“The PCM at 34,000 miles caused two fuel pumps to burn out in 4 days. A wrench warning symbol appeared on the dash and the vans engine dies while going at high speed (we pull a pressure washing trailer holding with hazardous chemicals & water). If it was raining or even heavy traffic this could cause a dangerous life threatening crash. On wet roads these heavy commercial vehicles can easily hydro-plain when this occurs putting the driver & others in danger who may be in the path. …”
