“Windshield wiper motor and wipers failed during rain. Leave the switch on and hope they start working again. This truck not included in recall, but does the same thing as recalled trucks. Transmission refuses to shift from first to second gears. Stop truck, shut off engine, restart and proceed seems to work most of the time to get transmission working correctly. Sometimes must repeat several times. Cruise control failed. Both shifters replaced to fix this problem. Alternator replaced 3 times. Air conditioning pump replaced 3 times. …”
