ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The backup camera image froze while in reverse motion. I noticed the image froze and deferred to my mirrors but had I not noticed the freeze I could have hit something. This has happened twice in five months of ownership.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
During heavy rain the HVAC system can fill with water to the point it leaks on the passenger floor. The cabin air filter is full of water and high humidity air is blown from the vents. This results in diminished defrost performance. Took truck to dealership and they could not reproduce and did not document anything.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Water leak/intrusion into the passengers side of the vehicle during a rain storm. The leak allows water to enter the car interior which causes mold to grow in the carpet. Also the area where the water enters is directly above the main fuse panel for the car. This was on a few week old car, essentially new from factory. The dealer confirmed there was a leak due to faulty component installation from the factory. The fresh air intake/cowl was defective. See attached photo for report from dealer tech.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The speedometer is incorrect at highway speeds. Vehicle is brand new with factory installed Continental 225/65R17 tires. The speed indicated on the speedometer is slower than the actual speed. This was verified by 2 GPS devices and LIDAR. At between 70-80mph the speedometer reads slow by 2mph. I wouldn't be as concerned if it read off in the other direction, but this will cause people to unknowingly speed and break the law.

Water is leaking into the cabin air filter and onto floor of the passenger side. That’s the water I could see it’s likely in the fire wall and carpets as well and will cause a mold issue.

The back middle seatbelt warning light always thinks someone isn’t buckled even when no one is there. We keep that buckled so it doesn’t ding. The forward pre collision sensors do not work at all.
