What owners wrote
While driving and with no warning, the vehicle leaked fuel. Dealer notified. Injector pump failed, truck would run but fuel would run down the side of the engine with it running on the exhaust pipe, possible fire condition. *scc
Many problems: 4 wheel drive sensor, front end suspension, parking brake, service brakes, anti-lock brakes, speed sensors, radio, center console, engine noise rapping when starting, tailgate cables, anti-theft sensor, and now the battery voltage gauge needle excess dropping when stopping, engine idling to low when stopping. Dealer says problem is normal. Let's test drive a new truck and show me it is normal. This truck is a lemon in my eyes!
