| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: During a routine morning commute, i noticed the check engine light had illuminated. immediately following the malfunction, i noticed a severe decrease in engine power and the engine started to vibrate and mis-fire heavily. i was in heavy traffic and had to pull off of the road to avoid a potential accident situation. i then shut the truck off, and re-started the vehicle to possibly re-set the light. the engine started and seemed to run smoothly again, but the light stayed illuminated. it was 7am, so i decided to very slowly drive to the dealership where i had purchased the truck. the technician performed a diagnosis, and found a hard code of p2146 insulate ficm. i was then told that the main fuel injector system wiring harness had chaffed on a factory installed bracket and that it would need to be replaced. i was then told that they did not have the parts in stock, and that i would have to wait for one week to have the parts replaced. in the meantime, the technician stated that he had "insulated" the harness, and that the light was out. he stated that i should be able to drive the truck without any issues, but if the check engine light comes on again and i also receive a "low power" message on the annunciator panel in the dashboard, that i must park the truck and get a rental vehicle until the parts arrive and repairs can be made. the technician stated that this would cause four of the eight cylinders to shut down and cause a lean engine fuel condition which could result in engine failure. as of yet, parts to be replaced within one weeks time. *nm |
