Driving freeway speed lost throttle/acceleration control and power, gages went out of control dropping to zero coming back up and then dropping again, radio shut off and clock reset. Locks were locking and unlocking on their own then truck shut off. Had to coast to side of freeway. No hazards lights would work no blinker. Once parked on side of freeway turned off ignition and truck would not start no power no nothing. Had to disconnect battery then connect again before it would start back up. Was told engine was rebuilt by car dealership I bought it from carfax doesnt show that but does show a possible odometer roll back and a new airbag recall was issued. I just got carfax report today havnt had the truck for even a year.
Chimes--any warning chimes-- can not be heard at all,speakers do not work,no warning chimes can be heard at all. Keys left in the ignition,turn signals on ,lights left on,seat belt warning,door open,nothing--then,depending on the weather,hot and dry,they may work,the radio may play,winter time--nothing---summer time,sporadic but for the most part--nothing. . Two years now. Don't matter if going or sitting still,any where,just nothing.
The front radio speakers do not work most of the time. Because of this the warning chimes cannot be heard.
