The problem is with the whole DEF System in the truck. for the last 6 months I can't go a week or less without getting some kind of code. Every time it effects the electronic throttle control and the truck goes into limp mode, I can be going 70 mph and it drops down to 30-40 mph no matter where I am at. I have almost been rear ended several times. I fix that code and a week later another code pops up and we do it all over again. I think I may have gone 2 weeks without a problem in the last 6 months. This time it is the DPF and DEF system, and here we go back into limp mode. I have had it to the dealer last week for issues which they couldn't figure out but thought that reprogramming would fix. So I leave to go out of state to work and here we go again less than 100 miles from home. Exhaust filter is full with no regen for over 400 miles. Now I'm stuck out of state with this problem. I think this really needs to be addressed because after all of my research this seems to be a normal problem.

While backing up the vehicle stopped, bells went off in vehicle, the p light on the shifter and dashboard began flashing, a message appeared in the dash message center stating to apply the parking brake. I shut the vehicle off but only could turn the key to accessory. The vehicle wouldn't shift to park. The vehicles electrical system wouldn't shut down, I couldn't remove the key. While stopped I opened the owners manual to review the transmission section and it explained that if the issue occurs to follow printed procedure. Eventually I was able to shut down the electrical system. The issue is that this could been a more serious issue if I wasn't backing into my own driveway. This wouldn't turned out well if I was backing into a busy street. I have a video available of the lights flashing. I attached a still photo of the dash.

Truck wont go into reverse when turning the rotary dial. This happens after driving the truck for a couple of miles. If you turn the rotary dial to the the r position it just sits there like it is in neutral. In order to get it to go into reverse, you have to turn the dial back to p, then turn the dial to d and then turn it back to r. This is potentially dangerous because if you are on an incline and turn it to r it will roll forward and not go into reverse.
