Description of the problem | Today, monday, march 6th, 2017; i was driving to work; a couple of miles from my house my vehicle stalled without warning. Luckily for me, it was a low-speed area and i was able to stop on the side of the road. My truck did not turn on again despite several attempts. I called a tow and it took it to a shop. I left the truck the entire day. At the end of the day they gave it back to me saying it worked again and that apparently there was a mal-function with the relay system. They said the gas-pump was not working and suddenly when they were checking the tpim it worked by itself. They could only recommend to take it to the dealer for a more profound check. I recalled i got a carfax not so long ago and going back to it i found out about the tpim failures... This is a very serious issue and with a very high risk of serious injury to the vehicle occupants. I work in manufacturing supplying parts to different oem's and in the pfmea (potential failure mode and effects analysis) this would have a severity of 10!!! I will file all the complaints and will call the nhts to get my tpim replaced asap! I really hope they can make this quickly. If i can get another car i will do but i will not take my family on the truck for sure. |
