Back up camera failure the day after I bought the truck from a dealership. With the vehicle lifted in the rear and the blind spots it has mirrors only do so much before you have to open the door while backing up just to make sure it’s good enough or you aren’t sticking out while parked. It hasn’t been professionally inspected. No lights but it started as a black screen with green lines and eventually turned to a bright blue screen that is blinding at night when trying to back up.

Driving through thunderstorms the rear sliding window popped out from the bracket. The top bracket came loose allowing the window to pop out. This top bracket was fastened with 4 strips of 2 sided tape. Had to pull over and tape the window & bracket.
Rear camera image becomes distorted or inoperable during reversing. Discovered recent a recall covers many similar vehicles however not my specific vehicle despite having the same issue.
The windshield wiper linkage could corrode and seize. If this happens, the windshield wipers may not work. Windshield wipers that don't work could reduce visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

When operating the turn signal and using the wipers on delay, I smelled a plastic like burning smell thinking it was the wiring in the controller arm. This happened several times and eventually the wiper runs 100% on the time delay with no way to turn off except by pulling the fuse. I can operate the normal speeds of the wipers when it rains if needed but I still get a smell sometimes. I have not had the issue looked at but will next week at an independent repair shop. I'm concerned maybe an electrical issue could cause a fire at some point in time.

The frame holding the panaramic moonroof in place has failed and cracked in two places leaving the panaramic moonroof loose and must be repaired immediately. The moonroof is apt to fly out or drop inside while driving on the interstate highway causing injury or death to the driver, passenger or others on the road. There have been reports noted online of the moonroof exploding while driving at high speeds due to the rattling because the moonroof is not secured properly due to the frame being cracked.

I was driving at a slow speed on a dirt road directly into the sun when it was just rising. The conditions of the sky were slightly hazey. The entire windshield turned into a bright white light. (from right to left and top to bottom covering every square inch of the windshield) I could no longer see outside in front of me. I stopped. It was brighter than the sun 100 fold. No matter where I moved, the bright light of the windshield did not allow me to see. I had to roll down my window and place my head outside the vehicle to keep from driving off the road and into a different direction about a mile up the road. After going in a different direction everything was all right. I am concerned for other drivers that they may encounter this similar situation possibly causing an accident. My conclusions were: 1. The direct sunlight into the multiple star pits caused from highway/roadway gravel onto the windshield combined with windshield wiper fluid created the bright light that made the vehicle unsafe and undrivable. 2. The angle positioning of the windshield had something to do with the bright light... 3. The use of armoural on the dashboard as a preservative caused a chemical reaction onto the inside of the windshield (greasing the inside of the windshield contributing to the flash of bright light across the windshield). I will keep the windshield for 72 hours for your inspection. I plan on having the windshield replaced. This is a very dangerous situation.
