| Description of the problem | I was heading down my street in my neighborhood and just before the street bends to the left my truck stalled and i lost my power brakes and power steering. Doing the best i could i turned the wheel just enough to avoid the car parked on the side of the street then i proceeded to run through my neighbor's wrought iron gate and plaster coming to rest on the hill in his front yard. After assessing the damage, i tried to start my truck to see if i could move it. It started and i moved it to my driveway. After the repairs were done at the body shop i then took it to my mechanic where he discovered a faulty wire in the wire harness causing the engine to stall without any notice or signs of trouble. Later i learned from my insurance company that there was a recall for the 2004-2005 models for the wire harness specifically, that i never received any information on. |
