    The other day I was driving and about ten minutes into the ride smoke started to come out of the center console. I stopped as soon as it was safe to open the console and the smoke started to fade and smelt electrical but fire. I also noticed the power sockets were not working as well. I continued home with no issues. The next day, I started it up and everything was fine, until I pulled into traffic, the gauges went crazy and the radio shut off. The speedometer stopped working and the truck acted sluggish. I pulled into a gas station shut it down to restart the system and when to start, dead! I found the blown fuse, then jumped it and it started, run for about 30 seconds then spudered out. I am at a lost. I am having it towed to the dealership tomorrow but I figured I would see what others thought first.

    I just had my front bumper and grill replaced after a minor accident. No after market parts have been added by myself.
