What owners wrote
Truck stationary. Started engine. Immediately message showed up on dashboard indicating steering assist low, drive carefully. No power steering. Traction control warning lit. Shifted into reverse; truck would not move as if in neutral. Truck move move forward in drive. Shut off engine and restarted twice. No change. Did not attempt to drive.
First the controls on the steering wheel stopped working, while driving on a normal street in town. Then the stabilitrak service message and check engine light came on while driving down the highway. When the message came up the truck would no longer go when the gas pedal was pressed. Pulled over and turned off the stabilitrak in order to make it home and the truck shifted very hard into each gear and only would shift between 3000 and 3500 rpms.
