Typical brake symptoms owners report

Owners describe sudden loss of engine power on the highway paired with a StabiliTrak/traction control warning, causing speed to drop sharply from normal highway speeds down to 35-45 mph.
Several drivers report that when they applied the brakes during these power-reduction events, the truck lunged forward instead of slowing, before the engine sputtered and shut off.
Some complaints describe brake pedal feel becoming unresponsive or reduced steering assist at the same time as the stability control warnings, described as a temporary loss of brake control.
One owner reported the instrument panel and gauges going dark or working only intermittently along with the stability control light, making it hard to tell vehicle speed while braking.
A separate case reported power issues and unusual behavior when pressing the brakes or using the blinker, including door locks cycling and audio system glitches.
