Electrical components shutting off

Deus13 · July 30, 2021

All electronics shut off. It started off when backing up and the steering wheel was maxed out left or right. Now it turns off when driving down the road. Every single electrical component turns off, power steering, power brakes, radio, lights, dash board everything for about 2-3 seconds. The dealership could not replicate this issue so they couldn’t fix anything. This vehicle is not safe for me to put my family in. Does anyone have any ideas?

Check the ground connection by driver dashboard.

Note - remove your battery cable when removing this ground as it will sparks.

Just another guess, CEL light on, or popped on when this happens?

Can you still start it with the remote start, if not you have a code stored. (safety feature, won't let the RKE start work if something is up).

No CEL light and I even stick a code reader and nothing stored. Remote start still works good. Yesterday tho the radio started having a brain of its own and would randomly flip through its setting pages
