“Totally integrated power system tips failure ... I did the recommended 10,000 mile fuel filter replacement and turned the ignition key on-off three times without starting the vehicle as outlined in the owners manual. I now have at least 10 warnings on my vehicle: check engine light, brakes, trailer, will not start, no air conditioning, headlights stay on, only driver side of brakes work, diesel regeneration required power will be reduced.....etc. Local dealership stated the totally integrated power system tips short circuited.

NHTSA complaint #10744865, filed 2015-07, 9,696 miles“Was driving under cruise control at 75mph on i95 north in the middle lane, and noticed my truck started slowing down and engine had stalled.

The brake safety interlock for the shift lever also stays disengaged for the same 1 second when the shift lever is in park . …”
