Consumer Description

The Turbo Actuator failed while driving on a two-lane highway without a shoulder to safely pull over. The truck lost power down to a maximum speed of 10mph until I could safely pull off of the highway. The problem has been diagnosed with a OBD2 scanner. No other inspections by police or insurance. The MIL did not turn on until the vehicle was pulled off of the highway and at a stop.
