Consumer Description

TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING OR NOTICE. I COME TO A STOP OR TURN AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. POWER STEERING IS LOST AND EVEN THOUGH IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WHEN PUT ON NEUTRAL IT HAS STARTED TO WORRY ME TO THE POINT WHERE I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR FEAR THIS MAY HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD THROTTLE WORK DONE AND WIRES REPLACED BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING AND NO CODES APPEAR AS TO WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO CANNOT TELL ME THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.
