Audio/speaker system made extremely loud and surprising pop when vehicle on but audio system off. This could very easily startle the driver causing him to take an unsafe maneuver. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer nor been inspected by anyone, but I have seen other reports of this problem for this model via an internet search. I saw no warning lights prior or after this occurred. Subsequent to this pop, the speakers crackled even when the vehicle was off, but this crackling stopped over the night.

After coming to a complete stop the truck violently lurch’s forward. To the point that it feels as if another vehicle has contacted the rear of the vehicle. This seems to be attributed to an auxiliary pump failure.

The service bulletin needs to be a recall. The Program number is 22B34 where on all max tow packages the rear axle bolt breaks off. It is very common and need to be addressed and not just a satisfaction program. It happened to my truck at 27,000 miles.

The passenger side rear axle bolt sheared off. Safety was put as risk because there was no longer anything holding the axle in place. The problem was confirmed by the dealer, who replaced the axle.

Deafening pulsing noise coming from all speakers , volume button did not turn it off. Shut truck and locked it and did not stop the noise. Unplugged battery and did not stop noise. After about 15 minutes it stopped. Got into truck and there was an electrical burning smell. I have recorded the noise on video. Big safety concern, if the noise happened while I was moving I might have crashed. My ears were ringing for awhile after the incident.
