ENGINE
Owner Narrative
Had to stop urgently, and my truck shut off. I had to shift it into park to get it started again. Was in the middle of a 4 lane section of route one traveling with traffic at the time. I was a sitting duck until I could figure out what happened. (Iâm a mechanic, if the average person was dealing with this I donât know if they would have been able to get moving as quickly.) It acted like the torque converter stayed locked while I came to a complete stop stopping the engine at the same time. No shuddering or anything obvious. Engine wasnât running when I came to a stop. i only noticed because it was abnormally quiet and didnât move when I stepped on the throttle. Iâve owned this truck since the end of July 2025, it was a brand new left over 2024, currently has around 8,500 miles on it)
