“Bought this vehicle from a dealer and cannot get it inspected due to the issues with the ABS and steering sensors.replaced ABS module and am still having trouble with it. The dealer would not do anything to resolve any of these issues because I bought it as is and they refused to give me any kind of warranty and had me sign an affidavit stating so.when I left the dealership I had to fuel up and hit the brakes and could barely get it stopped.found a lot of bad brake lines and the ABS light came on”

The person that sold he this car knew it did not pass emissions in September 2024 and I bought it in November 2024. A dealership checked car fax for me after I bought it. And this person rolled back the odometer also. I found this out after I purchased it.”
NHTSA complaint #11637676, filed 2025-01“When driving it feels like I'm slowing down when I'm not. The lights inside, the headlights, & on dashboard flicker & sometimes go out while driving. My seatbelts on the driver, back seat behind driver not working. The driver seat does not adjust so I can position myself correctly. The truck rocks side to side while driving as if it will tip over on its side if I drive over 30. I just recently acquired the truck within the last few months and I need to be on the road driving my babies around. I love the truck andu problems with it sounds and drive like it's all a safety issue. …”
