At approximatlely 50-60 mph the car has a engine miss. Car loses power that can last for a second or more. Problem is a intermittent one. I have had it to the dealer at least 5 times. They have replaced the computer and the mass air sensor but the problem still happens. It seems to happen more when the truck is under load going up a hill, passing.
