1. The auto close button doesn't engage enough when fully closed to turn off the interior lights. It does engage however when slightly lifted from the exterior. Is there a simple fix for this?

You paid an arm and a leg to get this, why don't you bring it back to the dealer and have them fixed it. It is covered by your new vehicle warranty anyway.

2. The low tire pressure light has come on a few times on my dash computer. I have aired the tires to the PSI indicated on the drivers door panel (well below the MAX PSI printed on the tire), but still got the error light. Also, how do you view the individual tire pressures from the dash computer? (I get stuck on: menu-R button???)

It could be a bad valve, I don't know if you can read pressure from inside the truck, but why don't you get a digital pressure gauge and check it. In any case, bring it back to the dealer to fix. You've paid good money for the warranty service, USE THEM.


3. When going over the car to check everything out, I noticed that the rear wheel wells are made of fabric(?). They are plastic on the front. Is this normal? If so, why is this made this way? It seems that it would become disgusting, not to mention fall apart easily.

Can't help you with this, did you actually touch it to tell? looking is deceiving.

Much Thanks!
