Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND STARTED HEARING THE TRUCKS UNDERCARRIAGE START TO RATTLE AND GRIND ON THE BUMPS OF THE ROAD. I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON ENGINE AND IT WOULDNT RESPOND TO MY PRESSING ON THE GAS. I BELIEVED THAT I HAD GAS IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE GAUGE READ HALF FULL AND APPARENTLY I WAS OUT OF GAS. SO I PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION AND AS SOON AS WE FILLED UP, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START! I SAW THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND HAD TO ASK FOR A JUMPSTART TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. AT ANOTHER TIME AND DATE AGAIN THE TRUCK WENT DEAD, I ASKED FOR A JUMPSTART AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. I NOW HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY BECAUSE THE CAR DAMAGED THE ORIGINAL BATTERY AND NOW WITH THE NEW BATTERY INSTALLED MY CAR STARTS BUT WILL NOT STAY ON WITHOUT ME PRESSING ON THE GAS WHILE IN PARK GEAR. I BELIEVE SOMETHING MAY BE DEFECTIVE WITH THE ELECTRICAL GAUGES, FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND SUSPENSION. *TR
