What owners wrote
Horn didn't blow loud enough and I hit a grasshopper. Took the grasshopper to the emergency vet clinic for stitches. This cost me 110 dollars.
Under normal operation the gas pedal stops responding,the check engine light comes on and after about 30 seconds the engine shuts off. I have to stop , put the truck in park , turn off the key and restart the truck. This resets the computer and the truck seems fine for a while till it happens again. This has happened several times mostly on back roads. Today it happened while I was entering a busy highway. I was almost hit by on coming traffic.
