NHTSA complaint #10631493, filed 2014-09, 50,000 miles“When you start the truck, the asb light comes on. The wipers, A/C, headlights, radio, and power locks will not work. If you let the truck run for about 5 mins, you hear a 'ding' and everything starts working again and the asb light goes out. Took it to a local mechanic and was told they were not able to diagnosis the problem. The truck was in park. I was able to drive the vehical but this is an issue if it's raining outside or at night.”
