Consumer Description

I WAS HAULING A 24' ENCLOSED CAR TRAILER FROM SAN DIEGO TO LAS VEGAS. IT WAS LOADED WITH A CAR THAT I HAD JUST PICKED UP FROM THE PAINTER AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IT BACK HOME. AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE VICTORVILLE AREA ON INTERSTATE 15 THE ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE A MISFIRE OR STUMBLE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT AN ALERT MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH REGARDING AN EXHAUST EMISSION SERVICE WAS NEEDED. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE TRUCK STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ANOTHER WARNING APPEARED REGARDING A SERVICE ELECTRONIC IGNITION WAS NEEDED AND THEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS THREE LANES OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC BEFORE BARELY BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A RELATIVELY SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. IT WOULDN'T THEN RESTART SO WE WERE STRANDED ABOUT 200 MILES FROM LAS VEGAS.
