    My car is currently at the dealer because this morning it was malfunctioning and wouldn’t start. Lights were rapidly flashing, alerts on the dash display going off etc. it was 7:30 EST time. Turned car off, locked it and plugged it in again to see if it would reset itself. Checked it 35 minutes later and it started and worked fine. Dealer info try and get it to do it again tomorrow morning. Anyone else have a aimilar issue?

    That sounds like a bad or low 12VDC battery. Have the dealer load test the battery and have them look for parasitic draw on the battery. It's a common issue on the Gen5s.

    Hope this helps...

    Forgot to mention, there are also TSBs on this issue - so the dealer knows your not blowing smoke....
