Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Owners report engine bay and cab fires occurring at low mileage, in one case destroying the vehicle and a second vehicle parked nearby.
- Infotainment screen and backup camera freeze or black out, sometimes leaving the display stuck and unresponsive to volume or power controls.
- Instrument panel and automatic step lights fail to operate, which owners attribute to a missing or improperly installed wiring harness.
- Tailgate opens and closes on its own without driver input, and the tailgate button sometimes stops working, forcing use of the remote instead.

- Key becomes stuck in the ignition, which the owner was told relates to a parking sensor, leaving the truck idling as a workaround.
