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 t-boned a vehicle that ran a stop sign. I was travelling between 50 to 55 miles per hour. I had major front end damage to my pickup. My airbags did not deploy. I feel I would not have been as injured if my airbags had deployed.
I had one blow out 5/27/01 at 50 miles an hour coming off the highway. I then took the tire to ted wiens firestone in las vegas on 6/2/01; they refused to exchange the tire or give credit. I then went to discount tire and replaced the back two tires with goodyears on 6/2/01. I did not replace the front two! The last blow out on 7/01/01 caused the truck to veer off the road, causing a major crash. The crash totaled the truck , trailer and horses. All of the occupants of the truck suffered life threatening injuries.
While traveling at 55 MPH vehicle was completely totalled, and no airbags went off. Front of the truck was pushed in 18 inches.
While consumer was standing on rear of the vehicle tailgate cable snapped. As a result, consumer fell to the ground, and sustained I left knee injuries.
While driving 5-70 MPH consumer lost power steering/braking. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Deaalership repaired the power steering and brake components, but the consumer was still having the same problems.
