Consumer Description

I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. THE RPM WAS FINE, HOWEVER ON THE SPEEDOMETER IT KEPT GOING UP AND DOWN (MY MPH WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE), AND IT FELT LIKE SOME ONE WAS PUMPING THE BRAKES (LIGHTLY). I TRIED ACCELERATING BUT ALL IT DID WAS MAKE A SCREECHING SOUND. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO PREVENT CARS FROM REAR ENDING ME AND PLACED IN PARK. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON AT THIS POINT AND PULLED BACK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. A FEW DAYS LATER, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NO ISSUES. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING AS I WAS EXITING I35.
