Consumer Description

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (APX. 70 MPH) ATTEMPT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE, AND UPON ACCELERATION, THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, AND WOULD NOT SPEED UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE TRUCK HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, AND IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO OCCUR IN THE RAIN, OR HIGH HUMIDITY DAYS. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT ON 3 OCCASION. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS TOLD ME TO USE "FUEL ADDITIVE" EVERY TIME I COMPLAIN, STATING THE PROBLEM IS WATER IN THE ETHANOL THAT IS BLENDED WITH GASOLINE IN TEXAS. I RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HAVING A FIX, THROUGH THE WEB, AND I AM NOW TOLD "THERE IS A FIX, BUT IT NOT A WARRATNY SITUATION"
