I was driving along the highway (not interstate) into the NC mountains. Part way up the mountain, I heard an odd noise in the front, sort of a "donk," followed by the sound of air rushing. My first thought was I'd punctured a tire, but then I started losing power and the dash lit up. First I saw "Service Electronic Throttle Control" and then I think the ABS light came on. The truck slowly made it up the mountain, but I pulled over at an overlook and used my OBD scanner to read the codes.
It threw off a ton of codes, including "Turbo underboost (or something like that)," "Implausible Data Received from TCM," "Torque Request Signal Denied," "Lost Communication with TCM," "ABS Disabled CPU," "Implausible Data Received from Driver Assistance System Module," "Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit - Bank 1 Sensor 1," and some others I didn't capture on my screen grab. The transmission/engine started surging and there would be a noticeable noise like air under the hood. I though maybe some sort of vacuum line had broken, though when I looked under the hood (after parking it at my destination) everything looked normal and clean--at least what I could see.
As I got closer to where it's now parked, it began shifting erratically and I could hear a "clunking" noise from what seemed like the rear differential area. I'm about three weeks before my 3/36 warranty expires, though powertrain I know is longer, so I plan to take it to the dealer but I'm curious if anyone here has any thoughts.
I'll add that I've read all the stories about the OEM battery only making it about three years and that all sort of electrical issues can happen when it starts to go. So, I changed the battery, but the problem remains.
I've got about 21K miles, the vast majority being interstate/highway.
