Description of the problem | Problem 1: my trucks traction control engages on snow and throws the wheels into a slide rather than stabilizes the vehicle. I turn sway and/or traction control off and it turns itself back on whenever i stop and then get back in and restart the truck. Problem 2: this truck will not give an accurate read on gas in the tank as the needle is always getting stuck. I gauge by miles gone as to when i need gas. (just stopped to get gas thought i was out but needle went over 1/2 which is what i put in.) but there are more electrical issues such as the doors that unlock during the night when i have locked all doors, by morning one or more doors often on passenger side unlock themselves. And sync always does it's own thing with my iphone x, never know if it will connect or be disconnected while driving. Sometimes it goes from hands free answer in the middle of a conversation to suddenly in privacy mode. These problems are while in motion and sometimes when the vehicle is parked. Problem 3: truck speedometer is very difficult to read due to hash marks for speed instead of numbers at 20, 40, 60, etc speeds. Nearly got a ticket for looking down too long to read my display. Starting to hate this truck as i never know what it will do or not do. This is dangerous as it is a consistent distraction. So much for safety due to technology. If others have these issues well it's no wonder people are driving so badly now. |
