The truck was stopped at a light. Suddenly, the vehicle began to jerk forward. We took off from the light and the truck began to violently jerk as if someone was jamming on the brake. The engine light and 4 wheel drive light came on. The truck became undriveable and had to be towed to the tischer dealer. The truck was repaired and we were told it was the air intake valve. I'm issuing this complaint because obviously a brand new luxury truck should not experience this type of problem so soon in its life. It is also, obviously, a defect in the part. The defect may extend beyond just our truck so we are alerting nhtsa to track. *Ak
