When central port fuel injector is shut off vehicle would leak raw fuel into the plantium. This causes the fuel pump to lose power. Takes awhile before restarting. Also, allows fumes to enter vehicle while still running. Owner feels fuel is still leaking. Had replaced central port fuel injector once under warranty. Manufacturer will not replace 2nd time.

Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
When applying brakes pedal went all the way to the floor. Vehicle was coasting and lost power in brakes usage. Dealership was aware of the problem.
In high heat of texas (since my move here lst summer), it seems my transmission cooler clicks into service as designed when engine temps get too hot, my speed decreases but I can hear my engine revs increasing, but I lose all drive power when it does, it has only happened when temps are above the mid 90s, last time I was pulling my trailer at 65 MPH going up a short hill on an expressway and I lost all power before getting to the top, my speed decreased to 30 MPH, I had no way to warn drivers behind me, who ere going 65+, that I was slowing down, my fear is someone would ram into my rear end ..... Have brought this to the dealer 4 times now, if, as I have been told, there is not a defect, then it seems we have a huge design flaw
Egr valve, egr gasket, egr prom (egr system) failed several times causing loss of power.
Egr valve sticks causing loss of power and stalling on several occasions.
Egr valve failed, causing vehicle to surge, loss of power brakes, and an accident.
