Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Vehicle stalls unexpectedly while reversing or at low speed with no warning, in at least one case leading to a crash.
- Wiring near the radiator fan or engine compartment catches fire, sometimes producing visible flames or smoke from under the hood.
- Warning lights illuminate across the dash and four-wheel drive systems engage on their own, with dealers pointing to the body control module, though the problem can return after repair.
- Door latch sensors misreport a closed door as open or vice versa, so the vehicle gives no warning that a door is actually open while driving.
- Brake lights fail to illuminate when the pedal is pressed, or the brake light shuts off while the turn signal is active, making it hard for other drivers to tell if the vehicle is braking or turning.
- Headlight assemblies develop internal condensation and turn signal bulbs stop working, or headlights fail to illuminate the road far enough ahead at highway speeds.
