What owners wrote

While traveling in the left hand lane of a 4 lane divided highway we noticed the vehicle in front of us was not moving. We were going approximately 58 MPH. We could not move to the right lane due to vehicles entering that lane from an on ramp. We were about 100 yards away when we realized the vehicle in front of us was not moving. We immediately slammed on the brakes. The truck did not stop. We had a very severe collision. We slammed into the rear of the vehicle in front of us.

After performing the latest recalls the check engine light illuminated with a p25a2 code. I did not notice any change in the vehicle handling or performance. After I took the vehicle to the dealership for service they told me that they couldn't find an error code, only the p25a2 code which is to illuminate the check engine light. I believe it was the brake system that triggered the light if I recall what the service technician told me correctly.
