Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO POWER TO MY BRAKES OR STEERING AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER PLACED IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REMAINED WORKING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION I WAS SITTING AT STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED GREEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR THE AND THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME SINCE THERE WAS A SLIGHT DECLINE TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL WAS FINE, BUT THE ENGINE QUIT. FOR ALL SCENARIOS I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THE ENGINE STOPPED BESIDES THE BRAKES AND STEERING HAD NO POWER. THE ENGINE JUST SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING,
