What owners wrote
Had a recall on ignition wiring & ABS---replaced wiring harness under dash only with the steering column---a month or so later battery completely melted, the check engine light was staying on---they were to reset the computer--instead without being consulted took the truck motor apart
A brake failure due to a rupture in the front passenger side brake hose connected to the caliper. This failure LED me to narrowly escape an accident when attempting to stop at a red light. The failure appears to be caused by the brake line being too short causing excessive flexing during turning at the crimp connector on the caliper end of the brake line.
