Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Fuel gauge shows inaccurate readings, sometimes stuck on full or reading empty intermittently while driving.
  • Fuel pump shuts off early during fill-up even though the tank is not full, paired with unreliable miles-to-empty estimates.
  • Battery drains unexpectedly, sometimes tied to infotainment system parasitic draw or over-the-air software updates, leaving drivers stranded.
  • Infotainment screen displays a distracting privacy policy prompt that overwrites the console while the vehicle is being driven.
  • Gear shifter or ignition key gets stuck, failing to recognize Park and preventing key removal, sometimes requiring repeated attempts or shifter assembly replacement.
