2023 BS Badlands “Shift System Fault” message

[winn70]

47,000 miles on our 23’ BS Badlands and a “Shift System Fault” message came up 3 times after about 140 into a 165
Mile trip for my wife this week. “Service
immediately “ also popped up. I immediately looked at my Alerts and it didn’t show up! I called our service dept. and he could not locate any alerts. It was and still is running fine. It goes in Friday to be checked out. One thing after another with this vehicle. Shocks, water-pumps, sway bar, fuel injector recall (still not addresses). We also get “Hillside Braking failure” alert weekly.

You are stating that you have these issues? You have us confused.

Hey @winn70 what is the age in months of your Battery on the 23’ Big Bend and can you look at the battery to see if it says AGM

You say you have issues with the front stabilizer bar or the links to this? Do you happen to have a lift kit installed?

No lift kit. Sway bar was replaced..

We bought it new in August 2023. I will take a look. I’ve read a loose battery cable or weak battery can cause those messages.
