Tailgate randomly opens when the vehicle hits 15 mph and activates the door locks along with the tailgate lock. Contents spill out of the bed and into traffic. I cant find a safety bulletin but this appears to be a common issue. This should be recalled immediately. This has happened 15 times on my vehicle in the last month. The vehicle is approx 18 months old and has less than 30K miles on it. Example of the issue. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=uha6wuvqthg
The tailgate comes open sometimes when driving. The tailgate did not have any cargo against it. The tailgate has came open several times over the last two months. Last time it happened was on 5/18/2018.
Vehicle was pointed downhill on a concrete driveway with a trailer attached which weighed approximately 1200 pounds. The vehicle's transmission was in park, the parking brake applied and the engine off. A wheel chock was placed in front (downhill side) of the drivers rear wheel. The vehicle was left undistributed for approximately 20 to 30 minutes when it began to roll downhill on its own. It came to rest in a ditch.
Put truck in park. Left the motor running. Got out went into shop came back out a couple of minutes later and truck had rolled backwards and struck a telephone pole. When I opened the drivers door the gear selector said it was in reverse.
In cold weather the electric driver side window repeatedly disconnected from the track. This causes the window to free fall into the door while driving at highway speed. Fca claims this is a safety feature and will not cover repeated repair under warranty. Dealer suggestion to prevent problem is to not use window in weather below 32 degrees. Personally had my window come off track twice in 1 week, once without even trying to operate the window.
