   It's the same issue as Recall Notice 22S02/NHTSA Recall 22v011. The replacement part is MR3Z-7583-A 1X ($2-$5 part with 30 second install), but they do not show it under parts for my truck, they would prefer to sell me the whole brake pedal assembly ($50+ part and labor probably diagnosis charge in addition to part replacement). The part becomes brittle and breaks. This caused dead battery, 5 hours from home, due to lights staying on, allowed me to start and put truck into…

   Started truck and drove about 1/4 mile when it lost all power and numerous messages started flashing on the screen. Truck had no power and i had to pull to the side of the blvd to let other traffic pass. Shut engine off and restarted. Started oksy but returned home. Learned from my mechanic 180 miles away that it is the throttle body, a common problem to which there is no recall but possibly and extended warranty. Truck has 49,253 miles on it.

    Chech engine light keeps coming on. Dealer said it was an evap canister issue, I told them warning had come on prior for check fuel fill cap. (Capless). Said they needed to replace purge cylinoid. So as I'm paying $500 for the repair, I'm told this might not fix the issue. What? Started with small evap leak. And fuel door codes. That only came on at 1/4 tank used. Now it's a large leak that comes on every time I start the engine. And I got the check fuel fill door warning…

    The throttle body will randomly get stuck either shut or open and when this happens the truck goes into a “limp” mode that makes the truck lose all power. There is no warning of when it will happen or to get your vehicle checked. If this were to happen pulling into traffic it could cause a serious wreck since you cannot get the truck to accelerate in any way. This problem has been reproduced numerous times.
