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.
Both of my windows which slide down with the push of a button do not work! They have both busted. One is stuck down. The other I have to shove up because while driving from the vibrations it falls. Very unsafe. They both stopped work while I was operating them by pushing the button for them to slide down. I have not replaced them yet. Its very costly. Its hard to believe no recall has been done. I have found many other complaints regarding this.
For the past few months when I turn on my truck the airbag light turns on and stays on for a few hours stating that it needs service. It happens every few weeks and it can be very dangerous. If I were to be involved in a car accident the air bags may or may not deploy. I had taken it back to the dealership where I purchased the truck to take a look at it and they said it was ok, that I must of passed a bump too fast causing it to turn on, but it has been quite a while and it continues to do the same thing.
Driving on interstate 91 south, glanced down to see my speedometer indicated I was traveling 75 miles perhour let off the accelerator to decrease speed when I realized the vehicle behind mine had to pull around my vehicle to avoid hitting mine in the rear. Several miles later I discovered my speedometer indicated I was traveling 120MPH although keeping up with traffic.
Fuel gauge stopped working and the front end sounds like its loose. I have a five year old and can;t even tell when I'm low on gas and I'm not sure what's going on with the front end.
