IT STARTED WITH THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW NOT WORKING, THEN THE LOCKS, THEN ALL THE WINDOWS. THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY HOWEVER IT'S BECOMING MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN NOT. MY TRUCK GOES THROUGH LAMPS QUICKLY I REPLACE A HEADLIGHT AT LEAST 2 TIMES A YEAR AND SEVERAL REVERSE LIGHTS OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. MOST RECENTLY I NOTICED THE INTEGRATED CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DON'T T WORK OR WORK INAPPROPRIATELY. I CAN NO LONGER TURN MY RADIO OFF WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON. AS OF LAST WEEK THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF ABRUPTLY AND DON'T WORK WITH ONE OF MY DOORS. IT APPEARS IT IS JUST GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR MERE SECONDS, THEN SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE INTERIOR LIGHT THAT TURNS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED OR THE PUSH BUTTON TO TURN ON IS PUSHED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF. *TR

ELECTRIC WINDOW CONTROL BUTTONS ON ALL DOORS(DRIVER, PASSENGER, AND BOTH BACK DOORS BECAME GLITCHY. SOMETIMES THEY WORKED SOMETIMES THEY DID NOT. UNABLE TO ROLL UP OR ROLL DOWN. THEN HOURS OR DAYS LATER THEY WOULD RANDOMLY WORK AGAIN, AND THEN RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. *TR

TURN SIGNALS BEGAN TO RANDOMLY BLINK ON EITHER SIDE (OR BOTH SIDES) REGARDLESS WHICH DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL WAS BEING USED. CODE READER AT DEALERSHIP SHOWED PROBLEM WITH TIPM. *TR
