Definitely want this looked at on my truck. Every time I go through a specific yield intersection my truck would stall out and die and flash a bunch of lights. If I turned off the auto start stop function and went through the same intersection it wouldn’t happen.

If it only happens when stop/start is enabled I guess this recall wouldn't have affected my 2021 since I had an autostop eliminator installed. Not that it matters since I traded that truck in last June LOL.

I was in the dealership yesterday getting an alignment done. They performed the software update for me.

A few times I have been coasting up a hill to an intersection, I would slow almost to a stop then hit the gas and the truck would feel like it wanted to fall flat on its face. Maybe this is it.

Also, does anyone know if this would mess with any settings changed with AlfaOBD?

Would yours throw an error on the dash? i.e 'Shift to P then..." or is it just slow/rough to shift?
Mine [2020 with Etorque] has been acting up the past few months with various electronic gremlins.

Everything went fine. I was in and out of the dealership in about 45 minutes. The throttle feels a little more responsive now.

They are lying out their butts. Mine has shut off 3 times now and its a 2022 model. It did it last week when I pulled away from a stop sign. In the middle of traffic. I am pissed but I already took it to Autonation and they said they fixed it. They did not.
