2nd time that the a/c compressor motor has stuck and engine started smoking...also egr has been a problem as well as air bags and emergency brake no longer holds the vehicle...
As i was traveling the highway, my engine starting smoking. i was extremely fortunate that i was coming up on a service center/grocery store in idaho. there was indication on my dash instruments that my truck was operating abnormally, other than the smoke sifting through the hood. upon my pulling over onto the the side, i opened the hood with used of heavy gloves and a towel and checked to see if radiator had fluid as the indicator light had read normal. as expected, coolant spewed out. i immediately closed it and waited for it tobe towed into idaho falls to be checked by a shop that i was familiar with.
Truck shakes so violently after hitting a bump and going 50mph or greater. i have to slow down to almost a complete stop before it stops shaking. it has happened many times.
Ignition will not crank. we have 2 keys for it, neither works the first time. takes 10-30 minutes to get the key to turn. i have seen there are recalls for ignitions for the same year, make and model as ours. our vin does not come up as having the recall.
