Thanks for all the replies - I suspect its a battery issue. I'm starting to get some slow or hard starting now that cooler weather has arrived. The battery is original, so its been in there 3 years. Going to replace it this weekend.

First post, Apologies if this is duplicated elsewhere (I didn't see one on my search) So my truck has some odd electronics issues, intermittent all of them, and none really what I would call terrible. But when you think about all of them together, it gives me pause for concern. Things like: The object avoidance alerts constantly beeping, when nothing is in front or behind the vehicle. When that happens, I shut the engine off, wait a few secs, start up again, all good. I have a gravel driveway, and it seems to detect the gravel as an obstruction sometimes. The retractable running boards - sometimes they don't retract. They always do when I put the vehicle in drive, but when parked, engine off, they will just randomly decide not to retract. Slow reaction on the radio when changing stations from the steering wheel controls. Lane keeping just shuts off randomly. (Nevermind that it barely works when its on - I dont really depend on it, but it's annoying to have a feature that doesn't work). Like I said, I can live with all of these. I take it to the dealer and of course they cant replicate the problem. For what a truck like this costs, this seems to be kind of shoddy. Did I get a lemon, or does this sound familiar to anyone else.

Mine has 23K miles on it, no towing, and the issue started just this week. I dont drive it much any more since this pandemic thing, so it could have been sitting there, building up moisture. I have an appointment with the dealer monday. I plan to bring the TSB with me to hopefully get past the first "couldnt duplicate issue" stuff. Note that I did have some heavy rain about a month ago and may have partially submerged the trans on a washed out road. Not sure if that will mean it's NOT covered under warranty? Is the trans fully sealed or is it vented? Not sure.
