Description of the problem	the vehicle lost power at approx. 65mph engine went into idle mode without any warning. I was able to avoid other vehicles on the interstate and coasted to a stop . The engine remained in idle mode and when the accelerator was pressed the engine did not increase in rpms. I turned the off the engine and when trying to restart in turned over, but would not fire up. After a couple of tries it finally started and i drove home. The second incident occurred on dec. 26th 2011. The truck was driven to the store without any problems after returning and trying to start it up the engine would not fire. Finally after a couple of tries it finally started and i drove approx. Two miles , pulled into the driveway and it went into idle mode again. I turned the engine off but it will now not restart. I will have to get it towed to a repair shop, this could have had very serious consequences . The interstate traffic was lite and i was able to switch lanes even though i was coasting without power with the engine idling. A couple of vehicles had to hit the brakes as i moved over. If i had come to a stop in the middle of the interstate without power it could have easily resulted in a major accident. With the potential loss of life or serious injury.
