CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE GPS WOULD DIRECT THE VEHICLE UNDER OVERPASSES EVEN THOUGH IT SHOULDN'T HAVE AS THE CAMPER IT WAS TOWING WAS TOO LARGE.

I WAS HAULING A 24' ENCLOSED CAR TRAILER FROM SAN DIEGO TO LAS VEGAS. IT WAS LOADED WITH A CAR THAT I HAD JUST PICKED UP FROM THE PAINTER AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING IT BACK HOME. AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE VICTORVILLE AREA ON INTERSTATE 15 THE ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE A MISFIRE OR STUMBLE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT AN ALERT MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH REGARDING AN EXHAUST EMISSION SERVICE WAS NEEDED. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE TRUCK STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ANOTHER WARNING APPEARED REGARDING A SERVICE ELECTRONIC IGNITION WAS NEEDED AND THEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS THREE LANES OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC BEFORE BARELY BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE FREEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A RELATIVELY SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. IT WOULDN'T THEN RESTART SO WE WERE STRANDED ABOUT 200 MILES FROM LAS VEGAS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING FOLLOWED ALONG WITH A LIGHT ON ON THE DASHBOARD CLAIMING THAT POWER STEERING FAILED. IT BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN EVEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY NAVIGATES LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING, ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL HAS ALMOST NOT AFFECT TO THE VEHICLE GOING STRAIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, ROAD CONDITION DOES NOT MATTER IT IS AFFECTED ON BOTH CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAY ROADS. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING A TRAILER.

THE SERVICE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MESSAGE COMES ON FOLLOWED BY THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. SOMETIMES THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ALSO FLASHES UNAVAILABLE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IF I TRY TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL I GET ANOTHER MESSAGE THAT SAYS CRUISE CONTROL UNAVAILABLE. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING THE WEEK I PICKED UP THE TRUCK IN MARCH AND WAS INTERMITTENT, HAPPENING EVERY 2ND OR 3RD DAY. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I START THE TRUCK. I DID NOT TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER UNTIL 3 JUNE 2020 BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS. *TR

VEHICLE ENGAGES THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING AND ACTIVE BRAKING AT REDUCED SPEEDS WHEN TURNING INSIDE OF A PARKING GARAGE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE CONFIRM SIMILAR INSTANCES. I HAD TO MANUALLY TURN OFF THE FORWARD COLLISION ACTIVE BREAKING JUST BECAUSE IT WAS SO SENSITIVE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE AT ANY SPEED INSIDE OF A PARKING GARAGE (PARTICULARLY WHEN APPROACHING A CORNER TO MOVE UP IN LEVELS) WITHOUT THE ACTIVE BRAKING OCCURRING. ANY VEHICLE FOLLOWING WOULD BE AT INCREASED RISK OF COLLIDING WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE RAMBOX PLASTIC COVERING IS WARPING. RAMBOX'S PLASTIC COVER IS SECURED TO THE SIDE OF THE RAMBOX STRUCTURE VIA DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. DUE TO TEMPERATURE CHANGES THE PLASTIC COVERING EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS IN COLD AND HOT ENVIRONMENTS, CAUSING THE PLASTIC PANEL TO WARP, AND CAUSING THE 3M TAPE THAT IS USED TO SECURE IT TO THE RAMBOX STRUCTURE TO FAIL.
