Anyone else with a limited have trouble with the 110 volt outlet behind the center console? We mainly try to use this to let our kids charge phones and other devices, but more often than not, the connection isn't secure enough to allow for a charge. If you wiggle the plug around, you may get it going, but normally it's a bust.

I've been thinking of taking it in for warranty work, and now that I see TSBs out for roof rain noise and A-pillar rattle, best to get all the little nagging issues taken care of.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen this.

I had a rental with the 110v plug and it wouldn't hold any plug in. So loose that everything would fall out.
 












I have the same problem. It is just not "tight".

You can pop the plug out, take it apart and squeeze the contacts together to solve this problem. The plug assembly comes out pretty easy, just make sure the truck is off and no power is flowing through there before you start.
