4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2019

Bought this truck brand new in September 2018 and have been having problems with the torque converter since the day we bought it. It has frequent moderated shuddering and or lurching at the acceleration speed of about 30 mph. Almost everyday and several times per day. I have taken it to the dealer several times, they say there is a "flaw" in the 2017-2018 trucks but there is not a fix. They say to drive the truck in tow haul and that helps. I do not want to drive in tow haul, I feel it is hard on the truck to drive in tow haul on a regular basis. Tow haul is specific for towing. And it compromises the fuel economy. I am unhappy that there is a known problem but no fix with the torque converter.

Diesel l5p 2017-current. When having the engine block heater plugged in, I have seen multiple trucks burn down from having a short somewhere. I have also seen the cord for the engine block heater rub against the wiring harness and rub the insulation off exposing the bare wire. I believe when this happens, an electrical arch jumps from the wire to ground a starting a fire. Please investigate engine block heater cord and it rubbing against sharp edges exposing bare wire.
