I was driving around a lake with my family. We were fishing. I had no warning at all and my transmission started to sputter and jerk extremely bad and my brakes did not work at the same time. I had to use my parking break to stop my family and I from going into the lake at 40mph. I looked up on many websites and forums and saw multiple people with the same issue. I am afraid that this will happen to a young driver and it be very tragic. Please do a recall. My truck is still sitting at my house broken. I am on disability and can not afford to fix it. I just keep paying my payments with no use of my truck. Please I beg of you.

Air bags didn't deploy on 2 separate incidences and brakes went out last incident
The truck just shut off all electrical and dash controls as I went to turn into my driveway. Its done it to me twice so far in the last 3 weeks. . No brakes and no power steering.
Vehicle started having random electrical problems including dropping out of cruise when signaling a lane change, not starting due to antitheft system error, stabltrak error message, message to raise & lower drivers side window. Ultimately the engine, steering & brakes failed, fortunately at low speed, and we coasted to a stop after the truck ran over a curb. Our safety was at risk as we could have crashed into something. Others safety was at risk as we could have ended up in their vehicle path. The dealer replaced some ground wires, at great expense, and said that usually fixes it. Which tells me that this is a known problem. Can't believe that it isn't a safety recall!

Breaks do not work at low speed in reverse, break pedal goes all the way to the floor and excessive pressure must be applied in order to stop vehicle, this is extremely unsafe due to low visibility when backing the vehicle.
Loss of brakes at low speed, forward and reverse. Brake pedal gets stiff and brakes barely stop the truck.
All happened same day. Was 8 hours from home and pulling into parking spot and the brakes went to the floor 3 times. Has not occurred since. But when that happened the air started blowing warm and the service driver assist came on briefly. Still air is blowing warm and the service driver assist comes on. Have never had a check engine light come on. I am having it checked out this week.
Brake pedal got hard , the dash center gave no warning and still has no fault light or any brake warnings lights. We where driving on a city street ,when the brakes stopped working, driving through a red light because we couldn't stop the vehicle and popped the street curb, into an empty property lot
