The Electrical System problem

The worst problem I have with this vehicle is that it will cut power to propulsion without any warning. I was driving down a suburban roadway, not on the freeway, thank god. When the truck's automatic gear shift wouldn't engage, I went from going 30 mph to 5 mph in seconds.   Read details...

The Wiring problem

1 owner. Never driven on salted roads(south louisiana). Live 100 miles from coastline,not in a saltwater environment. Or driven in water other than rain. Cruise control dropping out, automatic transmission not shifting when supposed to.   Read details...

The Ignition Switch problem

Ignition switch intermittently stops working. It will cut off while driving city streets and at high speeds and the lock buttons will lock and unlock repeatedly while showing the truck in park, all while going down the expressway. It's terrifying. Sometimes it won't start or do anything.   Read details...
