POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the Freeway, when the gears on the Transmission started to idle. I was going about 65 miles per hr, when the vehicle would not move, even as a stepped on the gas pedal. I was able to put my hazard lights on and pulled over on the side shoulder of the Freeway. I immediately put the vehicle in park mode. While in park mode the vehicle started to make a very loud screeching noise. I turned off the vehicle to see if this would troubleshoot the issue. I turned vehicle back on and the noise did not go away, I put the vehicle back into gear and it would not move, it started to shake and the vehicle jumped into which I believe would have been 3rd gear. I was able to drive the vehicle to my house at 5 miles per hr with the Hazard lights on. My house was only 2 miles from the Freeway Exit. During the 2 Mike drive to my house, the vehicle kept jumping into gears. This could have caused a major accident on the Freeway. I need answers.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel filler injection port retaining clip became overly worn down & broke with minimal use, thus not holding the fuel spout in its proper place causing it to malfunction. No warning lights. Fuel spout is very loose & could come loose & cause disasters from: personnel injury/death, inhalation from toxic fumes, environmental disasters, etc. The fuel tank was completely replaced in 2016 right after purchase.

Which indicates a problem with the brake boost assist system. Further investigation indicates a re-programing of the braking software may be needed. i would like to see this issue of re-programing the braking software a re-call on my 2106 truck.

POWER TRAIN
The transmission stopped working randomly on the highway after being driven for 45 minutes perfectly fine. Thankfully this happened near a stoplight so the traffic on the highway was going slower than normal otherwise it could have been very bad. Local mechanic confirmed that the transmission was no good and has ordered a replacement. There was no indication of the issue prior to the failure. No lights came on to indicate that there was an issue.

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving the vehicle on a snow covered road the check engine light, abs light, esc light and parking brake light all came on. The vehicle also lost braking power. Took to the dealer. They told me it was a brake control module. If you do some research this is a on going thing since 2018. But they still continue to put this part in the trucks. On top of all of that they don't have a replacement part for the truck. Now the truck is going to sit at the dealer for one to two months. I am now paying on a truck that I can't drive to work and no loaners available. my question is why are they aloud to still put these parts in a truck. How do I know if they fix it if the problem wont happen again. If it does happen i hope my family and any one else is not in the way of my truck that I am unable to stop.

SERVICE BRAKES
When driving home from work one day driving at low speed (Below 15mph) the brake pedal would not go down it seemed like no matter how hard I pushed the brake pedal would not move much. This caused me to run a stop sign once the truck slowed down enough and brakes were literally being pressed as hard as possible you could hear the front brakes grinding really bad and the truck still did not want to stop. I had to call a wrecker service to tow my truck to a local mechanic shop. Upon further investigation and 625 dollars later it was determined the vacuum pump failed. After replacing the pump no further issues so far.
