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...

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.
