Consumer Description

TRUCK BEGAN TICKING VERY LOUDLY, THEN BEGAN A KNOCKING NOISE, AND NOW THE ENGINE SHAKES THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING. CAM PHASERS BROKE APART CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIMING CHAIN. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AS WELL AS INABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHILE ASCENDING AN INCLINE IS FREQUENT. THE LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER HAS CAUSED US SEVERAL CLOSE-CALL ACCIDENTS. TRUCK WILL SIMPLY NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK CANNOT CATCH GEARS WHILE IN MOTION.
