While in motion and stationary the vehicle with have power surges through the electrical system. While stationary the tailgate will open on its own and the horn will randomly start blowing. While in motion and stationary the vehicle will blow headlamps and tail lamps. The wires in the head and tail lamps have caught on fire and have melted the wires. Yesterday the rear drivers side tail lamp caught on fire and burned the casing and wires. The vehicle will randomly stall and sometimes won't start.
Transmission shifted into 4 wheel drive (4wd) low, suddenly, accompanied by a clunk and change in vehicle speed from downshifting. Lights came one in the dash indicating loss of traction control and 4wd service needed. This event continued to happen sporadically while driving until we made it back to the dealership.
