Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the tailgate opening on its own while parked or driving, sometimes striking the garage door.
  • Some describe a persistent 'Shift to Park' dashboard message that prevents the vehicle from locking or fully powering down, requiring the shifter to be wiggled or the engine left running for a long time.
  • Others report sudden loss of power while driving, followed by multiple stored diagnostic codes and a battery that then needs jump-starting.
  • A few owners say the backup camera image is overly bright at night, making it hard to see through the mirrors or windows when backing up.
  • One owner reported a collision in which airbags did not deploy as expected, accompanied by unexpected activation of the hazards, dome lights, and a burst of compressed air from the dash.
