What owners wrote
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.
I bought this vehicle in dec. 2001. I had problems with the ABS from the beginning. The dealer had certain part of the ABS replaced, but problems persisted. The ABS does not stop thew vehicle at low speeds( under 35MPH) and this has resulted in 2 crashes and vehicle damage. Dealer can not seem to repair problem.
The end of july, my right front tire developed a bubble and some separation. I had the tire replaced and had the remainder checked and rotated. On august 17 while on my way home from tucson, the right rear tire separated and blew. We went off the road and rolled into a palo verde tree. Luckily, myself and my passenger escaped with minor cuts and bruises. The insurance company totalled my vehicle. They did not cover anywhere near replacement value of the truck nor my welding equipment which was also totalled.
Firestone wilderness tires (p265 75 r16) experienced 5 flat tires, 2 of those were unrepairable, consumer is requesting a reimbursement for replacement tires. *slc
The cable that holds the tailgate in place continually breaks. The dealer told the consumer to bring the truck in to be repaired but when he got there they told him the repair was only for the full size truck.
Vehicle did not stop, applied emergency brakes, I was backing out of my driveway went to apply brakes peddle went to the floor, lucky there were no vehicle passing while backing up. After further investigation found that brake lines were rusted, had to get towed to mechanic for repair at a cost of $1,000. The vehicle only has 86,000 miles, the only part on the whole vehicle that is rusted are the brake lines, I hope that this can be rectified because this was an expensive repair and could of become deadly.
