As the title says, my truck is a 2016 6.7L Powerstroke with only about 57k miles. Sorry for the long post, just seeing if anyone else has experienced anything like this.
A few weeks ago, my wife pulls up to the launch ramp to retrieve the boat, as she's waiting in line for whatever reason she decided to turn the truck off, when she goes to turn it back on it won't start so she flags me down, I tie the boat up to the dock and walk up. The truck has the autoseat adjustment, so as soon as you put the key in, the seat will move to your set position and when you take the key out, it moves back (I am sure you all know how that works) anyway, I put the key in and notice right away the seat isn't moving, turn the key and nothing happens, stereo comes on, dash lights up, no warning or anything but when you turn the key nothing, doesn't crank or anything. I sit there for about 5 minutes turning key back and forth, then all of sudden it fires up like normal. Get the boat out and go home.
Since then it has started fine, but a few times when I would start it, the windshield wipers would cycle even though they were turned off, once they even got about halfway up and stopped in the middle of the windshield.
This weekend on Saturday I drove it to the carwash then on the way back while coasting on a slight downhill to a red light, the truck just turned off, no sputtering, no warning lights, stereo stayed on, but engine just shut off. Luckily I was going slow, coasted to a stop, put it in park, and it fired right back up. Drove it straight home. Saturday evening I drove it around the neighborhood trying to see if it would shut off again, and it didn't worked just fine.
Sunday morning started up fine, drove to my moms house, visited for about 2 hours, hopped in truck to leave, and it did the same thing it did at the boat launch, turn the key and nothing happens, seat doesnt move, stereo comes on, but engine wont crank. Get my dads voltage meter and both batteries read about 12.65 so I didn't think batteries. Kept turning key hoping to get lucky like I did at the launch, but nothing is happening. For shits and giggles and hook up a jumper box to the passenger side battery, nothing. So then I hook the jumper box to the driver side battery and turn the key and everything fires up like normal. I drive it home and park it. Sunday evening I load tested the batteries and they both test out fine, hooked a scanner up and there are no codes. Drove truck around, turned it off and on a few times and everything is fine.
Going to take it to the dealer, but if there are no codes and I can't get it to replicate the issue, not sure if there is anything they can do.
Has anyone had this happen?
