Had a few times when I tried to start the engine and it just cranked over and stopped, went to the dealership I bought it from to do an oil change and had asked them to look into this issue, I was getting worried since this kind of problem was happening at such low miles, they told me they cant really look into it since it happened spatially and not often enough, I said there should be some fault code and asked them to just look into it, sometime goes by and they said the tech tried repeating the issue over again and nothing happened and it started up each time, I then went to another dealership and they were able to find that the power distribution center had burned up.. they placed a new one on order and replaced it, so far no issues and its been great!

I have had this no start, no crank condition happen at least 7 times in the last 6 months. Insert the key fob, turn the key, no power to any lights on instrument panel. Turn the key to crank the engine, nothing, dead. Remove the key fob and reinsert, then it starts.

This is ridiculous! Especially on a new truck (2017) with a $65,000 Sticker Price! My truck will not start. It sounded like the starter, but I had it checked out and starter is fine, battery is fine.
Only when I wiggled the shifter like a child, it turned over, but still hesitated to turn. Seemed like it has about 50% less power while turning over, definitely an electrical issue and a real pain in the ass, I have to now leave truck on where I go from place to place because I don't want to get stuck out in the Bronx with just my *&^% in my hand if you know what I mean!
