Complaint Summary
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Owner Narrative
I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THEN THEY WENT ALL THE WAY OUT AND THE DOME LIGHT AND KEYLESS ENTRY ISN'T WORKING. IT FINALLY WOULDN'T START AND SO WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHTS WERE OFF AGAIN. THE BATTERY THAT WAS IN THE TRUCK WAS TOO SMALL AND WE TOLD THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING BECAUSE WE PUT A BIGGER BATTERY IN IT, WE PUT THE RIGHT SIZE BATTERY. THE OTHER DAY WE CAME HOME AND THE CARGO LIGHTS WERE ON BY THEMSELVES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR IT CATCHING ON FIRE. WE ONLY HAD THE TRUCK 2 AND HALF MONTHS. WE PAID $6300 FOR IT. *TR
