Example complaints

“Radiator failure due to poor design. Leaking at the plastic seams under drain petcock. Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these units are failing years before they should. Some consumers spend 50k+ on these trucks and yet are forced to repair the leaking radiator at a substantial cost out of pocket after the warranty expires.”
