Description of the problem | The def tank suddenly read empty and it was over 3/4 full it began to countdown the warning of reduced speed in 200 miles i was driving between ca and az at night . I was over 250 from any town driving at 65 it suddenly slowed to 5 mph. This caused vehicles to swerve around me and brake. I understand you don't want people not to use def but for safety the vehicle should at least be able to keep the min freeway speed of 55. Then upon restart idle only for cold environment situations. |
