What owners wrote
While driving on the freeway the accelerator got stuck causing us to have an accident. As the truck increased in speed my husband stomped on the break and the truck was only gaining speed. We placed the truck on park and the truck eventually came to a stop causing the truck an immediate stop and forced us down a hill. The truck was totaled because we were pulling a 5th wheel.
When engaged in cruise control engine malfunctioned. As a result, power steering and power brakes failed. Cruise control was set at 35 MPH. Then when vehicle was running downhill, consumer allowed the vehicle to increased speed up to 40 MPH; however, at that point the engine malfunctioned which also LED to the loss of power steering and power brakes. Another incident occurred when consumer was driving at 52 MPH in a hairpin curve. See odi 10083767 also. *dsy
