“Over the course of the last 3 months I have experienced different problems with the emissions on my truck. It started with replacing the sensor in the tail pipe then that led to loosing power while pulling my 25 foot goose neck trailer. On 7 different occasion I lost power while hooked up to my trailer. It happens with no warning either on hills or on a straight away. Two of the cases almost led to a wreck because semi's were following me to closely and when I lost power I immediately turned on my flashers and they were either able to get around me or lock up their brakes without hitting me. …”
