“This issue has happened multiple times, in the city, highway, and definitely while I was in motion. This has almost caused me to rear end another driver. I get a ABS warning and my speed is limited to 62mph. My brakes are harder to press on and doesn't slow down the truck normally. I get a ABS sign, traction control sign, and a check engine sign. The truck is almost brand new with one previous owner, and only 15k miles. This issue needs to be resolved, this is unacceptable. …”
NHTSA complaint #11321113, filed 2020-04, 15,000 miles“The truck has ~3000 miles.

The engine was still running, but no power was available when pushing on the gas pedal. Luckily, I was able to pull off of the highway; however, if this would have happened crossing traffic or on a busy highway, the results could have been fatal. I was surprised and shocked to see a new truck provide zero power from the gas pedal. …”
