Call your local dealer and see if it's covered under the warranty extension.

My suggestion is to go on a 1000 mile road trip, see if brakes are working well. If not I think it’s your SBC

Check your backup battery under the air filter. Its probably fooked. Or your main battery if the cars not starting...

Wouldnt think so but who knows mate. Did you check the battery under the hood, you need to remove the airfilter to get at it..

It starts fine main battery is 3 months old same with aux. I called local dealer they said if the scan comes up as bad pump free of charge due to extended warranty.
Now just got to get it into drive so I can get it towed

Why? Is it in a place that a tow truck can't get to? Those guys move cars that are in park with the parking brake on all the time.
