Dash instruments, radio, compass, overhead console, all blank and inoperable. Was told by for service that many vehicles 2017 to 2019 are having same problem. Told the instrument cluster module powers multiple areas of truck and will need a new module. Was told there is a glitch in the design.

I went to adjust the Headlights. The screws started spinning with no adjustments. Apparently their is a plastic connecting piece between the metal rusted or locked up screw and the Headlight adjustment gear. The plastic piece sheers not allowing adjustment. All internal to the Headlight. It happened on both lights. They are the LED lights. I took it to the dealer. They could not adjust either and said it would be 2000 in parts not including labor per Headlight to repair. The extended warranty which said it covered led lights would not cover. A Google search showed this is a recurring problem. The headlights cannot be adjusted.

The issue started with the automatic tailgate deploying or opening during transit. I was hauling cargo and the at highway speed the tailgate opened and the load ejected from the the bed of truck onto the highway. Fortunately there was no accident or damage to anyone else property. After this occurrence over a period of weeks the issue continues to get worse. It happens now regularly and numerous times during a day. I do not haul cargo now because of this. Now the truck electrical system seems to be involved. The windows, radio and lights have issues. The tailgate has no now stopped opening randomly and is stuck in the closed position, this could be do to extreme force I applied during closing it in while stetting at a busy intersection recently. The instrument P[panel on the vehicle is very intelligent and all the settings regular disconnect or malfunction now. I am afraid to use the the cruise control because of the continuously random nature of the electronic failures.

Led headlight adjustment screw does not work. When adjusting the headlights because they are shining too high. The headlight adjustment screw turns but the headlights do not adjust up and down. The headlight are too high and blinding other drivers and there is no way to adjust them. Contacted the dealer and manufacturer and they will not warranty the problem.
