The truck will display a warning on the dash as well as make audible warnings saying that a camera in the grille is blocked or malfunctioning. another warning that also happens a lot is something saying that a crash has been detected, it has loud chimes that go off as well as a flashing red display on dash. the pre collision warning also frequently alerts with visual and audible warnings. all of these will happen at any random time, and of all the couple dozen times these warnings have happened there hasn't been a single time that there was any traffic nearby, nor was there anything blocking any camera or sensor. the vehicle is barely more than a month old and has been back to the dealership a few times to fix body alignment issues and programming issues with the ecu, pcm and tcu. the service department told me that the pre collision system only works if you also have adaptive cruise control, which my truck does not. they said there is no way to fix the system to get it to stop giving false warnings unless they add the adaptive cruise control module and other components. however, the dealership ...

Was driving and suddenly, my vehicle started to lose power. was very scary because it was at night. engine light came on and power was lost. pulled off freeway into gas station. checked fluids, etc.. upon trying to leave, vehicle was sputtering with no compression. i did not think i was going to make it home. after a few minutes, i tried again, this time giving vehicle more gas. it seemed to do a little better. but, every time i had to slow down or stop for a stop sign or traffic light, vehicle was sputtering and acting like it was going to stall out. was very nerve racking, as i was afraid of being rear ended by cars that were behind me. now every time i slow down to where vehicle is in idle, it acts like it is going to stall out on me, which makes me very nervous. had a mechanic install new plugs, new injector, coil package and vehicle is still doing badly and running very rough. engine light still comes on after having all these new parts installed. mechanic also ...
