I entered the intersection after stopping at the stop sign. i was halfway through the divided intersection that had a road closed sign for the exit side of the intersection and a do not enter sign for the entrance side. the median was over grown with vegetation so that visibility was poor. i started across the intersection and about half way through a car entering at fast rate of speed hit the front of my truck knocking to the left. the airbag deployed and i was thrown to the right and the engine went to full speed. the truck hit a palm tree.

My truck should have no issues as i follow the maintenance schedule and take good care of my vehicle but it has happened twice where i was in the middle of the interstate when my vehicle displayed the check engine light, traction off, stabiltrac off, the airvents stopped blowing cool air and released humidity, brakes were not functioning properly (hard to actually break), steering wheel/power steering was malfunctioning making it almost impossible to turn or get out of traffic and it seems the vehicle just decided to suddenly stall while in motion. i was very lucky due to sudden high risk of a vehicle crash and was able to pull over without getting anyone hurt. i turned the vehicle off once i got in park and looked under the hood, everything was fine showing no issues but i went to start the vehicle and it did not crank or try to turn over but all electronics/lights were still working. i check all fluid levels, all was fine and then i went to try one more time to start the vehicle. to my surprise, it started up just fine and with only the check engine light on and not reading any other messages. all functions were working properly but i was too scared to go anywhere without having an idea what just happened. i went to the closest trusted auto place that would be able to use a scanner to find the trouble codes of my check engine light. the code was for a malfunction with the internal control module (code: p0601). this has happened to me twice in the last week and its very scary to feel at risk for a sudden malfunction to cause a crash. after researching, i noticed that there was a recall bulletin no: 14515b, that had covered pretty much the same issues and for my vehicle's year/model. my vin didn't register for any recalls, i don't understand how other vehicles are getting qualified in order to prevent the same issues i'm experiencing. *tr

Oil consumption issue with 5.3 l v8 engine. uses 4 qts of oil between 5000 mile oil change. started at 95352 miles when warning light came on saying oil pressure was extremely low. found out truck only had 2 qts of oil left in it. oil life reading was still at 7%. then engine started fouling cylinder one spark plug noticed by engine code and sluggish driving. dealer replaced, fouled again. dealer replaced left valve cover to fix, fouled plug again. dealer suggested piston ring job. not done due to cost. now has fouled plug two more times and is still using 4 qts oil between 5000 mile oil changes. only 119816 miles currenly.
Engine light would come on and engine would not be operating properly.apeared to be misfiring. it was taken in to the dealership four different times and diagnosed with cylinder misfire oil fouled spark plug each time. problem persisted until we were informed by the dealership after the warranty expired it would need a new engine. manufacture and dealership were unhelpful and did not accept responsibility for a defective engine. there is a class action lawsuit pending for this model and type engine with others experiencing the same problems.
