Typical electrical symptoms owners report
- Vehicles intermittently fail to start, sometimes requiring multiple attempts over months before needing a tow, a pattern owners link to the TIPM module.
- The transfer case can shift unintentionally into neutral, causing the vehicle to roll away in parking lots or driveways.
- The key sometimes slips out of the ignition switch while driving without the engine powering off, tied to a defective WIN module.
- Warning gauges on the instrument panel illuminate all at once, sometimes accompanied by failed turn signals and rear brake lights.
- Remote start and keyless entry can fail on the first attempt, requiring several tries to unlock the doors.
- Front wheels have seized at low speed even after dealers performed the recall repair under campaign 13V175000.
