Code p2138. Truck goes into "limp mode" when pedal harness sensor gets wet. (I. E. Driving in heavy rain). Power and transmission reduce speed to less than 45mph. Will not go into any gear higher than 2nd. This happened to me on the interstate at driving at the posted speed limit of 75 mph. Had to pull over and limp 1 mile to the nearest off ramp creating a dangerous situation. Has been an ongoing issue.
Traveling at approximately 60 mph, on a busy city street, I heard and felt a loud bump that sounded almost like I was hit from behind and the check engine light illuminated. After the initial bump, I tried to accelerate but the truck just made a winding noise like it could not shift gears. The truck finally shifted but, would not change out of first gear. Luckily I was not hit from behind. I just happed to take a less traveled way home that day. If I had taken my normal route, which is the highway, I guarantee this could have cause an accident and possibility mine or someone else's life. The truck has had hard shifts since I purchased it certified preowned, which I see is a very common complaint. After having the truck checked by a mechanic, metal shavings were found in the transmission fluid, which will result in the transmission having to be replaced. All maintenance forthe transmission was up to date prior to thus happening.
