A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The truck has ABS brakes. When applying brakes they were not operating and caused a four car collision. Tt consumer lists that there were two injuries and four fatalities, nothing else is mentioned about the injuries/deaths. Dealer replaced knuckle assembly, due to popping noises. Transmission leak, dealer replaced pump cover. Poor gas mileage and poor power, dealer replaced injector assembly. *slc
Windshield washer motor. Wiring not the problem as I selected in first complaint . Works on and off , after I tap the motor .
I was never notified of a recall on my vehicle. I notified the company after my mechanic informed me about the recall. The recall had expired, but since I never received the information, I notified them, and only ask for reimbursement of the final repairs. I felt it was there responsibility, because of the failure to notify me.
