Just passed 20k miles in 9 months truck has been great. Drove from San Diego to Boston and back a couple of times. Except for last month as it has been at the dealership waiting for a new tailgate lightbar. Sounds like I am getting the same model as they have not redesigned the part yet.

Why did you leave the truck with them? When I had my dealer verify the light bar issue they did not ask to keep my truck while they waited for the parts to arrive. I’m embarrassed to imagine how I would have behaved if they wanted my truck for a month while they waited for the part?!?!

When it started to go the Back up lights would just come on and stay on. Then I started to lose all of the LEDs. When I brought it to them it was dead. I did make an appointment, but that apparently did not put me in the queue, and it was so bad when I dropped it off I decided to wait. I have a rental so it is not so bad. The BZ4X just doesn't match up.

That sucks. Mine luckily never got that bad, the brake lights and reverse light started flickering occasionally during the wait to get the new part but when I brought mine in at first to the dealer the moisture had not started wreaking havoc yet.
