If they would just remove all that electrical crap the brand would be reliable again

The first thing I noticed was the truck feeling like it was shifting down and didn’t matter what type of incline. Then check engine light, stabiltrack and traction control. Then went into engine derat. Towed to shop. They put in one fuel injector and rails, got it back and that same night it started doing the same except didn’t go into engine derate Sent straight back to shop. Then when I got it back it was squealing when I picked it up, the windshield was broken, hood scratched I did go straight back to shop when I drove not even a mile down the road and notice the windshield.
I took pictures and so did they. I didn’t leave a very nice message. They never contacted me back until I contacted the Better Business Bureau because they did install the other 3 injectors but it didn’t help. Then it was just the check engine light that came on and off along with stabiltrack and traction control but would go off and on. I was treated horribly by the financial manager for reporting the issue within his office during financing. They never even tried to contact me when I left the message the following day. But never contacted me until my complaint to BBB.When I then received threatening emails from finance Mgr. Didn’t get resolved. Took it then to a different dealership and they replaced the rear nox sensor and U didn’t get out of the parking lot
and immediately the same day the check engine light came back on. I pulled right back
in they checked it said that it needed the front nox sensor replaced. Then same thing and has been sitting in my driveway since April this year. After spending $6000 in repairs and my truck in the shop basically from August through April and still not running and in limp mode. I don’t know what else to do because I overpaid for the truck, I spent that $6000 in repairs. I did try a online quote for cash sale That was right before the light came back on and I was offered a little over $10,000 less than I originally paid for the truck and now that it’s not running I probably couldn’t even get $10,000 cash offer. This truck has been a nightmare.
