RELUCTOR WHEEL FAILURE CAUSING IMMEDIATE ENGINE SHUTDOWN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 65 MPH NORTH ON I-10 ABOUT 5 MILES SOUTH OF KERRVILLE, TX. SHOP EXPECTS REPAIR TO COST AROUND $2300. SHOP WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE 500 OF THESE PARTS ON BACKORDER. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE IN THESE ENGINES AND BECAUSE THE PART IS LOCATED AR THE REAR OF THE CRANKSHAFT THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCESS THE PART. THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE LABOR WILL BE 8 HOURS. TRUCK IS STILL IN SHOP WAITING FOR PARTS.

FIRST, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES TO WORK AND WHILE TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO PARK (P). THEN WHILE TRYING TO ENGAGE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE (D) OR REVERSE (R) THE AUTO PARK SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED AND THE CAR IS UNABLE TO MOVE.
