Seen this problem Yesterday, we think it is a door blend actuator, but if it is only 5 months old take it back to the dealer and have them complete the warrenty.

Tail gate lock is electric so maybe it is grounded out.

Check the ground for the backup light-I'll bet it shares a ground with the interior lights.When you put it in reverse,it is feeding 12v to one side of the bulb,and instead of going through the bulb to a ground,it is seeking a ground elsewhere(through the interior light).The lights are dim because it has created a series circuit,so the bulbs are running at a lower voltage.
