Takata recall. While driving on a city street, truck suddenly lost power and shut off in the middle of an intersection, while I was turning. I tried several times to start it but nothing. I believed it to be the catalytic converter, and had it towed to a muffler shop. After fixing the problem truck still would not crank. I had to have it towed once again to my residence. Before this I would have to make 2-3 attempts to crank the truck before it would start. Also prior to this I noticed I have not been getting as good of gas mileage as I should and the truck would not accelerate as it should. I have done research and seen a number of people with my same model truck have several issues with their fuel pump.
Fuel pump went out while driving on the highway (very dangerous). Truck just die while driving. Have it check to learn the fuel pump is needs to replace. I did a little research and find out this is a common problem to this truck . . . Recall?.
During commute to work on 22 April 2014, as I was approaching a stoplight and pressed the brakes to slow down, the main console chimed, showed a message to check brakes, and I was able to press the brake lever to the floor. I was still able to stop prior to reaching the stoplight. I slowly returned home (about a mile) and was able to stop the truck nearby, though the brakes were no longer able to stop the vehicle while in drive. When placed on the flatbed tow truck, the driver noticed that the brake fluid was leaking onto the bed. At the dealership, the mechanics stated the brake lines were corroded and the entire system needed to be replaced behind the master cylinder. Additionally, I had asked them to inspect why I sometimes had difficulty starting the vehicle which was diagnosed as a faulty fuel pump. This could not be removed from the fuel tank (due to corrosion), and I was forced to replace the entire tank system to replace the pump.
My son brandon menard wanted a 4x4 truck so this guy nick lopez said his was for sale he could test drive it,well the 4x4 did not work on the truck the minute my son shifted it in to 4 wheel drive the tire rod and something else,so my daughters father paul s person works on vehicles and sales them too. Well I asked paul to help get my sons truck back from nick lopez and fix nicks truck so we could have a vehicle because we were sharing one vehicle. Nick wanted and paul wanted finally paul fixed nicks truck and when we got my son truck back it was making a noise,so paul said he thinks its the fuel pump no big deal,I said ok. He gave me and estimate to fix nicks truck of 2000. 00, well someone at paul"s was ripping me off it was only 600. 00 r around that amount. Well me and my husband were going through a bad divorce he had just sign over the title and registration to me,and it was left in glove box my fault,but he forged the documents plus cash a 500. 00 check that I stopped payment on. I made to police reports plus theres 2 911 calls where we r chasing him but the speed was getting out of hand I told my son to back off,we paid 1500. 00 for the truck our life is worth more. I got the complaint numbers cops did nothing. Went to dmv he tried twice there to switch it they turned him down,so he went to a title company in lafayette,la on johnston street and got it done. Plus I paid my insurance for six months ahead, I reported it to progressive they were mailing my refund check,he stole that and applied it back I think he r someone got in a wreck and tried to claim a insurance claim.
