Consumer Description

WHILE TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER IN 98 DEGREE HEAT, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. THE VEHICLE TURBO WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VARIABLE VANES LOCKING IN POSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION WITH THE DURAMAX LMM ENGINE. ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY PULLING A TRAILER THIS CREATES A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER TRAFFIC AS THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED IS UNEXPECTED. WARRANTY WAS DENIED ALTHOUGH THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. *TR
