Automatic headlights that come on when vehicle is turned on do not work, nor do they work when the switch is engaged. Manufacturer and the dealer have been notified of the problem.

Headlights and dash lights went out. Cruise quits then works. Power windows quit, then work. Dealer checked grounds and installed new headlight and power window switchs. Now power door locks quit and cruise quit again. Feel unsafe driving vehicle, especially at night. Problems not solved.

On 4 occasions dashboard lights and headlights have completely failed while driving, causing poor visibility. After shuting off vehicle and waiting 15 minutes, lights will restart. Dealer cannot determine cause.

Rear axle welded wrong 1/2 off, drag linkage installed backwards, headlights way out of adjustment causing limited 30-50 visibility, propane hose blocking fill valve and needs to be pried out of the way to fill tank which could cause a crack or leak, the federal safety agency recall repair not completed at dealer even though they had the replacement for 20 days prior to delivery.
