ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 52K MILES, I STARTED RECEIVING MESSAGES ON MY TRUCK THAT SAID "STABILITY CONTROL" WAS OUT AND IT LOCKS THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL, LOSING ALL STEERING, THE RADIO AND THEN THE TRUCK GOES COMPLETELY DEAD. THE AC GOES ON/OFF AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. THIS IS ALWAYS AT LOW SPEEDS BETWEEN 5-10 MPH AND MOST COMMONLY WHEN MAKING A TURN. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY'RE TELLING ME I NEED A NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACEMENT?
