What owners wrote
My truck on multiple occasions was driving than immediately lost power and shut off after sending it to the dealership and them replacing the throttle body it was still doing this with a rattle noise. It got to the point where my truck at 52,000 miles did this exact thing again and blew white smoke and a hole now is in the oil pan.
Engine goes into limp mode on the road, street or highway with no warning. Engine shuts down. Dealer installed new throttle body for the third time!
