- Owners report the forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking activating with no vehicle or obstacle ahead, sometimes bringing the truck to an abrupt stop at highway speed.
- Some drivers describe the front camera module falsely detecting obstacles, which ties to recall 24V133000 covering unintended AEB engagement.
- Owners describe blind spot/blind zone detection giving false warnings on one side while failing to illuminate on the other side when a vehicle is actually present.
- Several owners report cascading failures after a remote electrical update, including a nonfunctional rearview camera, door locks that stopped working, brake issues, and a battery that would not start the vehicle.
- Owners describe auto headlights shutting off in fog and then failing to respond when manually switched on through the touchscreen.
- Some drivers report the turn signal canceling incorrectly, with the left signal triggering instead of the right after completing a turn.
