Vehicle stabilitrack and traction control lights came on. Engine warning light came on. While attempting to turn the vehicle onto a highway acceleration ramp, the car steering wheel locked and the engine died. Could not unlock the power steering. I was towing a horse trailer well within the gross weight for the vehicle. I had a horse in the trailer at the time. I also had children in the car. After a few minutes, I was able to start the vehicle and pull into a safer area. I was not able to tow the trailer home but I was able to get the vehicle home. The car hesitated and chugged along surging into each gear. While at a stop the vehicle hesitated and the engine sputtered. I had to put the truck in neutral and put my foot on the accelerator so the car engine would not die. The transmission would surge each time I stepped on the gas. Limited turning radius on the vehicle and I was not able to make a sharp turn without a grinding noise.

When driving the truck the lights would dim and then have a loss of power. Didn't think much of it until one day getting out of the vehicle and shutting it off I went to put the key back in the ignition and there was no power what so ever no dome lights nothing... No clicks no dash lights nothing. Then had someone jump me power and truck started right away. Same day had my battery checked and alternator and everything came out fine nothing was wrong with it. Happened again about a week later but this time truck hesitated when key was turned then it did not start reset the clock in the truck and then had lights dimming everytime blinkers were turned on. Got home and had a feeling truck would not start if I took the key out sure enough everything was dead when I tried turning it back on. Had to jump it again. When that happened I got the battery replaced thinking it was faulty. Two weeks went by and it was fine then after punching on the gas a little to pass a semi the locks went up and down really fast and had lights dim again no message on the dash or anything. I got home and truck did not start again. Jumped it again then a week later going to work on the freeway the truck had extremely bad tremors and then the locks started locking and unlocking again the lights and stereo were going on and off and ABS light came on and vehicle kept going into neutral and drive every other few seconds witch caused a concern for my safety. Good thing I was only a few miles away from home. I turned around went home and sure enough turned it off put the key back in and no power . Explained failure to a dealership and said possibility was the ECM. And they could do nothing unless it was duplicated.
