Consumer Description

THE MOTOR SUDDENLY DIED AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHER STARTED SPRAYING , THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED OPERATING AND LOST POWER STEERING. I FINALLY COASTED THE TRUCK INTO A VACANT LOT AND STOPPED. SMOKE WAS BOILING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND THE FUSE BOX(TIPM MODULE) SMOKING. I RUSHED TO MY TOOL BOX FOR TOOLS AND AT THAT TIME THE TRUCK MOTOR STARTED CRANKING AND TRYING TO START EVEN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. LUCKILY THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN GEAR AND I FINALLY GOT ALL BATTERY CABLES UNHOOKED FROM BOTH BATTERIES. ALSO THE HORN WAS HONKING INTERMITTENTLY AS IF THE THEFT ALARM WAS ACTIVATED. AS OF TODAY (6-9-14) THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR (4) TIMES. *TR
