Truck doing some wacky things...

[DavidR]

That's awesome, thanks for posting that. It's good to see it's happening and probably others will follow.

I think once cars become completely autonomous, these things won't be as bothersome because you will feel more like a passenger and will probably have more tolerance for how the computer drives. But as long as it's just an assist and the driver is still in control, it will need to fit the driver's own patterns more closely to be well accepted.

It is NOT bad design. It would be designated as bad calibration.

Thanks for the reply Phil, and you're bang on of course - it's not bad design, rather bad calibration.
With all the various driver aids available, I may be getting confused. I didn't think that this was one that I can enable/disable, am I wrong about that?

Hi Stephen,

Yes, using the left buttons on the steering wheel you can select driver aids and then lane assist. Your choices if I recall are Off, Warn and Warn and Assist. I may be wrong on the terms but it is pretty straight forward to select what you wish.

I'm at 5000 miles, and truck has been doing some strange stuff. No CEL however.

1. Random loses a gear sometimes. Literally the engine will rev high and then find the gear. Happens around 4th I want to say.

2. Coming out of a driveway, turning right and accelerating there is a grinding in the front end, maybe it's the traction control?

3. This was pretty big one today, almost call a tow truck.

Remote started, got in put the key in, shifted to reverse, went to feet and entire truck went nuts. Stut off, and prompted terrain management failure, advance track failure, see manual and would not start back up.

I turned the key off for a few seconds, and then everything was fine.


I hope this is not the beginning of things to come

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Any word on what’s up?

Regarding all the various error messages happening at once; inspect your speed sensor wires on either one of your front knuckles very very closely.
