Consumer Description

BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE ON OCCASION. THAT LEAD TO LOSING COMPLETE POWER WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH) AS WELL AS LOSING COMPLETE POWER WHILE AT IDLE OR SLOW SPEEDS.

TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED, HOWEVER THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL (07V521000) DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 2001 WITH AN 8.1 L. I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED AT A COST OF $375. *TR
