I'm hoping that someone here can help me out because it sure seems that my dealer is completely useless!!!

I have an '05 screw with 30K miles. Off and on for the last 6 months, occasionally when coming to a stop, my truck will die suddenly but will also start right back up. Now, for the last two weeks, I don't want to even drive it, NOW it will just completely stop WHILE I'm driving down the road. I just had my 30K maintence (oil chg, oil filter, fuel filter, etc.) Dealer says they can't "duplicate" the problem. Not sure how they can't , all they gotta do is drive the damn thing! Not to mention when I had my oil change, it had used up all the damn oil...seems i'm being told 1 quart per 900-1200 miles is now "normal"....wow!

They had my truck for 10 days, picked it up today and it happened on my way home. I'm in a rental and they are coming to back to get my truck on Monday.......I'm hopeful someone can give me some ideas to give to them!!!!!! HELP!!!

 

my girlfriends car was doin the same thing with shutting off and it was a vacuum leak. i dont no if that helps.

 

That sucks man. All I can say is try a different dealer. You might find one that's actually competent. Also, that's not normal for your truck to use that much oil. My 01' 4.2L hasn't hardly used a drop between oil changes unless I drive it hard in the Summer heat. I'd tell them that's BS, and call the BBB.

 

You must have a dirty throttle body and air regulator valve, you should buy a throttle body cleaner spray follow the procedure described in the can. I had the same problem with my truck. I just clean the throttle and air flow regulator and the problem was solved.

 

I had one of my cars do that to me and it was the O2 sensor. Whenever I would stop or let off the gas to coast it would shut down on me, but it would always turn back on.
