I believe some manufacturers are using 'green solder' ie lead free and this
could be the problem.
It is rather odd that when delving deep into electronics goods
specifications many actually state, only operate at 0-30C.................

Re: electrical issue?
Thank-you for your advice. Am taking it to my dealership next week (as the
vehicle is under waranty still). Problem is....I was told that the tech
needs to witness the problem. I'm leaving it overnight at the dealer's in
hopes that it will be demonstrated in the morning. I hope its really
cold........

Often it's caused by bolting power semiconductors to heat sink fins on
the chassis. Vibration and thermal stress eventually cracks the solder
or even the circuit board. Better designs use a spring clip so that the
component can slide under high stress.
