Owner report 11692484 · 2025-10-10 (October 10, 2025)
Observation: "While operating the vehicle in Reverse (R) with the One-Pedal Driving (OPD) mode enabled, the expected aggressive regenerative braking deceleration is disabled or significantly reduced compared to when driving forward in Drive (D). Safety Concern: "This creates an unexpected driving experience where the car continues to coast/accelerate without input when the accelerator is released, requiring the driver to use the traditional friction brake pedal to stop the vehicle. This goes against the driver's established muscle memory and e…

Owner report 11756905 · 2026-08-14 (August 14, 2026)
3 weeks ago all the warning lights went off. The vehicle is still under warranty. I brought it to the dealership. They denied the warranty because of mud that was caked on the undercarriage damaging the wiring and steering assembly. This truck was used on a dirt driveway that gets wet and muddy during the spring. That is what a truck is for. I believe there is a manufacturing defect that caused this problem.
