Consumer Description

I HAD A SUDDEN JUMP IN MY RPMS AND ACCELERATOR MALFUNCTION I HAD TO CAREFULLY GUIDE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER IT DIED I COULD NOT START IT. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING, THE 4LO FLASHING AND TRACTION'S ALL FLASHING. I STILL HAD ELECTRICAL BUT NO POWER. I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO ALMOST HIT ME AND MY DAUGHTER. THESE TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE KNOW FOR THEIR LIFE SPAN AND SAFETY. THIS IS NOT WHAT I CALL SAFE BY ANY MEANS.
