Each time i was able to get the going again by stopping the truck, putting in park, turning off the ignition, and then restarting. I'm afraid to drive a two year old truck with less than 20,000 miles. The truck is at the dealer for a week now and they are unable to replicate the issue. Both times the vehicle…

The body was replaced after a week at the dealership. This is…
