Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the head unit or screen (48 reports), the camera (17 reports), the software (9 reports) and the module (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations
8 recalls on the electrical system cover the 2022 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
A software error may cause the rearview camera image to be obstructed by the infotainment home screen menu when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module (ITRM) may lose communication with the vehicle, possibly causing a loss of brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of brake function.
The moonroof wind deflector clips may be inadequately attached to the moonroof frame, which can result in the wind deflector detaching from the vehicle.
A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.
Due to a software error, a towed trailer equipped with an electric or electric-over hydraulic brake system may not brake.

What owners wrote
“Bluetooth connects with loud static and does not allow hands free cell phone usage. Also, navigation screen freezes while using GPS.”

“The display screen went black. Without it there is no back up camera ( and many other features). This is a king cab long bed. Very dangerous to drive without these important safety features working properly. The dealer says it is a âcommon problemâ. It is a $1500 repair if it were not still under warranty.”

“The radio will make a loud popping static noise that is louder than a gun shot. Damaging to my ears and children.”
Filed Jan 22, 2024
“My radio/stereo/speakers introduced an extremely loud "pop" noise, or "banging" noise. It was reminiscent to my time overseas in the military and gunfire. It was extremely startling and hurtful to all three passengers in my vehicle, including myself, my spouse, and my 2-year-old child. This is a recurring issue as of now, and many others are complaining about the same issue happening to them.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 63 reports involved a crash and 5 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
