Description of the problem	My vehicle is in the shop for a 5th time for the same issue of the engine light comes on, message said error with def system , call dealer. Then message came up and said in 200 miles truck will shut down to only 5 mph. The dealership and now warranty is refusing to fix it again basing their case on "contaminated def" fluid as the cause. I was told this is an issue on these trucks and to fix would be $1700 out of pocket even though it is still under warranty. Once the def was called "contaminated", everyone starting calling me asking for $ to repair the system saying it was my fault the fluid got contaminated. Distance driven from def error code 3 repair at the dealer to def error code 4, less than 100 miles and no def fluid was added since it left the dealer. The problem is recurring and no one wants to fix it. Truck is sitting at the dealer and cannot be driven due to the 200 mile shut down safety issue.
