Example complaints
Body and structure: “I own a 2007 Kodiak pickup conversion with hydraulic brakes. After a heavy rain, I noticed water coming from the area of the brake actuator rod at the firewall. No failure has ensued, but I was unable to determine if this was a primary brake problem or a problem with the windshield seal. Eventually the corrosion or moisture in the passenger foot well will create a safety problem.”
