Turned on truck and got multiple messages, "service esc" and "brake system failure - speed limited to 62 mph." braking was extremely limited - even at hardest effort, truck struggled to come to a complete stop.

While driving on a highway stabilitrack turns off then few seconds later traction control turns off then i get either a cylinder misfire or throttle body code. Truck then goes into reduced power mode with rough idle. I can clear the codes with obd reader and it runs fine for a while.
