Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK SPEEDOMETER GOES BLANK, THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH, AIRBAG AND EVENTUALLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT STARTS LOSING POWER. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND ALLOW THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LIGHTS ARE OUT BUT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THERE IS STILL LITTLE POWER SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AN THEN THE POWER KICKS IN AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4-5 TIMES, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFE HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *JS
