Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The transmission went out on our truck. It is only 5 years old, with 61,153 miles. The dealership has us contact their customer service, who in turn told us the vehicle was too old & too many miles for any help from them. We had a estimate from a private shop prior to taking the truck to the dealership. Both places said we needed a new transmission. I don't feel like the truck is old enough or the mileage is high enough to justify the transmission going out. This truck was sold with a work package which included the towing kit. It has not been abused in any way. …”

NHTSA complaint #713136, filed 1999-10

“Windshield wipers would not operate at various times when needed. Dealer notified not long after purchase. Could not find problem. Drive shaft broke while leaving parking lot. Glad no one hurt.”

NHTSA complaint #725357, filed 2000-07

“Fuel system was cutting off during drive. Taken in and worked on by dealer. Real axle seals have been replaced 2/3 times (97/99). Driver's seat has separated from the frame. Battery/alternator malfunction recently. Will be taking in vehicle to dealer about seat and battery/alternator situation this week. I just have to get the batteries recharged enough to get the truck started. Just had all 8 glow plugs replaced end of nov 1999 right after the warranty completed.( DOT number: ad11c98356 tire size: lt 245/75r )”
