Consumer Description

ENGINE ACCELERATES SPORADICALLY ON ITS OWN. ENGINE OCCASIONALLY DIES AT STOP LIGHTS. MUST KEEP BRAKE PEDAL FIRMLY PUSHED AT STOP AS ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE TURBO. THE DEALER SAYS IT COULD BE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WRONG. THE 2003-2007 DIESELS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BAD TURBO, FUEL INJECTORS AND A HEAD BOLT PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES REMOVING THE CAB. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT NOW HAS 39000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
