Engine check, traction control, anti-skid lights comes on with a message throttle control requires service. The engine losses all power or stalls making vehicle difficult to control, stop and get out of traffic. I have replaced the throttle control while the check engine light was on , it did not correct the problem. After the truck sits for a day or two all problems clear. 4-23-2019 is my third incident in 4 months.

I had to shut off the truck. They said there was a speed control related recall and replaced some module. Both happened going 50+ mph on a crowed highway. It happened again twice yesterday during accelertion. Very scary and unsafe. I'm afraid…
