Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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.”
