“I was driving my truck a long distance yesterday and was on the interstate when this incident occurred, approximately 2 hours after killing the engine to get fuel. The check engine light came on, I was driving 70 MPH at the time. Shortly after, a warning came up on my display stating engine power degraded . I was on a mountain pass in the middle of nowhere and noticed the throttle was very slow, I couldnt speed up and that was very scary since I was on the interstate. I had to coast to the nearest dealer in aubun wa which was about 25 min away. …”

“Error code p0527. Fan speed sensor. When A/C is on and this sensor fails, engine goes into high RPM too incorrectly cool off motor/trans. When accelerating, vehicle performs poorly (barely moves). This happened while waiting at a traffic signal to and from our destination and of course while driving. Driver is left in a precarious situation as you accelerate truck barely moves all due to a bad sensor. Sensor tells vehicle its overheating which isn't the case as temperature gauge / range is normal. …”

“Check engine light came on. Had code checked at closest auto parts store, it was an evap code. Light went out, but took it to dealer to be checked. Nothing could be done because light was off. Other sensor lights came on..parking and fuel cap, took back to dealer, gas cap and o ring changed. Dealer said not to worry if lights and sensor warnings came on, that truck was safe to drive, and it was suggested I take pictures each time one came on. A couple days later the engine light and sensor warnings kept coming on. …”
