problem #2

F-250 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 136,290 miles
The trucks engine will completely stall when the fuel tank is low on fuel and the truck comes to a quick stop such as a red light or at an intersection. The truck will also stall when the fuel tank is low on fuel and the truck is slowing down or stopping on a decline. The stalled truck must be stopped, the transmission must be put back into "park, " and the vehicle restarted before proceeding with travels. On two occasions, the truck has stalled unexpectedly in an intersection, nearly resulting in a collision from vehicles following too closely behind. The stalling does not occur when the trucks fuel tank level is above a quarter tank and the vehicle is brought to a quick stop, or slowed and/or stopped while heading down a decline.
