Consumer Description

MY TRUCK HAS THE 2.7 ENGINE. WHILE TOWING OUR TRAILER LONGER DISTANCES THE TRUCK WILL STALL WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY OR STOPPING FOR FUEL. IT WILL NOT RESTART WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND DROPPING IT INTO DRIVE. ITS VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT BE IN A INTERSECTION AND CANNOT STEER IT BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRIC STEERING. THIS HAS BEEN A ONGOING ISSUE SINCEE IT WAS NEW AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. ITS TO THE POINT THAT I DONT FEEL SAFE TOWING WITH THIS TRUCK ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY IN IT.
