Consumer Description
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk?: The truck just stalls and dies without warning, all lights go off inside and outside and all power is lost. From digging on the internet, I found out the problem is due to one or more rusty/defective connection to ground which stops current from flowing and therefore stalls the vehicle and turns everything off. When the truck stalls, power steering and power assisted breaks are not available and this makes the truck very difficult to guide/stop for most people, making it a significant safety risk to occupants as well as others as the likelyhood of a collision increases significantly. In addition, since all electric accessories are disconnected, warning/flashing lights can not be turned on to advise others that the truck has stopped. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The problem is hard to reproduce because it happens at random times, it has happened to me at least 5 times in the last month or so. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NO Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO warning messages or other symptom.
