In owners' own words
Truck has been going into deep sleep. Failed to start do to battery while in garage. Failed to start another time leaving me stranded. Dealership has replaced battery 2 times. I mentioned checking wiring harness, but they just replaced battery. Approximately 3 weeks after replacing battery 2nd time it is going into deep sleep mode again. I am concerned I will become stranded once again with a dead battery Electrical system
Vehicle lost all electrical power after being turned off. No power to any part of vehicle, including interior lights, door locks etc. Vehicle was not able be turned back on unless jump started. Vehicle continues to lose all power when turned off. No warning on dash for any issue at all. Vehicle left me unexpectedly stranded with two young children at gas station hundreds of miles from home. Electrical system
My backup camera failed, the frame froze. As I was backing into a parking spot I hit a wall when the screen in the vehicle showed that I was still 5 or 6 feet away. As I reversed direction and pulled away a few feet to check the damage I noticed that the screen had not changed; it still showed that I was 5 or 6 feet away. When I restarted that vehicle the camera returned to normal functioning. Electrical system
