A mechanic at professional auto shop diagnosed the failed TIPM. It caused the fuel sending pump in the fuel tank to stop pumping. The truck stalled while driving on the highway leaving me stranded in 2-degree weather. I read online that there was a lawsuit for this issue but don't know how to file to recoup the $1200+ repair bill on top of the $200 cost to tow it to the auto repair shop. There was an electrical draw and emergency flashers randomly turning on causing the batteries to die a month prior to the failure of the TIPM. I did have the check engine light come on when the fuel pump was cutting out and stalling. The truck is currently in the shop, and they ordered a new remanufactured TIPM.

I purchased truck around march 1, 2014 with 48415 miles, on march 14,2014 we were on the interstate with a 4 horse trailer in tow when the vehicle stalled without warning, vehicle shuttered, check engine light came on. We started to pull over then we regained power. We called the dealership that we purchased it from when we got to our destination, they told us to power off for 15 minutes and restart with the remote starter, this took the check engine light off. The same problem occured on may 1, 2015, interstate with horse trailer in tow again. This time we noticed the fuel dropped and the fuel milage indicator started flickering, we let off the fuel peddle and repressed regaining power, about 1 mile down the road it happened again the shutter was harder, we had to tap the fuel peddle 2 time to regain power. We notice the miletoempty went from 90 to 60 when it happened. Both occasions we had been traveling for about 100 miles with about 30 or 40 miles being on the interstate at about 70-75 mile per hour, when the problem accured. Both times we completed our round trip of 600 miles with worry!!!
