Have had issues with power loss while driving and lose steering and brakes capabilities. Have replaced fuel pump and fuel connectors 2 times and now again having fuel pump problems as the truck again lost power while driving and steering and brakes did not operate, causing me to nearly hit a pedestrian because of this. This is very dangerous. Dates of these incident are 12/21/03, 7/13/04 and the latest was 6/5/06. Previous repairs were done 12/23/03, 7/13/04 and have not yet brought it in to repair again as last incident happened last night.

Started up the vehicle and was running rough when out on the highway, vehicle just stopped. Had to be towed to the dealer. Had been diagnosed that the #3 and #4 engine cylinders had misfired. Also, replaced the fuel injectors #3 and #4, and spark plugs. Several days later the same problem. This time the #4 engine cylinder again failed. Contaminated fuel, replaced the fuel pump. Contacted dealer and manufacturer.
