Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After about 2 years after we had the truck serviced for valve system issue which we were notified about via mail. We began having these starting issues that many of you are also describing. We took it back to dealer as it was still under warranty. We were told they needed to do a complete diagnostic on it which we could not afford. We purchased the truck in 2007 with 25000 miles and full warrantee. But diagnostics isn't part of that. So we have only recently began investigating tis issue more in depth, as we were told it was probably an intake issue or and exhaust issue. …”
