am, i pulled out from a side street near my residence on to a major road and was increasing speed. I traveled about 150 yards and was up to about 40 mph. My truck suddenly decelerated to about 5 mph very quickly causing my car to skid in the rain. There was no accident since traffic was light at the time, so i pulled into the median and put the truck in park to see what was happening and i could not discover anything wrong. I then put the truck in gear and tried to accelerate again but the car would speed up to about 15 mph and then decelerate very quickly, almost giving it a bucking motion. After a few seconds the truck seemed to want to die, it would move and then seem to want to stop and die, and then repeat the process. I was able to get to the side of the road and park in a parking lot. I had my truck towed to the dealer and the dealer looked at it but said they couldn't find anything and had never heard of that happening to anyone before. I looked on the nhtsa site and found that many people had had this occur in this model. The work order received from the dealer did not indicate that anything was adjusted or replaced. To date it has not reoccurred. |
