ELECTRIC WINDOWS CLOSED THEMSELVES, AIR CONDITIONING WOULD NOT OPERATE. DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. MANUAL BRAKE WAS SET AND COULD BE RELEASED, BUT LIGHT NEVER WENT OUT. TRUCK WAS ABOUT 90 DEGREES IN HAWAII HEAT, SO COULDN'T DRIVE IT TO DODGE DEALER WITH NO AIR AND WINDOWS INOPERABLE. SCARY. HAD IT HAULED TO DEALER ON TRUCK WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. DEALER SAID BATTERY DRAINED AND TIPM NEEDS REPLACEMENT, AND THEN FURTHER INVESTIGATION. EST. $3,000 ALREADY FOR REPAIRS. IN MONTH LEADING UP TO THIS, VEHICLE HAD VIBRATION.
