“3 times within a 2 month period while driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god I was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.”

It was a scary moment for. I took it to a well known mechanic and ran a test and told me the lead frame was bad. He informed me that my truck was not under recall because my truck was not at the plant where the lead frame was faulty.”
NHTSA complaint #11398450, filed 2021-03, 103,000 miles“I was merging onto the highway and when I went to accelerate my truck lost all power and decelerated and a wrench icon appeared on the display. I pulled over luckily safely without causing an accident turned my truck off and back on and did not experience this issue again. This is the 4th time this has happened.
