Consumer Description

DEF warning: see dealer. 125 miles until 5mph max speed. Happened 250 miles to nearest dealer during winter storm in SD and NE. Stranded at night, in storm, in freezing conditions, without available help. This is a potentially fatal situation due to failure of new vehicle despite preparation per vehicle manual. DEF tank 2/3 full, DPF gauge at 0. Eventually towed 135 miles to dealer to have DEF code reset. This is dangerous and very common.
