TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE - CAR WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS WHILE BEING IN ON OFF POSITION. THE CAR WOULD BE TURNED OFF AND I WOULD GET IN TO START IT, THE CAR CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START. IT JUST GETS STUCK. I WOULD HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT, KEEP TRYING TO START THE CAR WITH THE FOB AND WITH THE KEY INSERTED UNTIL IT FINALLY STARTS AGAIN. NO PATTERN OR ANYTHING, CAR JUST LEAVES ME STARANDED AFTER TWO YEARS OF NOT HAVING A RELIABLE CAR, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE IT FOR $1000.00 - I ONLY HAVE 38K MILES AND HAVE TO REPLACE THIS IN MY CAR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR BAD QUALITY.

CANNOT DISABLE WEATHER POP-UPS FROM SIRIUSXM TRAVEL LINK SERVICE OR FROM UCONNECT NAVIGATION SCREEN.

I IMMEDIATELY REFASTEN IT BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED ENOUGH TIME TO RAISE CONCERN IF I WOULD BE SAFE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

IN MOTION THE STEERING IS VERY LOOSE. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL TRAVEL VERY OFTEN FROM 3 O'CLOCK TO 9 O'CLOCK AND HOPEFULLY, I AM STILL GOING STRAIGHT. THE TRUCK WILL DRIFT TO THE RIGHT AND HAVE TO OVERSTEER TO GET THE TRUCK IN THE TRAVEL LANE. I REPLACED STEERING GEAR BOX, BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, STEERING ROD, TRACK BAR, RACK, AND PINION. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. TRANSMISSION PLASTIC PART IS BROKEN SO THERE HAS TO BE REPLACED.
