Haven't seen it but I'm not a bit surprised.
They just can't leave things alone when it works and have to keep adding stupid **** that ends up causing problems.
That's one of my biggest complaints about technology, is that everything barely works because they are in so much of a hurry to get the new things that barely work out for sale.

All those soccer moms traded in their station wagons for SUV's, and now they drive pickups, an need every little convenience to help them get through their daily struggles. Wave your foot and the rear hatch goes up? What are your hands for? If you have that much crap, it should be in a cart! A ladder to help get into the pickup box, and a railing? Step on the tire (if you can get your foot that high!) and climb over the side of the box! It's a truck, and meant for work. Sad thing is they are nicer than a lot of cars out there, and drive like one, now that no one makes a solid front axle in a half ton (that I know of, but I'm not buying so I wouldn't know). I've got two trucks that ride and drive like trucks, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. $60k+ for a Ram 1500? No thanks.
