So there were like 6 recalls I took my truck in for on September 27, 2019. Well I get back the truck and everything seems to be fine. I went to bay 101 played a lily and left around 1:00 -1:15 am. As I got on 280 from 101 freeway as my foot is on the gas no where near the brakes, I'm going about 70 mph and all a sudden stalls out and drops to a speed of 55 mph and then picks up again without pressing more on the gas keeping it at the same position, and check engine light came on at the exact same time that happened. I have gotten all the recalls done and so I need to know how they messed up because my truck was running absolutely great until they touched it this time. I'm upset obviously like anyone would be. What can I do if this mess up is permanent and might leave my vehicle no op and leaving me with out transportation completely? And if there needs to be intense repairs I shouldn't have to pay for their mess ups right?

Hi,

Can you provide the last eight of your VIN or a list of recalls performed? I have the ability to look at the recalls but it depends on your VIN so that would be best.

Clearly we need to see what was done and then get the codes pulled to try and determine if they were related at all. Obviously this seems like the recalls caused this but unfortunately that is not always the case. Clearly having just been in we want to blame them but if the recalls were causing an issue, they would not be allowed to be performed. However, if they are related to what is happening, usually the OEM will offer what is called goodwill and help out with the repairs just because of the optics of it.

Before we get there we need to determine what was done and what is happening now. Send me the last eight of your VIN and if you can stop by a parts store and have the codes pulled so I can see what is happening then we can go from there. Thanks
