“In the last 2 months my truck has lost all electric power while making a slow right turn. Voltage drops and I lose power steering. Dealership put a new battery despite there being an active recall for this exact issue. However, my VIN number is not included in the recall. I was able to video it happening. It happens when the vehicle is in motion”

NHTSA complaint #11205163, filed 2019-05, 125,000 miles“When driving recently, my check engine light started flashing along with my stabilitrak light coming on. The vehicle started vibrating. The vibrating was especially rough while idle. The vibration was also rough while in lower gears and while braking. When brought in for service I was told it was a corroded ignition coil. This is the second time this has happened. I bought the vehicle new and it currently has about 37,000 miles on it.”
