Driving down the road LUCKILY only cruising about 45mph my brakes suddenly activated all by themselves without warning...about put me through the windshield!!! Brakes FULLY activated for a quick second as if you were brake checking someone then vehicle went back to driving as normal. I have since parked this death trap until i can sell it. Dealerships are worthless, they just parts change as they guess along and then send me bills.
Update from Jun 15, 2019: Truck originally wouldn't start, when it did, an unrecognized Keyless Entry Code (17171) appeared on screen. Not factory code or our personal code. What appeared to be brake lockup was actually Differential locking up for a quick second and screeching the tires while cruising at 40-45mph.
I believe someone may have tried to hack into the truck remotely so I deprogrammed ALL keyless entry codes and then reprogrammed our personal code. Once this was done truck was fine for a while but now I am getting codes for a bad Transmission Range Sensor but it may be unrelated. For $50 I'm just going to replace that and see if anything else pops up.
