   The stereo/infotainment system in my truck attempted to do an over the air update at some point and it failed.

From October/November 2025 I’ve been noting that there’s been a significant loss of engine oil prior to scheduled maintenance that requires anywhere between 4-5quart top off every three months or so. Feels like the vehicle is…

When you received an audible notification from the vehicle, you had no way to see the message. As far as any vehicular information, you were not able to see anything.
