Service trailer brakes light pops up and chimes over and over again. I've never pulled a trailer. It's distracting and will randomly go off. Seems to go off when gas is below 1/4 tank. Sometimes it goes months without happening. Sometimes it happens a few days in a row. The dealership says they can't do anything unless they see it go off.
My truck trailer brake system continues to come on and my doors are locking and unlocking. It has my 4x4 trans rubbing as well. Its a non stop issue everytime I get into my truck it does this and it happened out of no where. I had this truck a little over a year now.

Randomly all electronics shut down engine stalls and lane assists wont let me turn wheel while driving in road. Normally at slow speeds. Get random warning lights that go away after seconds. When I activate a window switch all the electronics turn off and on. This happens randomly. No codes have been left to pull up when trying to solve issue. Twice with children in the car in traffic that we have almost got in a wreck due to these random issues.
Driving at approx 55 to 60 mph with rear defrost on. Began to smell a burning/electrical smell, and within 90 seconds heard a loud bang. Rear window (stationary piece on drivers side) had shattered. Smell presumably coming from the rear window defrost component. No warning lights or messages on the truck. My son was sitting in the rear seat at the time so this is a huge safety risk. This has not yet been repaired. Window replacement is scheduled with safelite on 6/8, consult with dealer on rear defrost set for 6/10. Photos are available.

When it hit the high setting it again lost control to increase speed. This happened every time I reached the drop off speed. Why dose this happen??? one time I was on a highway passing two trucks on a upgrade when this happened the #2 truck went to pass #1, the #2 truck was on my rear thank god acceleration returned. I reported this occurance to manufacture & to "NHTSA" over a year ago. I got "no" answers or responce from anyone!!!.
