Excessive Diesel Exhaust Regeneration. Vehicle in in regeneration about 72% of the time. Check engine light comes on about every 2 weeks with code P2459.

The security system was not installed nor does it work. Our truck had a window smashed and the truck was broken into. The alarm never went off, nor did the lights flash. There is an indication the security system was never installed at the time of manufacturing. Property was stolen out of the vehicle and the thief was successful at breaking into our truck. At the time of the purchase of the truck, the security system is listed in the bill of sale.

Truck was parked on 5% slope, and transmission shifted into park, and parking brake set. Transmission then made a popping noise, and shifted into reverse, and vehicle started moving backwards. Parking brake failed to hold vehicle. Applied brakes, and shifted into park again, and set parking brake, and it didn't reoccur.
