| Description of the problem | A light came on and it started losing power. Took it to the shop and was told it was bad gas. I put the cleaner in it and it didn't fix it. I had some buddies tell me to unplug my battery because it sounded like a safety feature. So i did. The light went off and the truck acted right for a few miles then started doing the same thing. Vehicle was in motion on the highway. My buddies referred to it as a "limp mode" or something like that. I was afraid to have it worked on because i was told if there was a recall the manufacturer wouldn't be liable. |
