They take the battery out of my truck put it on a machine and charge it and tell me my bettery is fine every time.

I cannot safely leave my house without a jumpstarter because this bad battery is in my truck.

Possibly software. Vehicle door latch will not release on any of 4 doors. Tried fob and manual key. I am locked out of vehicle. A serious safety issue would arise if I were locked in the vehicle, especially in an accident.

Car was shuddering and vibrating on acceleration brought to dealership and was told I needed front axles with 16k on odometer . It took over a month to get parts and the dealership was kind enough to give me a car while Parts came in. These new parts are Likely also faulty as the vibrations are starting again under acceleration .The car now has 29k I will be bringing the car in again soon for other recalls and repair but this shouldn’t be happening . Heaven knows what other damage is being done . We need a part redesign and a recall asap . Thanks

The 12v battery keeps draining when the vehicle is not in use. It goes into “Deep Sleep” mode. Every time it goes into deep sleep mode I have to jump start it. I’ve taken it to the dealership and had the battery replaced just to have to go into deep sleep mode a three days later.j
