Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe the Auto Idle Stop/Auto Idle Off feature shutting the engine off at stops and failing to restart, sometimes stranding the truck in traffic or an intersection.
  • Some drivers report the vehicle going completely dead at a stop, losing all power including hazard lights, after using the Auto Idle Off button.
  • A recurring complaint involves the Automatic High Beam system turning on and off erratically, dimming for road signs, or failing to dim for oncoming traffic, which owners say creates a glare hazard for other drivers.
  • One owner reported Adaptive Cruise Control and the Road Departure Mitigation System shutting down simultaneously while idling, along with a brake system warning light, though brakes still worked.
  • A separate report describes the Push-To-Start system failing to start the vehicle with no warning light, plus a loss of power while idling in traffic that prevented acceleration.
