While driving at 70 mph, your vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate properly without any warning, though it returned to normal operation after a few minutes. On a separate occasion, your vehicle lost all power and stalled unexpectedly, forcing you to pull over safely. The dealer ran diagnostic tests but couldn't identify the problem. The issue occurred at 41,000 miles.

Your truck rolled backward down the driveway after you turned off the engine without putting it in Park. You had to jump back in while it was moving to stop it. This suggests the transmission may not be holding the vehicle safely when parked without Park engaged.

Unknown Or Other →1 issue
Your moonroof suddenly shattered and exploded while you were driving on the highway, with no prior warning signs or indication that anything was wrong. This is a serious safety concern as flying glass could injure occupants. The repair will likely require complete moonroof panel replacement and inspection of the roof frame assembly.

Suspension →1 issue
Your front strut is making grinding or rumbling noises, which indicates it may be failing. Your dealer has told you they won't replace it because they don't have the part in stock and say struts only need replacement if they're actively leaking. However, noise from a strut typically signals internal wear that will get worse over time.
